Your patient is a 45-year-old woman with early diabetes of 24 months’ duration. Her hemoglobin A1c level started at 7.7%, her low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was 145 mg/dL, and her body mass index was 35 kg/m2.
Treatment with lifestyle changes and metformin produced no changes in her weight or laboratory values, because she does not adhere to the treatment regimen. She has a family history of type 2 diabetes in her mother, who died at age 55 from a myocardial infarction.
You and your staff tend to become somewhat impatient with her, and some even blame her for her inability to change.
