: I don't think this justifies a 5, since we can't be sure. The other two items are about how to look after yourself.

Cuidados al Alta para diabéticos= diabetic outpatient care
Once again we are stumped by the acronyms and can rely not only on the very thorough research from excellent sources like Neil and others, but we must venture to provide meaning to some of these acronyms in the context of the text provided. In this case, it seems the authors are trying to convey that the diabetic patient be provided with instructions regarding Genitourinary care, hydration and perhaps diabetic outpatient care for either of the genders.

I agree with your take on the "instructions.... blah, blah... for men / women", clearly there are two separate sets of instuctions because of the GU hygiene.
"Instrucciones sobre higiene GU/hidratacion/CAD para varones"
"Instrucciones sobre higiene GU/hidratacion/CAD para mujeres"
This only means there is a separate instruction sheet for males and females, not that any of the them are gender dependent (except perhaps GU hygiene

If I had to guess, I'd say "cetoacidosis diabética" is more likely, but after reading around (for 30 seconds, no more) it seems this is quite rare in type 2 DM.
Maybe "cuidados de alta dependencia" applies because they are elderly patients?
