    • Statin therapy should be added to lifestyle therapy regardless of baseline lipid levels in all patients with diabetes.
    • A reduction in LDL cholesterol of 30-40% from baseline is an alternative therapeutic goal in patients that are on maximal statin therapy and have not reached their targets.
    • If targets are not reached on maximal tolerated statin therapy, combination therapy should be started.
    • Triglyceride levels > 150 mg/dL are an indication to start a fibrate.

  • 2. 

    What is the ADA and AACE recommended level of A1C that is considered a criteria for diagnosis of diabetes?

    • ≥ 5.4%

    • ≥ 5.7%

    • ≥ 6.5%

    • ≥ 7%

    • None of these. A1C is not a diagnostic parameter that can be used to diagnose diabetes.

    Correct Answer
    A. ≥ 6.5%
    Explanation
    The ADA (American Diabetes Association) and AACE (American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists) recommend a level of A1C ≥ 6.5% as a criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes. A1C is a blood test that measures average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. A level of 6.5% or higher indicates that a person has diabetes. This recommendation is based on extensive research and clinical evidence, and is widely accepted in the medical community.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    The 2014 ADA Standards of Medical Care in DM currently recommends the following goal level for blood pressure:

    • < 130/80 mm Hg

    • < 135/85 mm Hg

    • < 140/80 mm Hg

    • < 140/90 mm Hg

    Correct Answer
    A. < 140/80 mm Hg
    Explanation
    The correct answer is < 140/80 mm Hg. This is the recommended goal level for blood pressure according to the 2014 ADA Standards of Medical Care in DM. It is important to keep blood pressure below this level to reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The ADA and AACE both support the use of individual A1C goals, dependent on patient specific risk factors. Which of the following factors would make it appropriate to have an A1C goal above 7%?

    • Newly diagnosed

    • Good support system

    • Long life expectancy

    • History of severe hypoglycemia

    • All of these risk factors would warrant consideration for goal > 7%

    Correct Answer
    A. History of severe hypoglycemia
    Explanation
    A history of severe hypoglycemia would make it appropriate to have an A1C goal above 7%. Severe hypoglycemia is a serious complication of diabetes characterized by dangerously low blood sugar levels. Setting a higher A1C goal can help prevent episodes of hypoglycemia by allowing for slightly higher blood sugar levels. This is done to minimize the risk of hypoglycemia while still maintaining good overall glycemic control.
