Too often when we see patients we arbitrarily give them a goal A1c. Most of us don’t make every person strive for 5.7, but we sometimes forget to find out what the patient really thinks they can accomplish. This week we combined information from Dr. Karl Nadolsky and our Medical Editor to share a great example of why you need to include your patient in the decision. Check out this week’s Disaster Averted to see what I am talking about.
