2017 ADA Standards of Medical Care for the initiation and adjustment of Basal Insulin:Start with a basal insulin initiated at 10 units/day or 0.2 units/kg/dayCheck fasting glucose daily and inc dose by 2 Units every 3 days until fasting glucose values are consistently in the target range (70-130 mg/dL)

Initiating Basal Insulin

Slide19

Key ConceptsBasal insulin regulates hepatic glucose productionHigh doses of basal insulin do not provide adequate coverage of prandial insulin requirements. Avoid excessive basal insulin dosing by initiating prandial insulin or a GLP-1 Receptor agonist when the blood glucose log shows inadequate post prandial glucose control

Questions

Slide25

An overweight 50-year-old woman comes to the office for hyperglycemia. For the past 3 months, she has tried to lower her high blood sugars by a strict low carbohydrate diet and exercise. She reports no polyuria, polydipsia, or weight loss. Her father died of DM. Vital signs and physical examination are normal except for a BMI of 28.

Fasting glucose 140 mg/dL (on 4 occasions), HbA1c 8.6 %, serum creatinine is 0.8 m/dL, and the urine is negative for microalbuminuria. Current meds are Lisinopril, Hydrochlorothiazide and Atorvastatin

Which of the following is the most appropriate next step to improve hyperglycemia?

Continue diet and exercise for additional 3 months

Start

Liraglutide

Start Metformin

Start Pioglitazone

Start Glipizide

Slide26

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE:

Oral

antihyperglycemic

monotherapy for type 2 DM

Answer A is incorrect

:

This patient has Type 2 DM.

Diet and exercise for additional 3 months is unlikely to improve glycemic control.

Answer B is incorrect

:

Liraglutide

is a GLP-1 agonist, an injectable agent, only approved by the FDA for use in combination with other hypoglycemic agents.

Answer C is correct

: Many medications exist for initial therapy of T2DM and have similar efficacy as hypoglycemic agents. Metformin is recommended as first-line therapy because is effective, safe and inexpensive, and may reduce risk of cardiovascular events. Metformin should be started at diagnosis of T2DM, unless there are contraindications (kidney dis.)) or is not tolerated ( GI symptoms). Metformin can be used safely in patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as low as 30 ml/min/1.73m2 (Previously, metformin was contraindicated with creatinine levels >1.4 mg/dL (women) and >1.5 mg/dL (men).Answer D is incorrect: Pioglitazone, an insulin sensitizer and

PPARgamma agonist, could be used as monotherapy for T2DM, but is associated with side effects (weight gain, peripheral edema, increased risk of bone fractures in women) and is comparatively more expensive.Answer E is incorrect: Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea, insulin secretagogue, and could be used as initial monotherapy for T2DM but it is

a/w weight gain and can cause hypoglycemiaQuestion 1

Slide27

Slide28

A 45 yo man comes to your office for a routine physical examination. He has no personal medical history. Many relatives including his parents have diabetes mellitus.He takes no medications. Physical exam is normal and BMI is 27.5.

Laboratory tests show a random plasma glucose level of 158 mg/dL (8.8 mmol/L)Which of the following diagnoses is the best considering his glycemic status?Impaired Fasting Glucose

Impaired

Glucose tolerance

Metabolic SyndromeT2DM

Cannot

establish a diagnosis based on the glycemic status

Slide29

Answer A is incorrect

:

Impaired fasting glucose is defined as a FPG of equal or above 126 mg/

dL

Answer B is incorrect

: Impaired Glucose tolerance is defined by a 2HR PG equal or above 200 mg/

dL

Answer C is incorrect

: we have no information about whether this patient has the Metabolic Syndrome, which is characterized by 2 out 5 criteria: waste circumference above 40 inches in men and 35 inches in women, insulin resistance, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, impaired fasting glucose

Answer D is incorrect

: A diagnosis of DM is possible if a random plasma glucose is above 200 and not 158 mg/

dL

.Answer E is correct: Cannot establish a diagnosis based on the glycemic status. The only information we have about this patient’s glycemic status is a random glucose level of 158 mg/dL. DM can be diagnosed when only a random glucose levels is available that is above 200 mg/dL in the presence of symptoms of hyperglycemia.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE: Diagnosis of pre-Diabetes or diabetes mellitusQuestion 2

From

American Diabetes Association . Pharmacologic Approaches to glycemic treatment.

