This animation follows a patient and her physician during a visit in which the doctor diagnoses her with Type 2 diabetes. In this hypothetical case study, a 45-year-old obese woman visits her primary care physician complaining of thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, and a chronic yeast infection. After obtaining the patient's medical and family history, her doctor suspects type 2 diabetes and performs the necessary tests to confirm the diagnosis. He then outlines her treatment options so that she may return to her everyday activities.
