J.R., a 16 year old female is present with her mother
to discuss elevated blood sugars. The mother tells
you her daughter has had diabetes since the age of 8
and has always done really well with it- monitoring,
taking the correct amount of insulin and eating about
45-60 gm of total carbohydrates at breakfast, lunch
and dinner and about 30 gm of carbohydrates for an
afternoon and possibly an evening snack. Her
mother is concerned because for the past 6 months,
since she has started her junior year of high school
and started to date a boy, her blood sugars have
been erratic and more or less in the 300-500s.
She reports she does not believe her daughter is
checking her blood sugars like she needs to be
or eating correctly or even taking the right
amount of insulin. She also indicates her
daughter has lost about 30 lbs within these past 6
months and she does not know what to do.
The daughter is very quiet during this time, so
you ask both her and the mother if it would be
alright for the mom to wait outside. The
daughter, who is the client, eagerly agrees.
When you have the client alone she tells you all her
friends are super skinny and because of all this insulin
she has to take she got fat (however when you look at her,
she looks emaciated.) She heard that if you keep your
blood sugars really high you can lose weight very
quickly. She also tells you she eats 2 meals a day and
does not even count carbohydrates any longer. She
informs you she takes half of the insulin amount she
needs to and does not do the correction factor.
Height: 5’4” Weight: 110 lbs
Weight history: 140 lbs (4 months ago per MD)

Is
this a form of an eating disorder and if so
which type?
How
would you counsel this client?
Would
you tell the mom your conversation?
A
42 year old woman, R.S., is present and
very distraught that she will have to be
on dialysis in another year if she does not
start taking care of herself. When asked,
the client told you the doctor told her this
would happen. She informed you she
does have a past medical history of
diabetes, hypertension, renal failure and
high cholesterol. She reports she is
eating very little protein, not that much
salt and just does not know what else to
do.
She brought in her most current labs:
BUN 24
Creatinine 2.3
Sodium 135
Potassium 4.1
Phosphorus 5.0
Glucose 105
Height: 5’5” Weight: 130 pounds
Medications: Multivitamins, Omega 3s,
Lipitor, Lasix, Atenolol

A
20 year old female, E.D., is present with type 1
diabetes and is coming to you because her blood
sugars have been high for the past month. She
currently is in her 3rd year of undergraduate
studying engineering. She reports she has had
diabetes since the age of 5 and knows how to
carbohydrate count and administer the correct
amount of insulin to the amount of carbohydrates
consumed, she also checks her blood sugars at
least 4 times per day and when she feels bad or
is sick. She admits she has been staying up later
at night and eating more because of her difficult
classes.
She also goes out on Friday nights and will drink
2-3 bottles of beer. She has not been exercising
as much and has gained at least 10 pounds within
the past 6 months. She would like to know how
many calories and carbohydrates she needs to
consume per day and how to stop the late night
eating.
