Main Diagnosis
Type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications, whose ICD code value is E11. 9. It is a condition characterized by excessive blood sugar levels that result in the presenting symptoms, including constant thirst and hunger and frequent micturition (Zheng et al., 2018). It also causes patients to be constantly tired and experience unexplained weight loss.
Differential diagnosis
-Hyperthyroidism (ICD 10-EO3.9). The condition is marked by constant fatigue and weakness. Also, patients with the condition urinate and sweat frequently (Carpenter et al., 2019). The ailment can be ruled out by carrying out a diagnostic procedure to gauge the functionality level of the patient's thyroid.
-Metabolic syndrome (ICD 10-E88.81). The condition is marked by frequent thirst and hunger and constant body weakness. It can be ruled out by carrying out diagnostic tests such as blood tests to determine blood cholesterol and triglycerides (Carpenter et al., 2019). The cholesterol and triglyceride levels in patients with the condition are usually abnormally high.
– Anemia (ICD 10- D64.9). The condition precipitates clinical manifestations such as body weakness and dizziness (Carpenter et al., 2019). However, it causes other symptoms absent in the patient, such as changes in the color of the skin and difficulties in breathing.
PLAN:
Labs and Diagnostic Test to be ordered (if applicable)
· – Random blood sugar: The patient's blood will be drawn at no specific time and tested to determine the blood sugar levels (Zheng et al., 2018). A blood sugar level above 200mg/dl confirms that a patient has the ailment.
· – Fasting blood sugar test-Patient's blood is collected early in the morning before eating anything and tested to determine the blood sugar level (Zheng et al., 2019). If the value is higher than 126mg/l, then the patient has the condition
Pharmacological treatment:
· The patient will be placed on an oral dose of metformin (Fortamet) tablets at 500mg Q12hrs (Zheng et al., 2018).
Non-Pharmacologic treatment:
A lifestyle modification program will be recommended to the patient to lower her basal blood sugar levels (Carpenter et al., 2019). It will include eating a healthy diet that has low sugar levels and engaging in a regular exercising program to reduce her body weight.
Education
The patient will be educated on the significance of constantly monitoring her blood sugar levels to avoid developing a medical crisis (Carpenter et al., 2019). She will also be enlightened on the significance of adhering to the prescribed treatment plan.
Follow-ups/Referrals:
The patient will be advised to visit the emergency on a follow-up visit after a month for a check-up to assess her tolerance to the prescribed medication. She will be referred to a dietitian for a recommendation of an appropriate diet plan that will help her lose weight and maintain low blood sugar levels.
