Ms Taborlin was admitted to hospital on 02 April 2008 with the complainant of diabetic ketoacidosis .During hospitalization, she was treated with intravenous fluids and insulin. Currently, she has made a good prognosis and ready to be discharged.
Upon today's visit, Ms Taborlin was found not following the recommended diet and insulin therapy therefore, she has been informed about the micro vascular and macro vascular complications of diabetes mellitus. She has been educated regarding the necessity of glucose testing, insulin administration as well as disease condition.
Ms Taborlin, a teacher lives alone in an apartment. She has had type 1 diabetes mellitus for the past seven years and is non-compliant to insulin regime.Apart from that, she has had essential hypertension and multiple episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis. She is on Lantus 45 units at night and Humalog 12 units preprandial. Her body weight is below the recommended level (BMI:18.2).She smokes moderately ,for which she was taught about smoking cessation.
