Question

Case Study for Diabetes Type 2 - Erin 

Erin is a 48-year-old Human Resource specialist. Her days are very busy, and she barely has time to eat lunch most days. She has recently been told she has Type 2 diabetes, with confirmation of high fasting values confirmed with an oral glucose tolerance test. Her doctor wants to work with her on her lifestyle modification before prescribing oral medications. She has a BMI of 28.8 and is currently walking her dog about two times per week with no symptoms or problems. She does not push herself very hard as her dog likes to stop and sniff everything.

 

  1. She has clearance from her physician to begin moderate exercise. Please make a FITT plan for her and also state what specific considerations you need to think of prior to her starting. What would you focus on for her specifically in the DIABETES lecture considerations/FITT principle? 
  2. Her glucose level before your exercise session is 65 mg/dl. She states she did not have time for lunch and is now at your center at 3PM.

How would you proceed?  Remember she is new to having diabetes and to regular exercise.
