  2. The ‘ABCs’ • A1C • BP < 140/90 • Cholesterol (LDL<100, if CAD <70)

  3. Improving Glucose Control

  4. Who Are Your High A1C Patients? • Orals and need second oral? • Need insulin? • On insulin? • There can be inertia at each level • DEPRESSION? • Adherence? • Open-ended ended question: • “Some people find it hard taking their insulin every day, how’s it going for you?”

  5. BP CONTROL

  6. BP Management • <140/90 • Multiple meds • Don’t miss an opportunity to titrate • Standing orders?

  7. Medication Treatment Algorithm? • Start with ACE or ARB and/or HCTZ • Either one • Best might be early combo since all will likely need it • Third agent based on co-morbidity • Beta blocker and/or Ca channel • Add the 4th and hopefully you’ve reached goal - if not call an expert +/- alpha blocker?
