Document Summary
Eats a lot of greasy foods and has no interest in changing his diet or adding exercise (i. e. wife comes back to the pharmacy 3 weeks later (metformin and glucometer test strips were dispensed last time) with a prescription for prednisone 40mg. Patient is hesitant about the strips because they do not want to pay for it, but you can tell them that they only need to use it maybe once a day for a couple weeks until their diabetes is well controlled, then test once every 1 2 weeks, so the 100 strips can last well over a year. an allergy, a reaction. my facilitator gave me shit for that lol, such a bitch) and has hives and red, weepy lesions all over his body. Two options: either dispense the prednisone and closely monitor blood glucose (since prednisone at that high of a dose can cause hyperglycemia) or not give the prednisone and give oral benadryl.
