Q

T2DM Treatment and Management with Goals (7)

A
  1. Metformin alone inadequate to treat T2DM
    * You need to make the blood glucose environment amenable to Metformin first; lower it to an amenable level
  2. Metformin–first line drug
    a. Reduces A1c
    b. Minimal risk of hypoglycemia
    c. Effect on reducing LDL cholesterol
  3. Monitor A1c q3months; intensity treatment if A1c goals are not being met
    a. Target A1c goal <7%
    b. If monotherapy fails can add additional oral hypoglycemic agent or insulin
  4. Fingerstick blood glucose monitoring
    a. Taking insulin or other meds with hypoglycemia risk
    b. Initiating or changing diabetes treatment regimen
    c. Have not met treatment goals
    d. Intercurrent illness
  5. Fingersticks should be performed ≥3 times daily when using multiple insulin injections or insulin pump therapy
    * Fasting goal 70-130 mg/dl
  6. For less-intensive therapy, finger-stick BG monitoring may be useful as a guide to the success of therapy.
  7. To achieve postprandial glucose targets, postprandial finger-stick BG monitoring may be appropriate.

  3. Lack pancreatic autoimmunity
  4. Lower insulin requirements than someone with T1DM would have
  5. Positive family history of diabetes
