SOLVED2769

The main four criteria to diagnose DM include fasting plasma glucose ≥126 mg/dL OR random plasma glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL plus symptoms of diabetes OR oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT): 2-h plasma glucose ≥200 mg/dL OR hemoglobin A1c 6.5% or higher (Rosenthal and Burchum, 2021). Also, the A1C test provides an estimate of the blood glucose level over 2 to 3 months, therefore, is considered a standard test to diagnose DM (Rosenthal and Burchum, 2021). According to Rosenthal and Burchum (2021), the first step of treatment for newly diagnosed type 2 DM is lifestyle changes plus metformin. Mr. Jones’ Hemoglobin A1c is 8.1%, which consider a diagnosis of type 2 DM. He should be started with metformin and educated on lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.
