examination, the patient’s fasting plasma glucose is 130 mg/dL. The patient walks 1
mile three or four times weekly. She has had two children who weighed 7 lb and 8 lb at
birth. Her personal and family histories are noncontributory. The primary care NP

risk of developing diabetes. This woman does not have risk factors. Other tests are not
indicated.
