One-third (33.33%)
What is the recommended screening strategy for LIVER FIBROSIS INpeople with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes in primary care?
Using the fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4)
Why would a screening strategy based only on elevated plasma aminotransferases miss most individuals with NASH?
It would miss clinically significant fibrosis

When should adults with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes be screened for liver fibrosis?
They should be screened even if they have normal liver enzymes
What does a negative FIB-4 result rule out regarding liver fibrosis?
A negative result rules out fibrosis
What additional risk assessmenttool is recommended for individuals with an indeterminate or high FIB-4?
Liver stiffness measurement or ELF blood test
What action should be taken for individuals at high risk for significant liver fibrosis?
They should be referred to a gastroenterologist or hepatologist
What is considered low risk and high risk levels for FIB-4 scores?
Low risk <1.3, high risk >2.67
What does liver stiffness measurement (LSM) <8.0 kPa indicate?
It indicates low risk for clinically significant fibrosis
What action is recommended if LSM is >12 kPa for people with diabetes?
They should be referred to a hepatologist
What is considered low risk in the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) test?
<7.7 in the ELF test is considered low risk
Is routine screening for coronary artery disease recommended in asymptomatic individuals?
No, routine screening is not recommended
What does A1C 8.5% correspond to in mmol/mol?
69 mmol/mol
What do the initials BGM represent in diabetes management?
Blood Glucose Monitoring
Expand CGM in the context of diabetes monitoring.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Define DKA in the diabetic context.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Expand GLP-1 as used in diabetes treatment.
Glucagon-Like Peptide 1
What does HHNK stand for in the realm of diabetes complications?
Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic Nonketotic Syndrome
Expand the abbreviation ‘MDI’ when related to diabetes treatment.
Multiple Daily Injections
According to the ADA position statement, who may consider metabolic surgery for Adolescents type 2 diabetes?
Adolescents with class 2 obesity, elevated A1C, and serious comorbidities.
What BMI threshold is recommended for considering metabolic surgery in adolescents with type 2 diabetes?
BMI?
PERCENTILE?
BMI >35 kg/m2 or 120% of 95th percentile for age and sex.
In which situations should metabolic surgery be considered for adolescents with type 2 diabetes as per the recommendation?
For those with elevated A1C and/or serious comorbidities despite lifestyle and pharmacologic intervention.
How many units of short- or rapid-acting insulin should be given for premeal glucose >250 mg/dL?
2 units
What should be done if more than 50% of premeal nger-stick values over 2 weeks are above the goal?
Increase the dose of medication
For premeal glucose >350 mg/dL, how many units of short- or rapid-acting insulin should be given?
4 units

When should the screening for thyroid disease start in pediatric type 1 diabetes?
Soon after diagnosis
What follow-up frequency is recommended for thyroid disease screening in pediatric diabetes?
Every 1-2 years if normal
What is the treatment for hypertension in pediatric type 1 diabetes?
Optimize glycemia, lifestyle modification, ACE inhibitor or ARB therapy
How often should screening for hypertension be optimized in pediatric diabetes if normal?
Every 2 years if normal
What is the recommended LDL level in pediatric diabetes?
LDL <100 mg/dL
What classes of drugs are recommended for treating hypertension in individuals with diabetes?
ACE inhibitors, ARBs, dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, and thiazide-like diuretics.
When should serum creatinine and potassium levels be monitored after initiation of ACE inhibitor, ARB, MRA, or diuretic therapy?
Within 7-14 days after initiation and at least annually thereafter.
How is chronic kidney disease (CKD) classified based on GFR and albuminuria levels?
CKD is classified based on GFR categories (G1-G5) and albuminuria levels (A1-A3).
What lifestyle reassessments are recommended for individuals at regular risk? At each visit?
Healthy diet, physical activity, smoking cessation, weight management every 3-6 months.
What drug is suggested as first-line therapy in individuals with CKD, hypertension, and eGFR 30 or above?
4
SGLT2 inhibitors, metformin, RAS inhibitors at maximum tolerated dose, high-intensity statins.
What are the monitoring recommendations for prevalent CKD based on GFR and albuminuria?
Monitoring varies from once per year to every 1-3 months based on risks of CKD progression.
Which drug is recommended for individuals with ACR ≥30 mg/g and normal potassium to achieve clinical ASCVD risk?
Nonsteroidal MRA or dihydropyridine CCB or antiplatelet agents.
What test should be done if risk-based glycemic target and lipids are indicated?
Regular reassessment of glycemia, albuminuria, BP, CVD risk, and lipids.
What are the recommendations for screening and treatment of complications in pediatric type 2 diabetes?
Screening and treatment include monitoring blood pressure, foot exams, dilated fundoscopy, lipid profiles, AST and ALT levels, and more.
What is the goal for blood pressure management in pediatric type 2 diabetes?
The goal is to maintain blood pressure below the 90th percentile for age, sex, and height.
How often should individuals with pediatric type 2 diabetes have their blood pressure checked if it’s normal?
If normal, blood pressure should be checked annually.
What is the treatment approach for neuropathy in pediatric type 2 diabetes?
Optimize glycemia and provide referral to neurology if positive symptoms are present.
When should lifestyle modification be initiated in pediatric type 2 diabetes?
Lifestyle modification should be initiated at diagnosis for optimal management.
What should be the treatment strategy if LDL levels remain elevated in pediatric type 2 diabetes after 6 months?
Initiate statin therapy if LDL levels remain elevated above 130 mg/dL after 6 months.
