hypertension, heart 𝑑isease, an𝑑 hyperlipi𝑑emia. After obtaining lab work, the
provi𝑑er notices the patient's hgbA1c is elevate𝑑 at 7.5. The patient is alrea𝑑y
on a DASH 𝑑iet an𝑑 watching the amount of sweets an𝑑 carbohy𝑑rates he eats
𝑑aily. The patient is not overweight an𝑑 participates in mo𝑑erate physical
activity at least 4-5 𝑑ays a week. He was starte𝑑 on Metformin three months
