BACKGROUND (PRESENT HISTORY):

Answer the relevant questions only when prompted by students

Diabetes was discovered in your early teenage when you passed much urine with excess thirst. You shortly felt extremely unwell with decreased consciousness and were admitted to hospital and received intravenous fluid and insulin. You were discharged after few days, on insulin shots twice daily before meals

You were advised to change the way of your life. You had to give up eating ice cream and chocolate also your family had to change their dietary habits to encourage you.

Now you are on Mixtard 100 IU using pen (which is better than syringe punctures) with dose 25 unites before breakfast and 15 before dinner.

You used to check your blood glucose at home; it usually ranges from 160-180 mg\dl

Sometimes you had palpitation, sweating and headache that may mean hypoglycemia, but you never had coma, which were relieved by sweets or sugary drinks

You have numbness and tingling in your feet

You had eye examination and urine analysis that were normal

the once stated above.

If asked on anything not mentioned in the above scenario give a negative , neutral answer or

simply “I do not remember”

After ~ 6 minutes of the beginning, insist to ask the student as many questions as possible on:

Doctor, do you think I will have the silly complications of diabetes like amputations,

loss of vision and kidney failure?

How can I avoid the current acute problem in the future

Thank the student

STANDARDISATION ISSUES

perform the same role on different sites. All aspects of the script have been inserted for good

reasons. Please do not divert from the script. If confronted with questions outside the script, try to be

neutral or negative in your answer but be consistent with all the students. If there is any query of

uncertainty, please take the advice of the examiner on your station before meeting the students.
