Abstract
As the prevalence of type 2 diabetes continues to increase, nurse practitioners (NPs) will play a vital role in providing care for these individuals. NPs generally have more time to spend with patients with type 2 diabetes, and time to address diabetes-related issues. This evaluation was designed to determine if NP utilization of a glycemic protocol for medication intensification in patients with type 2 diabetes would result in a reduction of fasting blood glucose concentrations and hemoglobin A1C levels. There was a significant improvement in both fasting blood glucose concentrations and hemoglobin A1C.
