greater sense of urgency to manage her conditions, particularly her weight and DM.

- Her blood sugar recordings of 200-260 is still too high. Also, her med list did
not include a long-acting insulin (i.e Lantus)
o Increase Novolog 2 units with meals (up to 50 units)
If blood sugar above 200, increase another 2 units
o Meet with Dr. Kirk to address diabetes control and fine-tune
medication
o Return in 1 month for labs and blood work
- Encourage patient to increase walking from 3 to 5 times per week
4. Depression:
- Support and reassurance
- Medication seems to be working
o Continue Prozac 2 capsules by mouth every morning
5. Tobacco use:
- Continue decreasing tobacco use
o Consider cutting back to 1 pack per 4 days
6. Health Maintenance:
- Schedule a mammogram for July (in 2 months)
The above plan was discussed with and provided to the patient in written form. The
teach-back method was used and the patient expressed adequate understanding.