Section 8 in Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes- 2017. Diabetes Care 2017; 40(Suppl. 1) :S64—S74

Slide31

A 63-year old man is admitted to the hospital because of nausea, poor appetite, hypoglycemia, and worsening renal function. His serum creatinine levels have inc’d to 3.5 mg/dL from previous values of 1.4 mg/dL of three months ago. He has T2DM for 15 years and is currently taking glyburide and metformin. His fasting BG levels have ranged from 140-180 mg/dL, but

pt recalls many episodes of symptomatic hypoglycemia in the past month. He is on losartan and furosemide. On admission, random plasma glucose is 95 mg/dL and A1c is 7.0 %. DM medications are discontinued. His anorexia improves, his fasting BG values increase over next 3 days to 150-180 mg/dL, and creatinine at discharge is 1.8 mg/dL.Which of the following hypoglycemic medications should be prescribed for this

pt

?

Start pre-mixed insulin 70/30 once daily

Start

Sitagliptin

Restart Glyburide only

Restart Metformin only

Restart both Glyburide and Metformin

Slide32

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE

: Management of T2DM in chronic renal disease

Answer A is incorrect

: premixed insulin 70/30 can cause hypoglycemia

Answer B is correct:

Linagliptin

,

a

DPP-IV

inhibitor is often used in T2DM with

CKD.

The inhibition of DPP-IV increases glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) levels, which lead to

inc’d

insulin secretion and action, and decreased glucagon secretion. Linagliptin is metabolized in the liver and excreted unchanged in the urine. It can be used in patients with any stage of CKD. As monotherapy, linagliptin can cause a reduction of HbA1c in the range of 0.6-0.8 %.Answer C is incorrect: Glyburide is a sulfonylurea with the longest duration of action. This patient’s recent hypoglycemia may be due to his use of Glyburide. Therefore, Glyburide is not recommended in patients with CKD. Other secretagogues such as glimepiride or non-sulfonylurea secretagogue (repaglinide) could also be tried.

Answer D is incorrect: Metformin is contraindicated in men with serum creatinine levels greater than 1.5 mg/dL or women with serum creatinine levels greater than 1.4 mg/dL. A decreased glomerular filtration rate can cause accumulation of circulating metformin, which can increase the risk of lactic acidosis.

Answer E is incorrect: Obviously this answer is incorrect: Metformin ( because of CKD) and Glyburide because of the risk of hypoglycemiaQuestion 3

Slide33

A 48 yo woman returns to your office for a follow-up after routine laboratory tests show a fasting plasma glucose of 115 mg/dL.Her father and maternal grandmother have type 2 DM.

Physical exam is normal except for blood pressure is 140/86mmHg and BMI is 29.Laboratory tests:During an oral glucose tolerance test her 2-hour glucose level increases to 137 mg/dL.Hemoglobin A1c 5.8%LDL-cholesterol 105 mg/dLHDL-cholesterol 45 mg/dL

Triglycerides 159 mg/

dL

Which of the following is the most appropriate treatment for control of glycemia?

Start Metformin

Start Pioglitazone

Start Lisinopril

Start

Acarbose

Recommend diet and exercise

Slide34

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE

: Diagnosis and management of preDM

Answer A is incorrect

: Metformin therapy is associated with a relative reduction risk (RRR) of 31%, which is inferior to the 58 % RRR achieved with lifestyle changes. It is recommended that metformin therapy be initiated in patients with both IFG and IGT, who might be at higher risk for developing DM. This patient does not have IGT ( plasma glucose levels of 140-199 mg/

dL

at the 2-hr mark of an OGTT) and so should not take metformin.

