Case study

Ellen is a 16 year old diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 7. She has always had issues with control of her diabetes but his has worsened over the past 2-3 years. She was recently hospitalized for diabetic acidosis when her blood sugars were in the 500 range. She has been admitted on an inpatient status for this issue 3 times over the past 3 years. Her medical team is very concerned about these issues and what it means for her future health. They were so concerned during the last admission that at a team meeting with Ellen and her mother, they stated that her mother needed to be involved in Ellen’s management of the diabetes. If this did not happen, the next step would be to file a 51 A with the possibility of having Ellen placed in foster care. At this point Ellen is very aware of how to manage all aspects of her care including diet. She resents the fact that her mother is now trying to be involved in this and often neglects to test her blood sugars. She adjusts her insulin herself depending on what she plans in terms of going out or her diet. Since this last hospitalization Ellen has been “acting out” in other ways. Ellen’s history is remarkable for depression. She has had one episode when she overdosed on Aspirin and did have to go to the Emergency room for this. Ellen’s family consists of 2 sisters and one younger brother. While her family is very concerned about Ellen, they feel that much of the tension in the family is related to Ellen’s health issuesand there is a lot of pressure on Ellen to “shape up”. Her mom is very anxious about the DSS involvement knowing that the more she tries to work with Ellen on controlling her diabetes the more noncompliant she becomes. Ellen is an above average student in school. She has a positive relationship with one of the guidance counselors. The school nurse is aware of the situation and there are 3 other Type 1 diabetics in the high school. Ellen says they are “goodie two shoes” and avoids meetings and group sessions that the school nurse has arranged. She currently has a new group of friends and has refused to tell them that she is a diabetic. Her mother would like to let them know in case of an emergency. If this happens, Ellen has threatened to leave and has at times stayed out all night. Ellen’s parents are both in the home. Her dad tries to avoid the issues and has not participated in counseling or family group therapy. Ellen herself has seen a psychologist for about 3 months although sporadically. Current concerns revolve around Ellen’s non-compliance and the threat this poses for complications from diabetes. During the last visit, Ellen states that she is worried about gaining weight as well.
