Mr  Jones, a 57 year old African American male, presents to the office for a planned 6 month follow up visit for hyperlipidemia and weight loss recommendations. Lifestyle recommendations were recommended at that time. He has been following dietary recommendations “as good as he could remember” and exercising, he reports some new concerns today. He reports that he has been experiencing increased fatigue for about the last 12 weeks. He has a health club membership and attends 3-4 times a week.  He walks on the treadmill at least 30 minutes as you directed and lifts weights but he has not lost any weight, in fact he has gained 8 pounds. He doesn’t understand what he is doing wrong and is requesting more education. He reports that exercise makes him even more hungry and thirsty. He requests evaluation as to why he is so tired. He reports he has to go to the bathroom more often- he is waking up during the night to urinate and seems to be urinating more frequently during the day. This has been occurring for about 3 months too. No other GU symptoms have been noted.
