Diagnosis
Primary Diagnosis:
Diabetes Mellitus Type II with Diabetic Polyneuropathy ICD-
10: E11.42
Symptoms of diabetes mellitus are those of hyperglycemia. The
mild hyperglycemia of early DM is in most of the cases
asymptomatic, delaying the diagnosis of the disease for many
years. Significant hyperglycemia causes glycosuria that leads
to urinary frequency, polyuria, and polydipsia that may progress
to orthostatic hypotension and dehydration. Severe patient
dehydration makes the patient feel weak, fatigue and even could
show symptoms of mental status changes. Disease’s symptoms
could come and go as plasma glucose levels fluctuate.
Polyphagia may accompany hyperglycemia, but, is not typically
the main patient concern. Hyperglycemia is also a possible
cause of weight loss, nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision.
Hyperglycemia could also predispose the patients to infection
9. such as bacterial or fungal. The disease is usually diagnosed by
typical symptoms and signs and confirmed by measurement of
plasma glucose. Measurement after eight to twelve hours fast
(FPG) or two after ingestion of a concentrated glucose solution.
OGTT is more sensitive for diagnosing DM and impaired
glucose tolerance, but, is less convenient and reproducible than
FPG. It is rarely used routinely, except for diagnosing
gestational diabetes and for research purposes as well.
Differential Diagnoses-:
Hansen's Disease (Leprosy) ICD-10 A30.9: Patient can
complain of numbness of affected areas of the skin. Also,
muscle weakness or paralysis, especially in the hands and feet
could be found. Enlarged nerves could be present as well.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) ICD-10 I73.9: The most
common symptoms of PAD involving the lower extremities are
cramping, pain or tiredness in the leg or hip muscles while
walking or climbing stairs. Typically, this pain goes away with
rest and returns when you walk again.
Venous Insufficiency ICD-10I87.2 When your veins have
trouble sending blood from your limbs back to the heart, it’s
known as venous insufficiency. In this condition, blood doesn’t
flow back properly to the heart, causing blood to pool in the
veins in your legs. Symptoms of venous insufficiency include:
swelling of the legs or ankles, weak legs, aching, pain that gets
worse when you stand and gets better when you raise your legs
Heart Failure Unspecified ICD-10 I50.9- Reflected with
swelling to lower extremities, weakness and shortness of breath
in exertion.
A/P
1. Diabetes mellitus, type 2, insulin-dependent, obesity and
polyneuropathy: Will request blood sugar log to monitor blood
sugar level for any adjustment needed in the medication, also
we will continue with the Toujeo. We will continue monitoring
also the hemoglobin A1c for any adjustment needed in the
10. treatment. Oriented the patient to do the foot care to prevent
any skin lesion because of the high risk. Also, we will continue
with oral medication that she had before which is metformin and
Glipizide. We will continue with NCS diet. Encourage portion
control. Will add Gabapentin 300 mg capsule SIG: give 1
capsule (300 mg) by oral route 3 times per day
2. Health maintenance. We discuss treatment with patient. We
will continue monitoring the chronic disease, lab work to
prevent any progression of her disease. We will continue
monitoring the patient compliance with the medications,
especially with the insulin administration. We will continue
monitoring the patient's behavior. We will continue instructing
the patient on fall precaution, how to prevent falls. We will
continue with no-concentrated-sugar, low-sodium, low-fat, low-
cholesterol diet. Will request patient to bring blood sugar log
and b/p and weekly weight reading to next visit (in 2 weeks).
Educated about smoking cessation .
3. Hypertension, coronary artery disease, hyperlipidemia. -
Will continue with current treatment. Will continue using
Cardiology as needed for consultation. We will continue
providing the patient with Lisinopril, metoprolol and
amlodipine and also low sodium diet. So, we will continue
monitoring the patient's lipid panel for any adjustment needed
in the medications in the meantime. We are going to continue
Lipitor 20 mg orally daily for the patient due to the cholesterol
is normal and LFT is WNLs. Low sodium, fat/cholesterol diet.
4. Schizoaffective disorder with major depression: We will
continue current treatment that patient has. We will order psych
evaluation to obtain a base line of the diseases. We will
continue monitoring patient behavior for any adjustment needed
in medication. We will continue monitoring Depakote level,
even when this medication is used as mood stabilizer, just to
11. prevent high dose. We will continue benztropine top prevent
side effects of other antipsychotics.
5. EKG, Echocardiogram, ABI and Chest X- ray and Labs – To
evaluate Heart function and rhythm- ejection fraction- vascular
disease, electrolytes imbalance or deficiencies and check lungs.
