Diabetic Case Study and MySugr Application

Chelsea’s Diabetic Case Study

David is concerned about his eating habits since most of his meals are often junky. In this scenario, being diabetic, Mr. David is apprehensive because he does not exhibit any seamless adherence to such diabetes self-care practices as blood glucose monitoring, carbohydrate intake, nutritional diets, and regular doctor’s visits (Ramchandani, 2019).
To reduce the health risks associated with poor nutritional diets, high carbohydrate intake, and lack of close monitoring of glucose levels, David should have access to dependable app reminders and quality tools to devise a more positive regime for his Type 2 diabetes management.
