Situation 1: Covina is a 16-year-old girl with newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetes. She is 5ft
2 in. tall, weighs 115 lbs and is active in taekwondo and the choir in school. She often
participates in interschool competitions. Her attending physician is in the process of
regulating the dosage and timing of her insulin regimen. She is to check and record her
blood sugar level each morning 30 minutes before taking her medications/breakfast.
Presently, she is prescribed Metformin 250 mg one tablet 30 minutes before breakfast
and Tojou 10 units at bedtime. As her parents are both working abroad, she lives with
her Grandmother, who is supportive of her studies and interests. Covina expressed
worry about keeping up with her peers and how diabetes will affect her performance
level in taekwondo. She signified willingness to modify her diet as necessary but would
prefer that her food be steamed rather than fried. She has a schedule to see you for her
diabetic Dietary Therapy.
Describe the state of evidence regarding diet therapy in the management of diabetes.
What guidance can you offer for Covina? What signs and symptoms of diabetes control
must Covina understand to manage her condition? What should she do to correct the
hypoglycemic states she may experience? Using the table below, design a diet therapy
and teaching-learning sessions to address Covina’s needs.
I. State of evidence to the diet planned:
Covina is so young to be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Her BMI shows that
she is in the Normal classification of her body mass index but it doesn’t mean
about her diagnosis. While her attending physician is in the process of
calculating the dosage and timing of her insulin regimen it would be best for
her to have a diabetic dietary therapy.
