From the Paper:

"The patient was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes by an unspecified diagnostic test in 1983. Random blood sugars ranged from 150-180 mg/dL in the morning and 190-200 mg/dL prior to supper. The patient admits to being poorly compliant with a diabetic diet, with an inability to regulate consumption, especially food high in carbohydrate content. In addition, weight loss has been unsatisfactory, with minimal exercise (walking her dog for 10 minutes) allegedly attributed to DJD. She is currently taking Glyburide 10 mg BID with questionable compliance and ASA 325 mg q D."
