A Woman You Have Seen After the Birth of Her

Question 210

Multiple Choice

A woman you have seen after the birth of her first child comes to you and tells you she has an at-home glucometer and regularly tests her blood sugar. It is sometimes a fasting blood sugar and sometimes not, but she remembers at least twice when she hadn't eaten for hours, her numbers were 148 and 160 mg/dL. What should you talk to her about?


A) Nothing; she doesn't have a blood glucose problem, but she probably should cut back on her sweets.
B) She probably has insulin resistance, but it's not very serious yet. She should come back in a few months with more glucose readings.
C) She probably is prediabetic, but can take her time getting any information.
D) She has diabetes and would benefit from a professional diagnosis and formal classes on living with diabetes.
