Dr. R. Smith
Endocrinology Clinic

Dear Dr. Smith,

I am referring Mr. John Martin, a 54-year-old patient with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes.

Despite compliance with Metformin 500 mg twice daily, his fasting glucose remains at 180 mg/dl. He reports occasional fatigue but denies hypoglycemic symptoms. His diet is moderately controlled, though he struggles with exercise.

Given his persistent hyperglycemia, I would appreciate your specialist assessment and consideration of adjusting his medication regimen.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for additional details.

Yours sincerely,
Dr. X
