CLINICAL QUIZ: Diabetes Case Questions

Diabetes Case 14

A 29 year old female with T1DM since age of 11, treated with multiple daily injection using Insulin Detemir 20 units at night and Insulin Aspart 1 unit per 10 grams of carbohydrates per meal.

Diabetes Case 13

68-year-old female with a 17 year history of type 2 diabetes is seen in follow-up. She does have hypertension, hyperlipidemia with known coronary disease with prior PTCA/stent 2 years ago. She did have an ophthalmology evaluation where there was no evidence of background retinopathy.

Medications include: Metformin 850 mg twice daily, Actos 30 mg daily, sitagliptin 100 mg daily

Diabetes Case 12

A 42 year-old woman with type 1 diabetes for 22 years was married recently, and she and her husband have decided to have a child. Neither had children previously. The woman has hypertension treated with an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and a diuretic with maintenance of blood pressure at 120/80 mm Hg. She recently had a 24 hour urine test, and the results showed a total protein of 3 grams (normal, <80 mg) and creatinine clearance of 70 mL/minute (normal, 88-128 mL/minute). Her glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is 6.7% (normal, <5.7%).
