Identify at least three subjective findings from the case that support the chosen diagnosis.

Subjective findings include chief complaint, history of presenting illness, past medical history, family history, social history, allergies, medications, and review of systems. Type 2 diabetes mellitus mostly begins in adulthood, while type 1 diabetes mellitus begins in childhood (Syed, 2022). The patient is a 48-year-old adult newly diagnosed with diabetes; therefore, the diabetes diagnosis is type 1 diabetes mellitus. Patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes usually have the classic symptoms of weight loss, polyuria, polyphagia, and polydipsia. Other signs and symptoms include blurred vision, yeast infection, and paraesthesias in the lower extremities (Goyal & Jialal, 2022). J.T.’s chief complaints include increased appetite, extreme thirst (polydipsia), fatigue, and weight loss, which are signs and symptoms of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Risk factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus seen in J.T. include hypertension, family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus in a first-degree relative, age above 45 years, and weight 120% more than the desired body weight (Goyal & Jialal, 2022). J.T. is obese; therefore, his weight is more than the desired body weight. His brother, a first-degree relative, is a known type 2 diabetes mellitus patient. J.T. is a 48-year-old known hypertensive, increasing his risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus.
