History

At the last clinic visit 3 months ago, repaglinide was increased from 2 mg bid to tid; exenatide was initiated for the additional benefit of weight loss; amlodipine was increased from 5 mg daily to 10 mg daily.
His wife reports that she gives him his medications whenever she is at home (she works 10 hour days), however he at times opts not to take them.
When she is not there to assist him with taking his medications she feels that he is non compliant, since numerous times she finds his pills for the day left in the medication box that she prepares weekly for him.
Also, she reports that on multiple occasions he refuses his evening exenatide injection.
In addition, she reports that she worries about leaving him home alone because he has experienced hypoglycemic events in the past.
His wife also reports that he took all of his medications this morning. When the patient was queried what his breakfast usually consists of, he reports that usually he skips breakfast (as he did this morning).
