Ozdemir's problems are not entirely physical in nature. Her loneliness and isolation in a country in which she has limited command over English have caused her to pour her energies into cooking traditional, heavy meals for her family and using overeating as a coping mechanism.

Reviewing home meter reading, glucose monitoring, and appropriate methods of self-care should be a regular part of diabetic treatment in a hospital. A nurse specialized in diabetes monitoring is the ideal teacher, although other trained healthcare providers can be used.
