Block 3: Chronic Complications of Diabetes Flashcards
Poor glycemic control and hyperglycemia can lead to?
Many of the long-term complications related to diabetes
What are the mascovascular complications?
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Hypertension
- Peripheral Vascular Disease
- Foot Ulcers
What are the microvascular complications?
- Neuropathy
- Retinopathy
- Nephropathy
How do you reduce diabetes complications?
- Glycemic management
- BP managment
- Lipid management
- Agents with CV and kidney benefit
What are the major risk factors of CV risk?
- > 40 YO
- HTN
- CKD >3a
- Smoking
- Premature ASCVD
- Low HDL
- High non HDL
How do you minimize CV risk?
- Smoking cessation
- Control weight
- Control blood glucose
- Control BP
- COntrol Lipids
- Anti-platelet therapy
Blood pressure catergories?
BP goal for DM and HTN?
130/80
Uncrontrolled HTN can lead to…
Microvascular and microvascular problems
HTN medication CI with pregnancy?
ACEI, ARB, spironolactone
Tx for BP cateogries?
BP>120/80 mmHg
* Lifestyle Modifications
BP>130/80 mmHg
* Lifestyle Modifications + 1 drug
BP>160/100 mmHg
* Lifestyle Modifications, + 2 drugs
HTN drug classes?
- ACE or ARB: 1st line for patients with
urine albumin to creatinine ratio > 30 mg/g creatinine
* Do not combine with each other or renin inhibitor - Thiazinde
- DHP CCB
How do you monitor HTN?
Annually
1. Scr
2. eGFR
3. K
How often do you check lipid profiles?
- At diagnosis
- At initiation of lipid lowering therapy
- 4-12 weaks after lipid management therapy initiation/dose change
- Annually
Indications for lipid tx?
LDL > 100 mg/dl
* LDL > 70 mg/dl if DM & risk factors
* LDL > 55 mg/dL if DM & overt CVD
Triglycerides > 150 mg/dl
HDL < 40 (males), < 50 mg/dl (females)
Lifestyle modifications to improve lipid profile?
- Weight loss
- Mediterranean or DASH
- Physical activity
Lipid Goals?
Primary prevention HLD with DM?
CVD RF: LDL goal of <70 mg/dL
Secondary prevention of HLD with DM?
- All patient with DM and CVD: high intensity statin + lifestyle modifications
- Target 50% or more reduction of LDL from baseline and an LDL goal <55 mg/dL
- Add ezetimibe or a PCSK9 inhibitor to max tolerated statin dose if needed to reach LDL goal
What are the high intensity statins?
- Atorvastatin 40-80 mg
- Rosuvastatin 20-40 mg
What are the moderate intesity statins?
- Atorvastatin 10-20 mg
- Rosuvastatin 5-10 mg
- Simvastatin 20-40 mg
- Pravastatin 40-80
- Lovastatin 40 mg
When is aspirin used in secondary prevention?
Pts with DM and a hx of ASCVD
