Currently, he is taking NPH insulin 30 units bid (8 a.m. and 6 p.m. with 10 units Humalog before each meal. He does not use tobacco products but does drink alcohol on the weekends. He reports checking blood glucose (BG) levels three to four times daily but did not bring his glucose log or meter. He reports his fasting blood sugar runs 150 to 190 and prandial glucose readings are 140-250. He reports hypoglycemic episodes one to two times week. He exercises intermittently but is not on a regular schedule. He does not eat on a regular schedule every day although he says he knows that he should. He works at a light-activity job 8 hours daily. His height is 5’10" and he weighs 200 pounds. His blood pressure is 128/78 mm Hg and is pulse is 76 and regular. A random fingerstick glucose is 240 and point of care A1c is 9.8. Fasting chemistry and lipid panels, thyroxine (T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and random urine for microalbumin are ordered.
ASSESSMENT:
1. Fasting BG: 203
2. Lipid profile: high-density lipoprotein 55; low-density lipoprotein 103; triglycerides 180; total cholesterol 209
3. Thyroid within normal limits
4. Creatinine 1.0; albumin 5.0
5. Microalbumin 17

Case Study: Muscular Fitness Assessment and Exercise Prescription
Harold is a 40-year-old biology professor who teaches at the university and does research on cellular aging of skeletal muscle in dogs. Harold weighs 180 lb (81.6 kg). He recently purchased a new townhome that requires very little household or yard maintenance. His primary recreation consists of playing chess, reading, and playing classical guitar. For physical exercise he regularly puts the garbage out on Monday, presses remote control buttons for the TV and CD player, and rides his bicycle to work (2 miles [3.2 km] round-trip) 5 days per week. His research on aging prompted concern about his own muscular fitness. He contacted you to assess his strength and to design a resistance training program to increase his strength in an attempt to retard the degeneration of his muscular system. The results of his strength assessment were as follows:
Test item |

Ratio (1-RM/BM) |
Points |
1. Bench press |

0.61 | 2 |
2. Arm curl |

0.52 | 2 |
6. Leg curl |

Question
Harold's goal is to improve strength. If you were to design a resistance training program for him that uses free weights and exercise machines (Table 7.3 and Table 7.6), what would week 1 of the program entail. Be sure to complete this in the table below (it is not necessary to use the entire table below to complete week 1 of his program). How will you know when it is time to increase Harold’s resistance?
