I. INTRODUCTION
Gestational Diabetes is a type of diabetes mellitus or increase sugar in the blood that only
occurs in pregnant women. The prevalence of gestational diabetes is approximately 2% to 3% of
all women who do not begin a pregnancy with diabetes become diabetic. Usually at the midpoint
of pregnancy when insulin resistance becomes most noticeable, termed Gestational Diabetes
Mellitus (GDM). The symptoms will fade again at the completion of pregnancy, but the risk of
developing insulin dependent response to carbohydrate or from excessive resistance to insulin.
Before insulin was produce synthetically in 1921, women with Diabetes either failed to survive
pregnancy. Risk factors for Gestational Diabetes include obesity, Age over 35 years old, history
of large babies 10lb or more, history of unexplained fetal loss, history of congenital anomalies in
previous pregnancies, history of unexplained prenatal loss, family of diabetes.
Our patient is 35 years old, her name is Mrs. D.C. residing at Tondo Manila, Shes living

medical consultation.
Interventions and care plan for the client, monitor vital signs, blood sugar and schedule and
cluster nursing time and interventions. Keep patients routine as consistent as possible, encourage
participation in activities of daily living.

OBJECTIVES
A. General
This case study was conducted to enhance our knowledge and develop our skills on how to
provide best possible care to a patient with condition like gestational diabetes.
B. Specific

To be able to know our responsibilities such as promoting health, prevent further harm or
illness, as well as restoration of health according to the extent of our knowledge and

skills.
To gain knowledge about Gestational Diabetes
To discuss the pathophysiology, anatomy and physiology, signs and symptoms.
To familiarize ourselves the different treatment modalities of Gestational Diabetes.

II. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK:

Sister Callista Roy (Adaptation model)

ENVIRONMENT
Roy viewed environment as conditions, circumstances and influences that surround and effect
the development and behavior of the person. She described stressors as stimuli and uses the term
residual stimuli to describes those stressors whose influences on the person are not clear. Three
kinds of stimuli are the focal, contextual, and residual. Significant stimuli in all human
adaptation include stages of development, family, and culture.

HEALTH
Originally, Roy wrote the health and illness are on a continuum with many different states or
degrees possible. More recently, she states that health is the process of being and becoming an
integrated and whole person. Adaptation is defined as the process and outcome whereby thinking
and feeling, as individuals and in groups, use conscious awareness and choice to create human
and environmental integration.
