meet the needs of 69-year-old patient who is a firefighter. Teaching
Mr D about the use of Metaformin in combination with diet to help
manage his diabetes. Since Mr D has lost his visual ability due to
diabetes type two, metaformin in combination with a proper diet and
physical exercises will play a critical role in helping the patient
manage the disease effectively (Stevens et al., 2018).
