Examination and Laboratory Studies
The doctor ordered a urinalysis to rule out UTI and Candiduria due to dysuria. The urinalysis results were normal with the exception of the high level of glucose in his urine which is a common occurrence in diabetics with an infection. Therefore, a fast glucose level was ordered and the reading was 130 which is high. A culture of the purulent drainage was done by a sub-preputial swab to exclude or confirm a fungal infection; the results revealed
“Diabetes is a silent killer” (Demille 2005, p.5). It is a metabolic disorder that can result in impaired quality of life and serious complications. This study aims to understand the case of Mr. Skyler Hanson who is newly diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 that leads to diabetic ketoacidosis which was confirmed by the presence of moderate to high ketones in the urine and a high blood glucose level. It was noted that he has a history of fatigue, headache, abdominal pain, nausea and frequent urination. Furthermore, it was disclosed that he has difficulty in adjusting to his diagnosis and he occasionally missed administration of insulin dose when socialising. Subsequently, he was admitted in the Critical Care Unit for rehydration,

For this myocardial infarction, the right coronary artery was blocked. The parts of the heart that were affected by this blockage was the right atrium, the right ventricle, the interventricular septum, the Sinoatrial node and the AV node, and some parts of the left atrium and ventricle. These parts were affected because the right coronary artery supplies blood to these parts of the heart; since there was a blockage the blood was not able to continue through the right coronary arteries into its branches, which are the sinoatrial nodal artery, the right marginal branch, the posterior interventricular branch, and the atrioventricular nodal artery (Gest).
Notes: the data suggest that the pre-females had a higher survival rate at a younger age as the post 1900 stayed constant. But has the pre1900 female survivorship declined the post 1950s increased.
MR. Anthony David is a resigned 69-year-old man with a 5-year history of sort 2 diabetes. He is resigned from an administration office. In spite of the fact that he was analyzed in 1997, he had side effects showing hyperglycemia for a long time before determination. He had fasting blood glucose records demonstrating estimations of 118–127 mg/dl, which were portrayed to him as characteristic of "marginal diabetes." He additionally recalled past scenes of nocturia connected with substantial pasta suppers and Italian baked goods. At the season of starting determination, he was encouraged to get more fit ("no less than 10 lb."); however no further move was made.

It will also explain the pathology of a type 1 diabetic, the acute pathophysiology of the hyperglycaemic event and why it should be presented as an acute
