Diabetes-Case-Mr. Aaron

Mr. Aaron from Singapore

Age：57 years old

Nationality： Singapore

Diagnosis：Diabetes

Admission Date：May 2015

Background

In April 2015, the patient had symptoms of dry mouth, polydipsia, polyuria, and polyphagia without precipitating factor. He didn't pay much attention until 1 month later, above symptoms were still existing and deteriorated. His water intake reached to 3000ml, and he got fatigue much easier than before. He came to General Hospital of Chinese People’s Armed Police Forces for treatment in May. His main medical examinations show: Fasting glucose 16.48mmol/L, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose 28.16 mmol/L; urine: urine sugar (+), ketones (-), glycosylated hemoglobin 9.0%.

Pre-Treatment Condition（Before Stem Cell Treatment）

1. Key Symptoms:
- Severe unquenchable thirst (polydipsia) with unintentional weight loss.
2. Abnormal Lab Results:
- Elevated fasting blood glucose (15.6 mmol/L) and glycated hemoglobin (10.6%), indicating poorly controlled diabetes.
3. Functional Impact:
- Debilitating fatigue impairing daily activities (e.g., walking, climbing stairs) and mental well-being.

Treatment Plan

One course of stem cell therapy
Surgical method: Interventional therapy + intravenous injection
Efficacy monitoring plan over 6 to 12 months post-treatment

After the First Course ofTreatment (6 months)

1. Symptom Resolution:
- Resolved dry mouth, polydipsia, polyuria, and polyphagia.
2. Weight & Well-being:
- Gained 3 kg with stabilized metabolism; improved physical/mental energy for daily activities.
3. Glucose Control:
- Fasting blood glucose: 5–8 mmol/L; postprandial glucose: 8–11 mmol/L.
- Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c): 6.5% (target range); urine glucose negative.

Symptom	Improvement
Severe polydipsia, unintentional weight loss.	Resolved polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia; no dry mouth.
Weight loss; unstable metabolism.	Gained 3 kg; stabilized metabolism; improved energy.
Fasting: 15.6 mmol/L; HbA1c: 10.6% (uncontrolled).	Fasting: 5–8 mmol/L; postprandial: 8–11 mmol/L; HbA1c: 6.5% (controlled).
Debilitating fatigue limiting daily activities.	Restored physical/mental energy for daily tasks.
Not documented.	Urine Glucose:Negative (normalized).

Progress Summary & Future Outlook

The patient's current progress is highly encouraging, laying a solid foundation for a promising future. With symptoms alleviated and blood sugar well-controlled, they can look forward to a more active lifestyle. The improved physical and mental state allows for regular exercise, like jogging or cycling, which will further boost health. As time goes on, continued proper management might even lead to better long - term blood sugar stability, potentially reducing the risk of diabetes - related complications. They'll likely integrate fully into social and work life, enjoying a life free from the prior limitations and worries brought on by the illness.
