Mr. Hernandez's labs are notable for A1C 7.5, FPG 137 mg/dL, LDL-cholesterol 190 mg/dL, HDL-cholesterol 38 mg/dL, and triglycerides 232 mg/dL. You discuss his lab results, his diagnosis, and how to manage diabetes, then you make referrals to the appropriate diabetes team clinicians. You start Mr. Hernandez on metformin, lifestyle modifications, an ACE inhibitor, and a statin. What clinical parameters are you looking to achieve? A. A1C less than 7%, BP less than 130/80 mmHg, LDL less than 100 mg/dL B. A1C less than 7%, BP less than 130/90 mmHg, LDL less than 100 mg/dL C. A1C less than 7%, BP less than 140/80 mmHg, LDL less than 100 mg/dL D. A1C less than 7%, BP less than 140/90 mmHg, LDL less than 150 mg/dL Follow the link for the answer.
