About this document
Diabetes Diagnosis and Management Case Study by Jane Bacnotan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
A 58-year-old obese man complained to his doctor of frequent urination. Laboratory tests found a non-fasting plasma glucose level of 225 mg/dL, glucose in his urine, and no ketones in his urine. This suggests a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes given the symptoms and high blood sugar level. The preferred test to confirm is a fasting plasma glucose test. Monitoring tests after diagnosis include blood glucose self-monitoring, HbA1c levels, and microalbuminuria to check for kidney damage.
