Diabetes Case Study: The Case Of Solomon M.

Decent Essays
Reply #2 From Solomon M. to Harris M.

Hello Mr. Harris, I like how brief and strength to the point your response to the DQ is. You did a great job at scaring this kid to put his diabetes under control by eating healthy and exercise. Losing his toes, finger and extremities are very possible if his sugar levels are not kept under control. Great job, encouraging him to manage his diabetes to live along and healthy life. Thyriod strom can be upset by many this. In this case, I believe high levels of catecholamine hormones were produced in response of stress, which then worsen the effect of thyroid hormone on the entire body. This patient symptoms need to be managed right away and he or she will probably not go into surgery for days or weeks.
