At review in clinic, she reported continuing episodes of severe hypoglycaemia without warning symptoms despite regular monitoring and advice from her insulin pump nurse specialist.
On examination, her blood pressure was 134/80 mmHg and fundoscopy revealed moderate background diabetic retinopathy. Examination of the feet revealed strong, palpable pedal pulses and early evidence of sensory neuropathy.

Investigations:
-estimated glomerular filtration rate (MDRD)24 mL/min/1.73 m2 (>60) haemoglobin A1c56 mmol/mol (20–42)
-24-h urinary total protein2.3 g (<0.2)

i just took my oracle exam and let me tell you, this exam dumps was a lifesaver! without them, iam not sure i would have passed. the questions were tricky and the answers were obscure, but the exam dumps had everything i needed. i would recommend to anyone looking to pass their oracle exams with flying colors (and a little bit of cheating) lol.
