Chapter 5, Problem 7RQ
Summary Introduction
To examine: Whether the statement “It is recommended that women with diabetes gain 5 lb (2.3 kg) less during pregnancy than the IOM-recommended, lower limit of their weight gain range bases on pre-pregnancy BMI” is true or false.
Introduction: Pregnancy complications are health problems that arise during pregnancy. Pregnancy complications like pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), eclampsia, and gestational diabetes are associated with several risks for pregnant women as well as the child before and after birth. These conditions usually resolve after birth of the baby.

- Alexandra Gonzalez is a 28-YO ski instructor. She suffered multiple fractures, which included a broken pelvis leaving her immobile. Activity Level = 1.0. She measured 5’4 and weighted 141# when she was admitted 1-week ago, but has lost 15# since her arrival. She is diabetic and requires the use of antidiabetic drugs (Metformin) and injectable insulin. She has stated she has had low appetite since the accident and follows a strict CHO counting diet. MD has issued orders for a nasoduodenal tube feeding and will receive all oral medication via tube. Describe the precautions that should be taken since Ms. Gonzalez receives medications through the feeding tube. After 24-hours of feeding, Ms. Gonzalez develops diarrhea.

- A 5-year-old boy is brought to the pediatrician's office for an annual visit. The mother reports he has been a sickly infant and often appears drowsy. She also has concerns over her son's persistent thirst and frequent urination. Blood samples are taken for insulin measurements at time zero and 1 hour after a glucose loading test. The results of this testing are illustrated in the table below: Baseline blood sample Control Serum insulin levels (mU/L) Patient 0.8 6 +/- 2 1 hour after glucose load Patient 5 Control 40 +/- 11 1. What is this information likely to suggest about the underlying biochemical basis for the patient symptoms? 2. What would you predict the patients' fasted blood glucose levels to be given his current condition? (e.g. above normal range; within the normal range; below the normal range) 3. Based on this diagnosis, what 2 regulatory enzymes are likely to be active in this individuals' current condition.

- CASE #1 Alicia is 48 year old female of 76 kilograms and height of 161.5 centimetres. Although she attempted reduced weight, but she has gained instead 11.4 kilograms in the previous months. She also sleeps for 14-16 hours a day. Her movements were slothful, and she has slight enlargement of the neck area, coarse textured hair and dry skin. When her blood sample was analyzed it showed that the hormone T4 (thyroxin) levels were 3.2 micrograms/millilitre which is lower than the normal range, 4.2-11.2 micrograms/millilitre. In addition to this her TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) levels were high. In a power point presentation, per slide: 1. Determine the diagnosis for this case. 2. List signs and symptoms. 3.
