Case Study
Jason is a 53-year-old telecommunications con¬sultant living in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia. He is self-employed and travels about 30% of the time. He was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes three and half years ago, but admits that he exhibited all of the signs of being pre-diabetic for much of his adult life. He weighs 260 pounds, which is heavy for his thin-boned 6’1” frame. In addition to diabetes, he is being treated for hypertension, a hereditary condition that both of his parents exhibited. When traveling and even when living at home he has a difficult time complying with any kind of meal plan and until he started using the MyGluco¬Health meter he says he was only testing every day or so. At first he was in denial about his diabetes, until his doctor began threatening to put him on insulin if his HbA1c didn’t go down.
Jason truly believes he’s an active person, yet his formal exercise routine is limited. He bikes on weekends when the weather is good and plays golf 2-3 times a month, but hardly ever visits the gym or works out in his home gym. He’s asked for help and support from his wife, but then does not appreciate it when she tries to monitor his food or make suggestions. – Read More
