Assignment

Mitch was a hard working college student studying to become a nurse. He also worked a full time job, as did his wife. He and his wife had recently welcomed a brand new baby girl to their family. Needless to say, with both parents working, Mitch attending classes, and the new baby needing their attention, meal time was hit and miss and often involved throwing something into the microwave to heat.

As part of his nursing program, Mitch was required to see his physician for a physical and some much needed vaccinations.

"Hi Mitch, how are you getting along", asked Dr. Vasudevan.

"I'm doing well Dr. V. My wife and I have a new baby girl and we couldn't be happier. Sleep is a luxury right now and I am a bit tired as a result. Otherwise, all is good" Mitch replied.

"We'll do your yearly blood work to make sure that you are in top notch condition and get you those vaccinations that you need. The blood work will be back in a few days and I'll give you a call with the results. Have you been fasting today?", asked Dr. V.

"Yes, all I've had is some black coffee this morning. I figured you'd want to do some blood work and wanted to be prepared so I didn't have to come back", said Mitch.

A few days later Mitch received a phone call from his physician.

"Hi Dr. V. How did the blood work come out" asked Mitch?

"Well there are a few test that are concerning. You're hemoglobin A1C, glucose, and triglyceride levels are high" said Dr. V. "I need you to start watching what you eat, cut down on the carbohydrates, and watch those saturated fats. We will recheck your levels in three months."
