I think this change should be in the text somehow
How’s this?
Text field
Insulin should be started when HbA1c > {{c1::10%::%}} even for newly diagnosed patients
Extra field
Start insulin therapy if the patient has hyperglycemia symptoms, an initial glucose level ≥ 300 mg/dL, or an HbA1c > 10%

Is there a source that supports the current text? As far as I know, we start insulin if oral medications fail to control glucose levels. The cutoff of 10 is something I’ve only heard of in the context of newly diagnosed patients.
Support current add to extra field. I don’t think adjusting the text field is necessary.
