Which of the following laboratory results meets criteria for diagnosis of
diabetes?
random blood glucose greater than 126 mg/dL with classic symptoms of
hyperglycemia
positive urine ketones
random glucose greater than 200 mg/dL with classic symptoms of
hyperglycemia
Hgb A1C 6.4%
The criterion for the diagnosis of diabetes is either two fasting blood glucose
readings with results greater than or equal to 126 mg/dL or a random blood
glucose reading greater than or equal to 200 mg/dL if symptoms of diabetes
are present. Random glucose is not the appropriate test. In older adults, the
glucose reading after a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) rises more
rapidly than the fasting glucose. Kennedy p.370

prescribe Metformin 500 mg po daily
repeat fasting glucose in 1 week
repeat fasting glucose in 1 year
A fasting plasma glucose > 126 mg/dL requires further testing. In the absense
of unequivocal hyperglycemia, result should be confirmed by repeat testing .
A HgbA1C is the correct answer becasue the repeat testing should be
completed without delay.
Retesting in a week or a year is a delay. Metformin should not be initatiated
until the diagnosis is confirmed . Dunphy p.925
Question 5
pts
A newly diagnosed patient with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is 66 inches in

Correct Answer
diet, exercise, and metformin
diet, exercise, and insulin
diet and exercise
no treatment necessary at this time
At 66 in and a weight of 200 lbs. the patient has a BMI of 32.3. If you did not
have an ability to calculate, the weight of 200 is higher than a normal BMI.
The ADA and AACE recommend that patients with recent onset T2DM (A1C <
7.5%) start with lifestyle changes and monotherapy. Dunphy p.927
