The patient in question is a family member. Patient is a 58 YOM type 1 diabetic. He's on Humalog and Lantus for Diabetes as well as 40mg Lipitor, 81mg AMA, and 160mg Diovan daily. About three weeks ago he started complaining of fatigue and chills. He hasn't had any fever though (that I know of). His complexion is ashen at times. When this happens he is cool to the touch and usually goes to sleep. BP: 138/90 P: 76 R: 18 snoring with periods of apnea. Has also been coughing recently. Had a case of the flu about 2 weeks ago, went and saw a GP and was given an antibiotic and a narcotic based cough depressant.
Is this leftover flu stuff or something related to diabetes or what's up?
