Reference no: EM133380825

Case Study: a 42-year-old woman with no significant medical history, has just finished her annual medical appointment. Her doctor told her that her hemoglobin A1c is slightly elevated, putting her in the range for prediabetes.

Her doctor said if she loses 5-10% of her current weight and makes better food choices, her A1c should go down and this will decrease her risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future.

Juanita stops by your office (an assistant nutrition educator) to get more information.
