Gail spent her first 14 years at La Perouse Mission Church where many young Aboriginals girls were housed, she was isolated from her family and was not allowed to practice any cultural traditions. When she turned 14 she was placed in a “white folks” household where she worked for 4 years as the house maid. At age 18 she was able to leave her employment and worked most of her life in the kitchen of a small golfing club on the nearby coastline. Gail had 3 children to her husband who she met while working at the golf club.Gail discovered that she had diabetes 2 years ago because her father and two sisters had diabetes too, which appeared to be a hereditary disease in her family. She was strongly recommended by her sister – who is a nurse- to have a checkup which Gail did. Apart from her course of insulin (pill form), Gail also consumes alternative medicine, such as Barley Green Herb, as well as other bush medicine supplements.Yesterday Gail presented via ambulance to Prince Henry Hospital with breathing difficulties, blood pressure (95/55), temperature 38.6 and swelling in her lower limbs and hands. Gail also has a large ulcer which has small black area on it with a small amount of excrement. On admission and assessment Gail informs you that she has never smoked cigarettes or drunken alcohol and only consumes prescribed medication. Gail has a past history of high blood pressure for the last 5 years and poorly managed diabetes. Gail appears frail, unkempt and at times confused and disorientated.Gail’s breathing has become a little more difficult because of her anxiety levels at not seeing any familiar faces or family. She is very confused and upset. She is difficult to talk with and keeps saying she “let me go home”. She keeps try to remove the O2 cannula and attempting to get out of bed. She is refusing to take any fluids and her temperature is now 39 5 degrees.Read the above case study and provide a response to the questions below.List what needs to be holistically assessed for a person with a history of diabetes. (Min 300 words)We can take the patient Gail in the case study as our example for the assessment.

(Min 300 words for table)Specimen Test Explanation and preparation for the testBLOODRandom Blood glucose level The testing of the blood sugar level at any time of the day is Random Blood Glucose level. The normal range of this blood test ranges from 70mg/dl-150mg/dl. It involves drawing of blood out from the veins by the means of an injection. We need to inform the doctor of any prior health condition or the intake of any steroid while doing this test. (2019) https://www.portea.com/…/random-blood-sugar-rbs-test-151HbA1c (glycosylated haemoglobin) It is the blood test of average blood sugar level, for the last 2/3 months that diagnosis and monitor diabetes. We don’t need to prepare anything for this test.Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) Oral glucose tolerance test: This test requires body to fast overnight. Drink sugary liquid which contain 75 grams of glucose. Blood test is done for next 2 hours. If the sugar level is less than 7.8mmol/L it is considered to be normal. If the range is between 7.8 to 11.0mmol/L it refers pre-diabetes. And, 11.1mmol/L or higher suggests diabetes.

The test kit contains dipsticks coated with chemicals that react with ketone bodies. A dipstick is dipped in the urine sample. A color change indicates the presence of ketones.

As part of your specialised training in Diabetes you are aware of the following:In 2012–13, around one in twelve (8.2%) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people had diabetes mellitus and/or high sugar levels in their blood or urine. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander rates for diabetes/high sugar levels were between three and five times as high as the comparable rates for non-Indigenous people in all age groups from 25 years and over. Based on age standardised proportions, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were three times as likely as non-Indigenous people to have diabetes/high sugar levels (rate ratio of 3.3);Modifiable risk factors including diet, exercise, waist girth and smoking require culturally-appropriate educational interventions placed within a Medicare or otherwise public-funded avenue in order to be accessible to all Australian Aboriginal diabetic patients. The management of diabetes involves prevention or delay of complications, as well as detection and treatment of complications as they arise, thus necessitating a multi-disciplinary team approach to life-long patient care.
