Case Study: Khalil is a 56-year-old male who is scheduled for a routine primary care provider's (PCP) visit to follow-up on his hypertension. He reports no significant complaints other than his vision being blurry; he states, "I need to go to the eye doctor to have my eyes checked." At the conclusion of her visit, the PCP orders a basic metabolic panel (BMP) and complete blood count (CBC) to be drawn. Khalil receives a phone call 2 days later from her PCP's office to schedule an appointment for later that day. Khalil is told that her blood sugar is elevated. At her appointment, Khalil and the nurse begin by reviewing Khalil's risk factors for diabetes. Khalil reports that his mother and grandmother were diabetics. He is also over 45 years old and overweight at 5 feet 2 inches and 200 pounds. Khalil still finds it hard to believe that he could be diabetic since he is feeling okay; he asks the nurse to explain to his how diabetes occurs.
