Diabetes Complications Flashcards
Long term complications of diabetes
-microvascular disease
-macrovascular disease
-periodontal diseases
-
Microvascular disease
-diabetic kidney disease nephropathy
-ocular complications
-neuropathy
Macrovascular disease
-cardiovascular disease
-stroke
-peripheral vascular disease
Diabetic kidney disease (neuropathy)
-proteinuria
-low GFR
-inc BP
-20-40% of pt w DM
-major cause of death in type 1
kidney disease monitoring
-screen for microalbuminuria
-optimize glucose control
-optimize blood pressure
microalbuminuria screening
-annual test to detect early kidney damage
-test all T2DM pt and pt w T1DM for over 5 years
-UACR and eGFR
goal UACR
<30mg/g
-urinary-albumin-to-creatinine ration
if UACR > 300mg/g or eGFR < 60mL/min/1.73m
-monitor twice a year
-ACEI or ARB tx (not for pregnant pts)
Optimizing glucose control in T2DM + kidney disease
- SGLT2I w evidence of low CKD progression is eGFR > 20mL and UACR > 200mg/g or if UACR is normal (jardiance)
- GLP-1 w CVD benefit if SGLT2 not tolerated/contraindicated
Optimizing BP control in diabetes w kidney disease
-goal: < 130/80
-dont discontinue ACEI or ARB for small increases in SCr (<30%)
-consider SGLT2, GLP-1, or nonsteroidal mc receptor antagonist
-goal is 30% reduction if UACR > 300 mg/g
-limit protein intake to 0.8mg/kg/day for non-dialysis pt
Ocular Complications (microvasc)
-blurred vision, cataracts, glaucoma
-retinopathy (most common)
-appears 15-20 years
Retinopathy
-most common cause of blindness
-pregnancy can make it worse
-appears in 15-20 years
-get eye exams
Retinopathy tx
-optimize glycemic control, BP, and lipid management
Retinopathy screening
-T1DM within 5 years of diagnosis
-T2DM at diagnosis
-exam every 1-2 years
-annually if retinopathy present
Neuropathy
-peripheral
-gastrointestinal
peripheral neuropathy tx
-annual monofilament test
-pregabalin, duloxetine, gabapentin
Gastrointestinal neuropathies
-gastroparesis
-diarrhea/constipation
-fecal incontinence
other microvascular complications
-urinary retention
-postural hypotension (drop BP when moving)
-erectile dysfunction
tx: optimize blood sugar
Macrovascular complications
-Artherosclerotic CVD
-heart failure
Atherosclerotic CVD
-coronary heeart disease
-cerebrovasc disease
-peipheral arterial disease
-leading cause of death in type 2 pt
Heart failure
-major cause of death
-hospitilizations are twice as high in DM pt
ASCVD or HF tx
-optimize tx of DM
-SGLT2
-GLP-1
CVD monitoring
-assess risk factors annually
-obesity, HTN, HLD, smoking, CKD
-metabolic syndrome: obesity, htn, hld
ADA BP goal (same as ACC)
< 130/80 for T2 or T1
-110-135/85 for DM + pregnancy
-<140 SBP ok for elderly
HTN tx in T2DM
- ACEIs or ARBs
-slow progression of proteinuria
-DO NOT USE BOTH in one pt
-use at max tolerated dose - HCTZ, chlorthalidone, amlodipine, MRAs next
