Q

What are the 2023 AACE guideline diabetes goals ?

A1C:
preprandial:
post prandial

A

2023 AACE guideliens

  1. A1C <6.5%
  2. pre prandial (FBG) < 110 mg/dL
  3. 2 hour post prandial: <140 mg/dL

If pt has any of these, less stringent a1c goal of 7-8% is recommended.
1.limited life expectancy
2. hx of severe hypoglycemia
3. hypoglycemia unawareness

  1. advanced renal disease
  2. pother severe comorbid conditions w. high risk for cvd event
  3. long t2d disease duration w. difficulty to attain an a1c goal
    prohibitive cognitive and or psychological status

Q

Complications-Centric Algorithm for Glycemic control
2023 AACE guidelines

Purpose

A

Pts. w. T2DM are at an increased risk of ASCVD and experience significant morbitdity and mortality (leading cause of mortality) despite contemporary therapy w. lipid modifying, antiplatelet, and antihypertensie agents.

need for a paradigm shift from an exclusively glucose-centric approach to a complications centric approach.

Q

in this class. when to use each guideline?

A

if patient is <65 years old and without clinical ASCVD:STRICT TARGETS
use AACE guidelines

If patient is >/= 65 years old OR <65 with clinical ASCVD: LOOSE TARGETS
use ADA guidelines

Q

according to AACE and ADA, what are the T1DM treatment

A

Treatment of T1DM

ADA and AACE recommendations

Multiple-dose insulin (MDI) 3-4 injections per day, or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (insulin pump)

educate patient on how to match prandial insulin based on carb intake, pre-meal blood glucose and anticipated

Pivotal TRials

DCCT:

UKPDS:

ACCORD TRIAL:

ADVANCE TRIAL:

VADT:

A

Pivotal Trials

(DCCT):
for type 1 diabetics. microvascular complications were reduced remarkably with intensive insulin treatment and A1C lowering and CV (macrovascular) benefit won’t be realized until years down the line

UKPDS

for type 2 diabetics. shows microvascular outcomes benefits are improved with intensive therapy.

ACCORD trial
focued individualize goals.intensive glycemic treatment strategyy was associated wuth a higher risk of death in older people with preexisting conditions.

ADVANCE. saw decreased ;microvssc with lower blood glucose, but did not see increase risk in mortality like accord

VADT Trial: saw decreased ;microvssc with lower blood glucose, but did not see increase risk in mortality like accord

DDP4-i

examples: the GLIPTINS
Sitagliptin (Januvia), Linagliptin (Tradjenta), Saxagliptin (Onglyza), Alogliptin, (Nesina)

Class: DDP4- inhibitors
Indication: As an adjunct to diet and exercise, to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes, as mono therapy or combination therapy

Mechanism of Action:inhibits DDP4 (responsible for inactivating incretin hormones) enzyme resulting in prolonged active incretin levels. incretin hormones (ex. GLUCAGON LIKE PEPTIDE (GLP-1), and Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP))suppresses glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying, reduces food intake, promotes Bets cell proliferation and insulin synthesis and secretion.

Effects of mechanism of Action: lowers pre and post prandial glucose

Adverse Effects: Nasopharyngitis, Upper respiratory infection, abdominal pain, diarrhea, N/V, edema, Pancreatitis, Heart Failure (saxagliptin and Aloglptin), hypoglycemia

Absolute Contraindications: hypersensitivity, DKA, T1DM

Warning/ Precautions: impaired renal and hepatic function, history of pancreatitis, HF (saxagliptin/ alogliptin), use with GLP1 receptor agonists

Drug Interactions:
Saxagliptin- conivaptan
Linagliptin- carbamezapine, Efavirenz, phenytoins, rifampin, St. John’s Wort
Sitagliptin and Alogliptin: nothing

Indication: As an adjunct to diet and exercise, to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes, as mono therapy or combination therapy

Mechanism of Action: inhibitsSodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) in the proximal tubules, which reduces reabsorption of filtered glucose form the tubular lumen and lowers the renal threshold for glucose.

Effects of mechanism of Action: reduction of filtered glucose reabsorption resulting in increased urinary excretion of glucose, thereby reducing plasma glucose concentrations.
