L2: Managment of DM Flashcards
Goals of TTT of DM
Target of TTT in DM
- Normal glucose levels
- Weight Loss
- Improve blood lipid profile
- Lower blood pressure
what are glycemic targets?
- HbA1C < 7 %
- Fasting blood glucose 80 - 130 mg/dL
- Postprandial blood glucose < 180 mg/dL
Weigth target in DM
- Body mass index <25 kg/m2
- Waist : hip ratio men <0.95 - women <0.8
what is Diabetes Remission?
Return of HbA1c <6.5%
Characters of Diabetes Remission
- Spontaneously or following intervention
- Persist for 3 months
- In absence of glucose lowering pharmacotherapy
Lipid profile targets in DM
Blood Pressure target in DM
130/80 mmHg (but depends on age, diabetes duration, complication risk)
Aspects of Therapeutic Lifestyle Modification in DM
- Weight loss (for overweight and obese patients)
- Physical Activity
- Diet
Weight loss
(Therapeutic Lifestyle Modification)
Reduce by 5% to 10%
Physical activity
(Therapeutic Lifestyle Modification)
150 min/week of moderate-intensity exercise (e.g., brisk walking) plus flexibility and strength training.
Diet
(Therapeutic Lifestyle Modification)
CHO eating in DM
healthful carbohydrates (fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains)
Fat Eating in DM
- Healthful fats → containing polyunsaturated fatty acids (nuts, avocado, certain plant oils, fish)
- Limit saturated fats → (butter, fatty red meats, tropical plant oils, fast foods) and trans fat
Protein Eating in DM
- Consume protein in foods with low saturated fats (fish, egg whites, beans)
- there is → no need to avoid animal protein
- Avoid or limit processed meats
Micronutrients in DM
- Routine supplementation is not necessary → a healthful eating meal plan can generally provide sufficient micronutrients
- Vitamin supplements → recommended to patients at risk of insufficiency or deficiency
However, Vit B is good for neuropathy associated with DM
What are Categories of Oral Hypoglycemic Agents?
Insulin Sensitizers
- Biguanides (Metformin)
- Thiazolidinedione (TZDs)
Insulin Secretagogues
- Sulphonylurea ( Long acting secretagogues )
- Non-Sulphonylurea secretagogues ( Glinides ) ( Short acting secretagogues )
- Glucagon like peptide 1 receptors agonists ( GLP1 agonists ) (Injectable)
- Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors ( DPP4 inhibitors )
what is an example of Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors?
(Acarbose)
what is the corner stone in treatment of type 2 diabetes in all guidelines?
Metformin
MOA of different Oral Hypoglycemic Agents
MOA of Metformin
What is an example of Biguanides?
Metformin
Advantages of Metformin
Cheap
No weight gain
No episodes of hypoglycemia
Beneficial cardiovascular outcomes
SE of Metformin
- Gastro-intestinal → like flatulence and diarrhea
- Fatal lactic acidosis. → rarely
CI of Metformin
- diabetic patients with renal and/or hepatic disease
- diabetic ketoacidosis
Dose of Metformin
- Starting dose : 500 mg taken once daily with breakfast for one week
- Up-titration of the dose should be continued as required
- Maximum: 2 g per day.
when not to give Metformin (GFR)?
if the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is <30 ml/min/1.73 m2.
Members of Thiazolidinediaones
Pioglitazone → 15- 45 mg/day & Rosiglitazone
MOA of Thiazolidinediaones
Advantages of Thiazolidinediaones
No or minimal hypoglycemia
Expected HbA1c change (%) → 0.5 – 1.4
Improves lipid profile
SE of Thiazolidinediaones
1) Weight gain
2) Edema both L.L
3) Osteoporosis especially in postmenopausal females.
CI of Thiazolidinediaones
1) Pregnancy
2) Advanced heart failure
3) Hepatic cell failure
4) Renal failure
5) Risk of bladder cancer
what type of secretagogues are Sulfonylureas?
Long acting
Examples of Sulfonylureas
MOA of Sulfonylureas
Advantages of Sulfonylureas
- Expected HbA1c change (%)→ 1.0 – 2.0 ( Effective reduction of HA1C )
- Rapidly effective
- ↓ Microvascular risk
- Not Expensive
SE of Sulfonylureas
- Hypoglycemia
- Weight gain
- Blunting of myocardial ischemia
CI of Sulfonylureas
Pregnancy
Type 1 diabetes.
Patients with acute or end-stage liver disease
Patients with end-stage renal diseases
