Activity
Tutorial
Claire McFadden is a 16- year-old high school student, living with T1D since age 10, who is currently pregnant (G1). Claire has struggled with her diabetes management in the past but is trying to keep her sugars at target now that she knows she is pregnant. Her most recent HbA1C was 7.8%, and she is using an insulin pump. Claire is being followed concurrently by her endocrinologist and has had microalbuminuria and mild non-proliferative retinopathy but no other diabetic complications. She has been normotensive with a usual BP of 110/70. She was told to start prenatal vitamins with extra folate as well as to discontinue her ACE inhibitor when her pregnancy test was found to be positive. Claire was also started on low-dose ASA (LDASA) at 12 weeks. Her partner, Dave, is 18 years old and is unemployed, having graduated high school in the summer. Claire is living with Dave in her aunt’s apartment. Her pregnancy was unplanned, but she is now excited to become a mother. She is planning to take a year off from high school and then return to complete her high school diploma. Dave is unhappy about this and feels she should stay at home to take care of the baby. They have argued about this, and Dave feels it is Claire’s own fault if she does not like making sacrifices as she could have gotten an abortion like he wanted. Claire worries about Dave’s temper, explaining that when he found out she was pregnant, he yelled at her and then disappeared for a week. She thinks he will come around once the baby is born.
