1) Date of diagnosis.

2) How often do you visit your physician

3) How is your diabetes controlled?  Diet alone, oral medication or insulin?

4) Are you on any other medications?

5) Please give your most recent blood sugar reading

6) Do you monitor your own sugar?

7) What is your most recent glycohemoglobin (HbA1C) level?

8) Do you have any of the following:  chest pain, elevated lipids, kidney disease, black out spells, hypertension, overweight, protein in the urine, neuropathy, retinopathy, abnormal ECG

9) Have you smoked cigarettes in the last 12 months?

10) Do you have any other major health problems
