A 52-year-old man has type 2 diabetes. His diabetes is well controlled with metformin (500 mg) twice
daily and long-acting insulin (Insulin glargine 100 ml/unit injectable solution, 20 units), administered
once daily. He does not have any other complications associated with his diabetes. He is also on
Lisinopril (20 mg) to maintain appropriate blood pressure and kidney function, and aspirin as a
cardiovascular preventive service. He visits his primary care physician four times a year, his podiatrist
once a year, and his ophthalmologist once a year. Twice yearly he receives tests for his hemoglobin A1C.
Once a year he receives blood tests for microalbuminuria, a lipid panel, and a comprehensive metabolic
panel. He purchases medication and supplies as needed, including testing supplies so he can test his
insulin levels. In addition, he receives diabetes self-management education and medical nutrition therapy
education.
He receives an annual influenza vaccine, but has never received a pneumococcal vaccine, so he will
receive one this year and another after he turns 65 years of age. His glucagon kit has expired so he will
purchase a new kit this year.
