SOLVED1707

Based on the patient’s lab findings, the patient’s diagnosis is Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The patient’s hemoglobin A1c is 7.2. Patients meet the criteria for diagnosis of diabetes with a hemoglobin A1c of 6.5% or greater (American Diabetes Association, 2021). The patient’s fasting glucose is 132. A fasting plasma glucose level of 126 or greater is diagnostic for Type 2 diabetes mellitus (American Diabetes Association, 2021). An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed with a result of blood glucose level of 220 mg/dL. A screening diagnostic criterion for Type 2 diabetes is the performance of an OGTT with results of blood glucose level of 200 mg/dL or greater. There is also evidence of glucose in the patient’s urine from the urinalysis results. The patient is diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus because he is a 48-year-old adult male. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is usually present in individuals who are 40 years or older.
