Patient #CI-41K1: Kadeem is a 41-year-old truck driver who is on the road for months at a time. Kadeem’s job makes it difficult for him to exercise regularly and prepare his own meals. Now home after 3 months away, he is visiting his primary care physician (PCP) for his annual physical checkup. Kadeem is a type 2 diabetic and claims that he keeps his blood glucose level within appropriate ranges more than half of the time. During this first visit, his PCP gathered some basic anthropometric data, took his blood pressure (145/90 mmHg), and wrote him an order for lab work. A week later, Kadeem came in for a follow-up appointment to go over his lab results; his blood pressure was taken again (150/90 mmHg).
