Assessment
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus — reasonable glycaemic control, HbA1c 52 mmol/mol (target <53). Fasting hyperglycaemia noted, consider lifestyle modification before medication change.
- Essential Hypertension — BP 138/82, slightly above target of 130/80 for diabetic patient. Re-check in 4 weeks; consider uptitration of Amlodipine if persistently elevated.
- Osteoarthritis R Knee — intermittent symptoms managed with PRN Ibuprofen. Discussed risks of long-term NSAID use with renal and cardiovascular considerations. Advised paracetamol as first-line, topical NSAIDs as alternative.
Plan
- Continue Metformin 500mg BD — no dose change at present
- Continue Amlodipine 5mg OD — review BP in 4 weeks; consider increasing to 10mg if above target
- Lifestyle advice: reduce refined carbohydrates at evening meal to address fasting hyperglycaemia; aim for 30 min walking daily
- Repeat bloods in 6 months: HbA1c, U&Es, lipid profile, LFTs
- Refer to MSK physiotherapy for right knee OA if symptoms worsen
- Next annual diabetes review booked — Feb 2027
