Abstract
A 39-year-old white male with hypertension and non-insulindependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) presented to his physician’s office for the third time in 6 months complaining of fatigue and polyuria. When this patient presented 6 months earlier, the diagnoses of both NIDDM and essential hypertension were made, and the patient was placed on glyburide, 5 mg po qd (once a day), and captopril, 25 mg po bid (twice a day). A check of the patient’s blood sugar and blood pressure 2 weeks later revealed that it was well controlled on the regimen.
