Question

Wilbur McIntyre is a 58-year-old patient with type II diabetes mellitus (DM). He has been taking medications for this issue since his late 40s along with Rosuvastatin for his cholesterol issues, Lisinopril for his hypertension, and hydrocortisone cream for his intermittent eczema on his arms and legs. Though he reports adherence to a "good" diet on most days, he still likes patty sausages with breakfast. Inevitably, he has gained 30 pounds in the last 10 years with a current body mass index (BMI) of 35. He knows that some of that is associated with his use of basal insulin and occasional rapid acting insulin at meal times, when he remembers to take his pre meal blood sugars. He still has normal renal function and has not been hospitalized for any wound or glucose control issues. He is on metformin at the maximum dose but does complain from time to time about some gastrointestinal (GI) issues with this medication. His HgA1C readings are always "on the high side." His liver function tests, other complete metabolic panel (CMP) results, and complete blood count (CBC) are normal. He has a plan in his record to start adding additional medications if his previous goals.