Answer B is incorrect

: Both Rosiglitazone

& Pioglitazone

have been associated with 62 and 81 % RRRs in the incidence of DM. However, their use in

preDM

is not recommended because of side effects (edema, weight gain,

increased fracture risk in women

).Answer C is incorrect: Lisinopril might improve BP but will not prevent DM as demonstrated by the DM Reduction Assessment with Ramipril and Rosiglitazone (DREAM).Answer D is incorrect: In clinical studies, Acarbose ( an oral hypoglycemic agent that inhibits alpha-glucosidase and therefore slows down the absorption of glucose from the gut) was associated with only 25 % of RRR, much inferior to the RRR of diet and exercise ( 58%) Answer E is correct: Diet and exercise are the recommended intervention for patients with either IFG or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), both states of preDM. The Diabetes Prevention Program Trial has shown that the RRR in the incidence of DM in patients with IGT or IFT who where assigned to intensive lifestyle change was 58%.

Slide35

Slide36

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE

: Diagnosis and therapy of pre-DM. DM vs pre-DM

To test for pre-DM, fasting plasma glucose, 2-hr plasma glucose after 75-g OGTT, and A1c are equally appropriate

In

pts

with pre-DM, identify and, if appropriate, treat other cardiovascular

dz

risk factors

Testing for pre-DM should be considered in

adolescents and

who are overweight or obese and who have two or more additional risk factors for DM

Slide37

A 31-year old woman has recently found out she is pregnant for the first time. She is concerned about the possibility of developing gestational DM because she has a strong family history of type 2 DM.What is the best initial test to diagnose gestational DM?

Fasting blood glucoseRandom blood glucoseA 100-gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)

Hemoglobin A1c

A 50-gram glucose challenge test (GCT)

Slide38

Answer A B are incorrect

: Fasting or Random Blood Glucose are not used to diagnose GDM

Answer C is incorrect

: A 100-gram OGTT is not used for initial diagnosis of GDM, rather two strategies are adopted for diagnosis of GDM at 24-28 weeks: “one-step” 75-g OGTT or “two-step” approach with a 50-g (non-fasting) screen followed by a 100-g OGTT for those who screen positive.

Answer D is incorrect

: Hemoglobin A1c is not used for diagnosis of GDM

Answer E is correct:

In 2013, The NIH convened a consensus development conference to establish

dx’c

criteria for GDM. The Panel recommended

a two-step approach

that used a 1Hr ( non-fasting ) 50-g glucose challenge test (GCT) followed by a 3hr ( fasting baseline ) 100g OGTT for those who screened positive. Screening with 1Hr GCT does not require fasting and is therefore easier to accomplish for many women

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE: Learn the diagnostic tests for DM in pregnancy and GDM

Slide39

RecommendationsTest for undx’d T2DM at the first prenatal visit in those with risks factors, using standard diagnostic criteria

Test for GDM at 24-28 weeks of gestation in those not previously known to have DMScreen women with GDM for persistent DM at 6-12 weeks post-partum, using the OGTT and non pregnancy diagnostic criteria

Women with history of GDM should have lifelong screening for the development of DM or pre-DM at least q3 years

Women with a history of GDM found to have

preDM should undergo lifestyle interventions or metformin to prevent DM

Slide40

Screening for GDM

1)

One-step approach

:

Diagnostic 3 hr 75 gr OGTT ( fasting baseline)

2)

Two-step approach

:

Initial screen

:

Serum glucose measures 1-hour after 50 g glucose load

Glucose threshold = or > 140 mg/dL ( ~80% sensitivity); = or >130 mg/dL (~90% sensitivity)

Diagnostic test: 100 OGTT in women who exceed initial screen thresholdDiagnosis of GDM requires 2 of the following:Fasting = or > 95 mg/dL 1 hour: = or > 180 mg/dL2 hour: = or > 155 mg/dL 3 hour: = or > 140 mg/dL

Slide41

A 52 year old man with type 2 DM who is your patient for the past 4 years, develops persistent hyperglycemia. He is receiving maximal doses of Metformin, Glipizide and Pioglitazone for the past 3 years. You recommend to start insulin to improve glycemic control. The patient is willing to start insulin, but is unwilling to injects himself many times a day.Which of the following insulin regimens is best for glycemic control in this patient?

A single injection of 70/30 NPH/Regular Insulin at bedtimeA bedtime injection of Insulin glargine, and up to 3 injections of short-acting insulin with meals.A

single injection of Insulin glargine at bedtime.

