CASE STUDY TO ELABORATE ON:
Y.L., a 34-year-old Southern Asian woman, comes to the clinic with complaints of chronic
fatigue, increased thirst, constant hunger, and frequent urination. She denies any pain, burning,
or low-back pain on urination. She tells you she has a vaginal yeast infection that she has treated
numerous times with over-thecounter medication. She works full time as a clerk in a loan
company and states she has difficulty reading numbers and reports, resulting in her making
frequent mistakes. She says, “By the time I get home and make supper for my family, then put
my child to bed, I am too tired to exercise.” She reports her feet hurt; they often “burn or feel
like there are pins in them.” She has a history of gestational diabetes and reports that after her
delivery she went back to her traditional eating pattern, which is high in carbohydrates. In
reviewing Y.L.’s chart, you note she last saw the provider 6 years ago after the delivery of her
last child. She has gained considerable weight; her current weight is 173 pounds. Today her
blood pressure (BP) is 152/97mm Hg, and a random plasma glucose level is 291mg/dL. The
provider suspects that Y.L. has developed type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and orders the
laboratory studies shown in the chart
