Q

What is the treatment for diabetic kidney disease?

A
  • first line: ACEI or ARB (ACEI decreases progression to albuminuria by 55%)
  • if ACEI or ARB maxed, may add on these therapies to achieve BP goal: diuretics, CCB, BB
  • Restrict dietary protein 0.8g/kg body weight/day
  • Optimize blood pressure and glycemic control

24
Q

Foot Exam: Vascular Inspection

A

Palpation of dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial pulses and ankle-brachial index (ABI < 0.9 is consistent with peripheral arterial disease)

25
Q

When should neuropathy be treated?

A

if pt is experiencing symptoms

26
Q

What is the treatment for Neuropathy?

A
  • Pregabalin (Lyrica)
  • Duloxetine (Cymbalta)
  • Tapentadol
27
Q

What are the prevention measures from neuropathy ?

A
  • glycemic controls

- foot care education

28
Q

Symptoms of Retinopathy

A
– Blurry vision 
– Floaters 
– Fluctuating vision 
– Distorted vision 
– Dark areas in vision 
– Poor night vision 
– Impaired color vision 
– Partial or total loss of vision
29
Q

Screening requirements for Retinopathy

A
  • DM II: at diagnosis AND after BS stabilizes

- DM I: within 5 years of diagnosis

30
Q

Explain the monitoring for Retinopathy

A
  • if no retinopathy, repeat every 2 years
  • if retinopathy present, repeat every year
  • if retinopathy worsens, monitor more frequently
31
Q

What are the goals for Retinopathy?

A
  • Prevent the progression of diabetic retinopathy and vision loss
  • provides an opportunity to treat when vision loss can still be prevented or reversed
32
Q

What is the treatment for Retinopathy?

A
  • Laser photocoagulation surgery

- Anti–vascular endothelial growth factor injections (Anti VEGF)

33
Q

Retinopathy: Laser photocoagulation surgery

A

– Disadvantages: Destructive, peripheral vision loss, night vision loss, does not restore vision loss
– Advantages: less expensive, 1 or 2 treatments

34
Q

Retinopathy: Anti VEGF

A

– Drugs: Ranibizumab, Bevacizumab, Aflibercept
– Advantages: Highly effective, superior visual outcomes in head to head trials
– Disadvantages: Expensive, invasive, fear

35
Q

What are the prevention measures from HTN?

A
  • BP control
  • glycemic control
  • improved lipid profile

A

at every routine visit

37
Q

A
  • target

- <140/<90 mmHg per ADA and JNC 8 Recommendations

38
Q

What are lifestyle treatments that can help in blood pressure reduction

A
