Case Abstract
Gestational diabetes is an increase in blood glucose level during pregnancy. It is called gestational because the first onset of diabetes occurs during pregnancy and usually disappears right after delivery. Approximately 2% to 3% of all the women who do not begin a pregnancy with diabetes become diabetic during pregnancy, usually at the midpoint of pregnancy when insulin resistance becomes most noticeable. The symptoms fade again at the completion of pregnancy, but the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life may be as high as 50% to 60%. Risk factors for gestational diabetes include: Obesity, age over 35 years old, history of large babies (10 lb. or more), history of unexplained fetal or perinatal loss, history of congenital anomalies in previous pregnancies, history of polycystic ovary syndrome, and family history of diabetes.
The patient (JB) was diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus secondary to cephalopelvic disproportion. . She is 39 years old with an obstetric history of G4 P3. She has a repeat caesarean case and gave birth to a child that has a birth weight of 3,620g. Shes 59 cm tall and weight 62 kg. She complained that she urinates frequently, she often thirsts, and she has edema in her extremities and experience blurring of vision. Her lifestyles while shes pregnant were one of the factors that caused her to have GDM. She stated that she doesnt want to do some exercises because she thought that it may harm her child in her womb. She also eats a lot aside from the heavy meals especially chocolates and she woke up often times late at night only just to eat. On July 25, 2012 her blood sugar level is 149mg/dL. Her caesarian operation is scheduled on the 31th of July but upon her prenatal check up on the 25th the obygyne found out that the baby is in 2cm already, so her caesarian operation was moved on that day
As a health care providers, we taught her some additional wound care practices to prevent any infection to her wound, we advised her to take a bath at least 2 to 3 times a day, proper hand washing, and some of a self-care practices. We advised her to decrease her rice intake and sweet foods or any food that is not healthy for her. We also advised her to eat more vegetables and fruits rather than eating processed foods and if possible, if she has time, we advised her to do some simple exercise or routine for her to lose weight. And we told her that if and only if her GDM will lead to her to have a type 2 diabetes mellitus, she ought to consult her doctor.

g. Environmental History
The client, along with her husband and three daughters, live in a four storey apartment in Pasay City. She described their apartment as strong and sturdy. It is made of concrete and it can withstand mild to moderate earthquakes. The family privately occupies the ground floor with an estimated floor area of 100 square feet. It has an entrance door, a window and one bathroom. The client claimed that they have good drainage system in their area wherein the canal is underground. There is no presence of stagnant water outside the house that could potentially be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. In addition, they do not experience flooding in their area. The family does not practice waste segregation; however, the household garbage is regularly collected by the local government. The water source of the house is from NAWASA which is safe to use in preventing waterborne diseases such as amoebiasis. The apartment is located in a congested urban area near the airport. It is not located beside the main road. Therefore, the family is less exposed to air and noise pollution from traffic vehicles. Behind the apartment is a squatters area. The barangay hall and the barangay clinic are three blocks away from their home. The client stated that their neighborhood is safe and that they can walk freely outside the house.

