Response
It's got to be more.
I've been unusually tired for the last |
few weeks — well, maybe longer,
like a few months. I'm not sure. |
think it is because I'm not getting hk
any sleep because | have to get up
| and pee so much during the night.
| My wife has been telling me |
needed to come in and get it
evaluated. She thought | might
have something wrong with my
| kidneys.
| No
| don't think so; but I've had a few
| borderline readings over the last
few years.
No, just a whole lot of urinating
No, thank goodness.
My wife said | should also tell you
my vision sometimes gets a bit
blurry. Nothing else | can think of.
Not that my wife's complained of.
No chest pain.
No.
Well, when | retired, | started sitting
around too much and gained quite
a bit of weight, tipped the scales at
about 217. | just seem to keep
gaining it too, about 8 pounds
without really trying. In fact, I've
been trying to walk the dog more. ~
| It's weird... What do you think?
It's definitely increased.

Abdominal obesity is an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus as well as being at increased risk for heart
disease, hypertension, dyslipidemia and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Prevailing guidelines define abdominal obesity
in terms of waist circumference:

orthostatic blood pressure (BP)
* palpate extremities
Edema provides clues to cardiopulmonary, endocrine, and vascular diseases that may be a part of the patient's clinical
picture.

There are many causes of blurred vision, so it is important to do a gross, undilated fundoscopic exam to directly examine
the retina and optic nerve for serious treatable problems that may be related to the diagnosis

Fatigue may result from infectious causes so a thorough examination is relevant for this patient
sensory tests (light touch, pain, position, temperature, vibration)
Sensory testing includes light touch, pain, position, temperature and vibration. Location and laterality of any deficits

Visual acuity is important in any person that presents with concerns of a visual problem Changes from past values are

Diagnosis Feedback
New-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus
The patient's presenting symptoms of increased fatigue, thirst, urination, and appetite are consistent with new-onset type 2
diabetes mellitus and resulting polyuria. His associated symptoms of visual disturbance are secondary effects of uncontrolled
glucose levels and high post-prandial blood sugars. The laboratory finding of elevated HbA1c (8.5%) indicates the average
severity of his hyperglycemic state. Uncontrolled DM can lead to further micro and macrovascular complications, such as
erectile dysfunction, renal disease and cardiovascular disease, as well as susceptibility to infection
