Assessment

Differentials: 1. Diabetes mellitus type 1

2. Latent autoimmune diabetes in adult

3. Chronic renal Insufficiency.

Diagnosis: Diabetes mellitus 2, Hypercholesterolemia.

Plan And treatment : The cornerstone of therapy for all patients with diabetes is a personalized self-management program, usually developed with the patient by a diabetes education nurse or nutritionist.  Diabetes self-management education and support facilitates diabetes self-care and assists in implementation and sustainment of lifestyle changes on an ongoing basis. This requires general nutrition and health lifestyle knowledge and an individualized nutrition and exercise plan based on an initial assessment and treatment goal.( ADA, 2018)

Diabetes mellitus: Stop Sexagliptin.

Start Metformin 500 BID, Glipizide 5 mg daily plus Actos 30 mg daily.

Hypercholesterolemia: Stop Plavix.

Start Lipitor 40 mg daily.

Aspirin 81 mg daily ( prophylaxis)

.

Education:  Diabetes education and mentioned above plus regular exercise. For high cholesterol, the adoption of a healthier lifestyle, including a low-fat diet and a reasonable amount of aerobic exercise, will have a large impact on the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia, as well as of obesity and coronary heart disease. Patient should follow with PCP in three month.
