"My daughter, Hannah, has been pestering me about changing the way we eat and getting more exercise. She says she is just trying to lose weight, but ever since I learned I have type 2 diabetes I know she's been worried about me. What I didn't realize until last night is that she is worried about herself, too. All through dinner she was really quiet: then suddenly she says, 'Mom, I had my fasting blood sugar tested at the health center, and guess what? They said I have pre-diabetes since my glucose level was 188 mg/dl. They told me that's the first step towards diabetes and that, if I didn't make some serious changes, I would end up just like my mom. I am not sure why but, it made me nervous.’ (Judy takes a deep breath and then tells the nutritionist) “So, I guess we both need to change some things when it comes to eating and exercising. Trouble is, I don't really know where to start." Due to the pandemic, they stay home and are mostly eating canned or frozen foods. Judy primarily cooks pasta with some meat and occasionally a vegetable or two. For breakfast they typically eat boxed cereals with cold milk. They also both enjoy eating their favorite dessert while watching TV. Since the pandemic began, neither Judy nor Hannah leaves the house often. Judy works from home on the computer all day and Hannah attends high school through distanced learning. How would you explain the connection between Hannah’s pre-diabetes with her diabetic mom Judy? What are some of pre-diabetic symptoms Hannah should be aware of so that she can alert a physician concerning diabetes? What are Judy’s risk factors for type two diabetes? Given what you know about Judy's and Hannah's lifestyle, can you think of changes both mother and daughter could make to start addressing their dietary and physical activity needs? Answer all questions in approximately 150 words, explain and justify your answer. Use correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar. You must write a thoughtful response to two other students posting.
