ABSTRACT
Mr Green is 55 years old and lives with his long-term partner. Mr Green has a busy life. He works part-time doing clerical work. He also does voluntary work, regularly enjoys doing pub quizzes with his friends, and spends time with his partner, daughter and grandchildren at the weekends. He was diagnosed with this type 2 diabetes three years ago, and has still not managed to achieve good control. His body mass index (BMI) is 31. He comes in to see you once every six months or so, and every time he is disappointed to hear that his HbA1c is still at 10.2, despite the fact that he takes all his medication. It has been like this for the past two years or so.