Slide42

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE: introducing insulin therapy for glycemic control in T2DM

Question 6

Answer A is incorrect

: A single injection of 70/30 NPH/Regular insulin is a valid alternative but should be given at dinner and not at bedtime

Answer B is incorrect

:

A bedtime injection of insulin glargine at bedtime, and up to 3 injections of short-acting insulin with meals may be necessary for T1DM, but are rarely needed for T2DM.

Answer C is correct:

A single injection of glargine at bedtime. Insulin glargine has a slow release and provides a steady-state insulin levels for 24hr following one injection and is less likely to cause nocturnal hypoglycemia.

Slide43

Which of the following drugs is the most common hypoglycemic agent currently used in the treatment of gestational DM?

PioglitazoneInsulinMetforminRepaglinideGlyburide

Slide44

Answer A is incorrect

: There is no long-term data about the safety of Pioglitazone or Rosiglitazone as oral hypoglycemic agents for GDM.

Answer B is correct:

Insulin is the preferred medication for treating hyperglycemia in GDM as it does not cross the placenta to a measurable extent.

Answer C is incorrect

: Metformin may have lower risk of neonatal hypoglycemia and less maternal weight gain than insulin. However, metformin may increase slightly the risk of prematurity. Short-term trials support efficacy and safety of Metformin, but Metformin crosses the placenta and long-term data on its safety on the fetus are not known.

Answer D is incorrect

:

Repaniglide

, the non-sulfonylurea

secretagogue

, is contraindicated in pregnancy because no safety data exist.

Answer E is incorrect: The concentration of Glyburide in the umbilical cord plasma is about 70% of the maternal levels. Glyburide is associated with a higher rate of neonatal hypoglycemia and macrosomia than Metformin or Insulin.

Educational Objective: Management of DM In PregnancyQuestion 7

Slide45

Use of common drugs in pregnancy complicated by DM, HTN and hyperlipidemia

ACEi

and ARB are contraindicated

( risk of fetal renal dysplasia, oligohydramnios, intrauterine growth restriction)

Safe HTN drugs

: methyldopa, labetalol, diltiazem, clonidine,

prazosin

Statins

are contraindicated

Slide46

A 45 yo man has type 2 DM for 5 years. His daily log book shows blood glucose levels Between 120 and 150 with weekly occurrence of hypoglycemia 50 mg/dL or below, of which the patient is not aware. His PMH includes chronic kidney disease, HTN, hyperlipidemia, GERD OSA and OA.

He has followed a strict program of diet and exercise, but can only walk 15 minutes daily due to back and knee pain. He has lost 4 Kg in one year.His medications include glargine, aspart, lisinopril, carvedilol, omeprazole, aspirin and atorvastatin.On physical exam, blood pressure is 145/90, pulse rate 64. BMI is 39. Bilateral loss of microfilament and vibratory sensation on feet are present.Laboratory values show Hemoglobin A1c of 8.9 % and serum creatinine of 1.7 mg/dL

Which of the following is the most appropriate therapy for this patient?

Initiate

Pramlintide

Initiate Metformin

Increase Insulin glargine

Refer for bariatric surgery

Increase Insulin

aspart

Slide47

Answer A is incorrect

:

Pramlintide

, a synthetic analogue of amylin, which is

co-secreted

with insulin from beta cells, can cause a modest weight loss due to the slowing of gastric emptying caused by this drug. However, it could potentially exacerbate hypoglycemia

Answer B is incorrect

:

Metformin

is contraindicated in men with serum creatinine above 1.5 mg/

dL

because of the risk of lactic acidosis

Answer C and E are incorrect: Increasing insulin would exacerbate the weekly hypoglycemia events and could lead to more weight gainAnswer D is correct: Bariatric surgery should be considered in patients with a BMI between 35 and 40 with one or more comorbidities. This patient has uncontrolled T2DM with microvascular complications along with other co-morbidities associated to obesity such as HTN, HLD, OSA, GERD, OA. An attempt to lifestyle changes with diet and exercise did not results in weight loss that could improve his metabolic abnormalities.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE: Learn the indications for bariatric surgery in an obese patient with T2DM
