Additional diabetes Flashcards
Normal PG (fast/2hr)
Fast < 5.6
2hr < 7.8
What percentage of Australians have pre-diabetes?
16%
What is Syndrome X?
Diabetes, obesity, HT, dyslipidaemia
Which trial grouped people into 3-4 injections vs 1-2?
Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) - RCT
Observational follow-up by EDIC
In the DCCT trial, what was the method?
3-4 insulin injections/day + 4x monitoring/day
VS
1-2 insulin injections/day + 1x BGL monitoring/day
What were the results of the DCCT trial?
Stopped after 6.5 yrs - too strong support for intensive.
Intensive = 7.3% HbA1c Conventional = 9.1% HbA1c
If HbA1c dropped by 10% in the DCCT trial, what risks changed?
39% decreased risk of retinopathy
25% nephropathy
EDIC showed…
Less progression of retinopathy and nephropathy
Which study assessed the effects of a 1% HbA1c drop, and who did it examine?
UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS)
T2DM
1% HbA1c drop in T2DM =? (UKPDS)
(Less) 43% PVD (= less amputation/death) 37% microvascular disease 21% diabetes-related deaths 14% MI 12% stroke
What did the UKPDS say about SBP?
For each 10mmHg reduction in SBP
• 25% ¯ risk for PVD
• 15% ¯ diabetes-related death
• 13% ¯ risk for microvascular complications
• 12% ¯ risk for any diabetic complication
• 11% ¯ risk for MI
When is assessment needed?
If commencing new exercise that is more intense than brief walking
What happened in the Malmö study?
Early T2DM, IGT, non-diabetic
Diet and exercise (2x60min/wk)
After 5yrs
- reduced CV risk
- Improved fitness
- 55% with T2DM no longer reached diagnostic levels
Who looked at brisk walking and diet in pre-diabetes?
Diabetes Prevention Program Research Group
Clinical aims of T2DM Rx
1. HbA1c reduction 2. - insulin sensitivity - active lifestyle - diet - BMI etc
