Provide a possible diagnosis for the following endocrinology related case. During the term break, one of your aunties’ come to stay with your family at the city. She is a 55 year old, married woman who works as a civil clerk of the Regional Trial Court of their province. Her main agenda is to consult a doctor or two for the various health issues she currently has. She has many signs and symptoms. She drinks water too much because she is always thirsty, and urinates too often. She also eats more frequently that she used to. But by looking at her, she seems to be pretty slim. You wouldn’t really believe she eats too frequently unless you saw her regularly. Now that she is staying with you, you observe that she has a very sedentary lifestyle, plus yes, she does eat many times in a day. Since you have been close to her from childhood, you agreed to share your room with her. You are a light sleeper, and this made you realize that she wakes up at least 3x every night just to urinate. She also gets tired easily. In addition to that, you see her dressing a wound on her left lower leg twice daily. Upon asking, she tells you that it has been there for around three weeks already. She is actually surprised why it hasn’t healed as much it should have, given that it was quite a superficial cut.
