Carole Lunde is a 44-year-older woman of milxed Native American and European descent and a new mother. She has recently
been dlagnosed with dlabetes, which she was first dlagnosed with at 30 weeks of pregnancy. After belng told by her OB/GYN that
gestational diabetes should dear up after childbirth, She is concerned that she has not recovered due to continued elevated blood
glucose (BG). Carole’s BG has been over 200 postprandlal and 150-200 fasting.

After Carole was dlagnosed with gestational dlabetes, her doctor suggested she begin Insulin to reduce her BG. After consulting
with tribal leaders that Insulin was not a good thing due to being created with animal hormones, she declined treatment. Carole
refused therapy after it was revealed to her Insulin was a synthetic hormone because she did not want to become dependent on It.
Carole reports that her daughter Kassandra was born big but healthy despite elevated blood glucose during pregnancy.

Currently, Carole Iives off of the reservation with her ten-week-old daughter post-e-section. She Independently cares for her
daughter, does freelance work, and has no other financial assistance or support. During the Initlal postpartum perlod, Carole’s
mother helped her care for her Iliness and newbom. Her mother has since returned to the reservation. Between caring for her
daughter and working, her health is the least important in her lfe; however, she worrles about her daughter developing Dlabetes
Il. Even though Carole has not cared for herself, she ls open and receptive to learning more about diabetes to lower Kassandra’s
risk of contracting It.
