Assessment Primary Diagnosis: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (E11) Pathophysiology: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder, which occurs when the body does not utilize insulin properly (ADA, 2019). The pancreas will try to overcompensate by making more insulin in efforts to get glucose into cells, but over time the pancreas can not keep up, leading to an excess amount of sugar in the blood (ADA, 2019). Classic signs and symptoms include the following: polydipsia, polyuria, and polyphagia (ADA, 2019).
