RELATÓRIO DE ESTÁGIO SUPERVISIONADO - UMA ALTERNATIVA PARA MONITORAÇÃO GLICÊMICA SERIADA NO PACIENTE DIABÉTICO: RELATO DE CASO

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is an endocrine disorder characterized by an increase in blood glucose. In order to avoid serious complications caused by the disease, it is recommended to carry out continuous blood glucose monitoring in the patient, since the incorrect treatment with insulin can cause hypoglycemia and transient hyperglycemia. The objective is to detail the use and demonstrate the effectiveness of continuous glucose monitoring via interstitial for the clinical control of the diabetic patient. To this end, we report a case of a canine, male, Malts breed, nine years old and 3.2 kg, who was diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus. After diagnosis, as a facilitating and guaranteeing measure for obtaining glycemic monitoring of the patient, the device for continuous monitoring of interstitial glucose, called Freestyle Libre®, was implanted. It is concluded that the method of continuous monitoring of interstitial glucose using the Freestyle Libre® device, presents excellent adhesion by the owners, guarantees the obtaining of glycemic curves, facilitates the therapeutic management with insulin, in order to resolve episodes of hypoglycemia or transient hyperglycemia, in addition to inducing minimal distress to the animal.
