c) Oral glucose tolerance test - 2 hours value of over 11 mmol/L
d) HbA1c of over 48 mM (6.5%) - not excluded if under this amount.

102
Q

What is the diagnostic definition of impaired fasting glucose?

A

Fasting glucose of 5.6-6.9 mmol/L

103
Q

What is the diagnostic definition of impaired glucose tolerance?

A

104
Q

A

Lifestyle changes - diet, exercise
Structured education program
Control blood pressure

105
Q

How would you medically manage the blood glucose of someone who has just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes?

A

Metformin - 500mg BD after food

Dose can be titrated up from 250 mg originally

106
Q

How does metformin work (broadly)?

A

It sensitizes cells to insulin and promotes weight loss

107
Q

Can metformin use lead to a hypoglycaemic event?

A

Theoretically no because it only sensitises the body to insulin that would otherwise be there rather than actually increasing inappropriate amount of insulin or insulin equivalents.

108
Q

What are the side effects of metformin?

A

Abdominal pain
Nausea
Diarrhoea
Lactic acidosis

109
Q

In what group of patient should metformin be avoided?

A

Renal failure patients (those with a eGFR of under 36 ml/min)

110
Q

Why should metformin be avoided in renal failure patients?

A

Because of the risk of lactic acidosis

111
Q

As well as starting on metformin, what other management will a recently diagnosed type 2 diabetic need?

A 
Lifestyle advice - diet and exercise
Statins
Control BP
Yearly retinal screening
Foot care
State a target for the HbA1c
Teach about capillary glucose analysis
112
Q

What is the target HbA1c for a type 2 diabetic?

A

Less than 6.5% (48 mmol/mol)

113
Q

What might make you decide to change the blood glucose controlling medication regime in a type 2 diabetic currently on metformin?

A

16 weeks after starting medication the HbA1c is over 53 mmol/mol (7%)

114
Q

What class of drug might you choose to give a type 2 diabetic if you decided that metformin wasn’t working well enough?

A

Sulphonylurea OD

115
Q

Name 4 examples of sulphonylureas.

A 
Gliclazide
Glipizide
Glipenclamide
Glycopyramide
Glibornuride
Glimepiride
116
Q

How do sulphonylureas work (broadly)?

A

Stimulates insulin release by inhibiting ATP sensitive K channels.

117
Q

What are the side effects of sulphonylurea?

A

Hypoglycaemia
Skin rashes
Weight gain
Renal impairment (applies only to those not excreted by the liver)

118
Q

What are the drug interactions involved with sulphonylurea?

A

The drug interaction is caused by the fact that sulphonylurea binds to circulating albumin and may therefore displace or be displaced by other drugs that compete for the same binding spot. One such drug is warfarin.

119
Q

If sulphonylurea was causing a problem in terms of hypoglycaemia or weight gain in a type 2 diabetic, what might you consider changing them to (in addition to their metformin)?

A

DPP-4 inhibitor/Gliptins

120
Q

How do DPP-4 inhibitors work?

A

They inhibit the breakdown of GLP-1. GLP-1 is an incretin that increases insulin release and inhibits release of glucagon. They also reduce appetite.

121
Q

Can DPP-4 inhibitors cause hypoglycaemia?

A

No. GLP-1 is only released when you eat so will correspond to glucose levels rising in the blood.

122
Q

Name the 2 DPP-4 inhibitors approved in Europe.

A

Sitagliptin

Vildagliptin

123
Q

What are the adverse effects associated with DPP-4 inhibitors such as sitagliptin?

Headache
Nausea
Heart failure
Skin reactions