Human endocrine system: is composed of endocrine glands, which are ductless glands secreting chemical signals into the circulatory system. In contrast, exocrine glands have ducts that carry their secretions to surfaces. It produces chemical signals within the glands that influence tissues separated from the glands by some distance. Both the endocrine and the nervous system regulate the activities of structures in the body, but they do so in different ways. The hormones secreted by most endocrine glands can be described as amplitude-modulated signals, which consist mainly of increases or decreases in the concentration of hormones in the body fluids. The all-or-none action potentials carried along axons can be described as frequency-modulated signals, which vary in frequency but not in amplitude. A low frequency of action potentials is a weak stimulus, whereas a high frequency of action potentials is a stronger stimulus. The hypothalamus: 1. The hypothalamus is located in the forebrain, directly above the pituitary gland. The hypothalamus receives input from other parts of the brain and from peripheral nerves. This input affects neurosecretory cells within the hypothalamus. 2. Major sites where the nervous and endocrine systems interact; regulates the secretory activity of the pituitary gland.
The pituitary gland: 1. The anterior pituitary synthesizes its own hormones. Capillaries within the anterior pituitary receive signals from the hypothalamus that tell the anterior pituitary whether or not to release certain hormones. 2. Secretes nine major hormones that regulate numerous body functions and the secretory activity of several other endocrine glands. a) Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) -in the posterior pituitary gland -increased water reabsorption (less water is lost in the form of urine) b) Oxytocin -in the posterior pituitary gland -increased uterine contractions; increased milk expulsion from mammary glands; unclear function in males c) Growth hormones (GH) -in the anterior pituitary gland -increased growth in tissues; increased amino acid uptake and protein synthesis; increased breakdown of lipids and release of fatty acids from cells; increased glycogen synthesis and increased blood glucose levels; increased somatomedin production. d) Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) -increased thyroid hormone secretion e) Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) -increased glucocorticoid hormone secretion f) Melanocytes-stimulating hormone (MSH) -increased melanin production in melanocytes to make the skin darker in color g) Luteinizing hormone (LH) - Ovulation and progesterone production in ovaries; testosterone synthesis and support for sperm cell production in testes h) Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) -follicle maturation and estrogen secretion in ovaries; sperm cell production in testes. i) Prolactin -milk production in lactating women; increased response of follicle of LH and FSH; unclear function in males
The thyroid gland: One of the largest endocrine glands, with a weight of approximately 20g. it is highly vascular and appears more red than its surrounding tissues. The adrenal gland: The adrenal glands are located on top of the kidneys. Each gland is subdivided into an outer adrenal cortex and an inner adrenal medulla. The pancreas: The pancreas is both an endocrine organ and an exocrine organ. The exocrine portion of the pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the pancreatic duct. The endocrine portion of the pancreas secretes hormones, including insulin and glucagon. The testes: The testes are responsible for the synthesis and secretion of androgens, such as testosterone. Interstitial cells, located between the seminiferous tubules of the testes, produce androgens.
The ovaries: The ovaries produce and secrete steroid hormones known as estrogens and progesterone.
Fallopian tube The Fallopian tubes are paired, tubular, seromuscular organs whose course runs medially from the cornua of the uterus toward the ovary laterally. The tubes are situated in the upper margins of the broad ligaments between the round and utero ovarian ligaments. Each tube is about 10 cm long with variations in length from 7 to 14 cm. The abdominal ostium is situated at the base of a funnel-shaped expansion of the tube, the infundibulum, the circumference of which is enhanced by irregular processes called fimbriae. The ovarian fimbria is longer and more deeply grooved than the others and is closely applied to the tubal pole of the ovary. Passing medially, the infundibulum opens into the thin-walled ampulla forming more than half the length of the tube and 1 or 2 cm in outer diameter; it is succeeded by the isthmus, a round and cord-like structure constituting the medial one-third of the tube and 0.5-1 cm in outer diameter. The interstitial or conual portion of the tube continues from the isthmus through the uterine wall to empty into the uterine cavity. This segment of the tube is about 1 cm in length and 1 mm in inner diameter. The tubal wall consists of three layers: the internal mucosa (endosalpinx), the intermediate muscular layer (myosalpinx), and the outer serosa, which is continuous with the peritoneum of the broad ligament and uterus, the upper margin of which is the mesosalpinx. The endosalpinx is thrown into longitudinal folds, called primary folds, increasing in number toward the fimbria and lined by columnar epithelium of three types: ciliated, secretory, and peg cells. In the ampullary and infundibular sections, secondary folds of the tubal mucosa also exist, markedly increasing the surface areas of these segments of the tube. The myosalpinx actually consists of an inner circular and an outer longitudinal layer to which a third layer is added in the interstitial portion of the tube.The serosa of the tube is composed of an epithelial layer histologically indistinguishable from peritoneum elsewhere in the abdominal cavity. The tubes act as ducts for sperm, oocyte, and fertilized ovum transport, in addition to being the normal site of fertilization. These functions depend mainly on three factors: tubal motility, tubal cilia, and tubal fluid.
Pelvic bone
The skeleton of the pelvis is a basin-shaped ring of bones connecting the vertebral column to the femora. Its primary functions are to bear the weight of the upper body when sitting and standing; transfer that weight from the axial skeleton to the lower appendicular skeleton when standing and walking; and provide attachments for and withstand the forces of the powerful muscles of locomotion and posture. Compared to the shoulder girdle, the pelvic girdle is thus strong and rigid. Its secondary functions are to contain and protect the pelvic and abdominopelvic viscera (inferior parts of the urinary tracts, internal reproductive organs); provide attachment for external reproductive organs and associated muscles and membranes. gynecoid pelvis a type of pelvis characteristic of the normal female and associated with the smallest incidence of fetopelvic disproportion. The inlet is nearly round, the sacrum is parallel to the posterior aspect of the symphysis pubis, the sidewalls are straight, and the ischial spines are blunt and do not encroach on the space in the true pelvis. It is the ideal pelvic type for childbirth. Also spelled gynaecoid pelvis.

For the client to have a fundamental understanding of the importance of diet and exercise
Choose food wisely: eat healthy foods low in fat and high in fiber. It is essential to eat fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. Exercise: start an exercise routine before becoming pregnant and continue it throughout the pregnancy (with doctor approval). Most health professionals recommend at least 30 minutes of moderate activity five days a week. Women who have had gestational diabetes previously are at risk for developing it in subsequent pregnancies. Making healthy choices and incorporating them into your lifestyle can lower the risk of diabetes in future pregnancies and later in life.
