Abstract
The patient was an 81-year-old man with type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypertension, and hyperuricemia for several years. He was treated with a low-carbohydrate diet (LCD), sitagliptin, nifedipine, and febuxostat. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) showed an ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI) of 1.29/1.33 and a cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) of 10.1/10.2 (right/left), which were within the normal range for his age. Biochemical examinations were unremarkable, with low coefficients of variation (CV) observed in red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin (Hb), HbA1c, platelet count, creatinine, and HDL, ranging from 2.6% to 6.3%. The probable reasons for his stable clinical progress include a highly regular lifestyle and psychologically satisfying interpersonal relationships, following the principles of Hinohara-ism.
