Height-
Measure once and record on PCC Health Summary.
If PCC is not available, record on diabetes flowsheet. For children
<18 years of age, height and weight should be recorded at each visit. Use
to calculate body mass index and ideal or reasonable body weight.
Date
of Diabetes Diagnosis -
Record on PCC Health Summary. If
PCC is not available, record on diabetes flowsheet. Longer duration of
diabetes correlates with increased risk of complications.
ECG
- Obtain baseline then repeat every
1-5 years as clinically indicated (for those age 40 and above, or with
diabetes duration over 10 years, every 1-2 years is recommended).
PPD
- Should be documented once after
diagnosis of diabetes (Offer INH prophylaxis to patients according to protocol
– refer to Section 9).
Depression
- Studies have shown that many
patients with diabetes also have depression. Record if an
assessment
for depression has been done and a diagnosis made.
