Isla and her healthcare provider discussed a treatment plan to keep Isla’s risk for cardiovascular disease low. They also agreed on what contraception option is most suitable for Isla at this point in time.
Isla agrees to make changes to her diet by reducing the number of takeaways she gets and eating more balanced, healthy food. She also agrees to start exercising and expresses interest in taking exercises classes. She plans to join her local gym where they offer Yoga and Pilates classes.
Isla will get an appointment to have her copper coil intrauterine device (IUD) inserted. Until then, she will use condoms and have a sexually transmitted infection (STI) health check done.
Isla schedules a follow-up appointment in 6 months’ time to see how she is doing with her exercise and diet changes, have her blood sugar (glucose) checked again through an HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin) test, and see how she is doing with her copper coil IUD.
