Results of laboratory tests were as follows: leukocyte count, 19 200/µL; creatine phosphokinase, 49 IU/L; serum glucose, 482 mg/dL; hemoglobin A_1c, 15.2%; and C-reactive protein, 203.0 mg/L. (To convert leukocyte count to number of cells x 10⁹/L, multiply by 0.001; to convert serum glucose to millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.0555; to convert hemoglobin to proportion of total hemoglobin, multiply by 0.01; to convert C-reactive protein to nanomoles per liter, multiply by 9.524.) She was not aware of having severe diabetes mellitus. . . . [Full Text of this Article]
