Peds Flashcards
What can kids w/ T1DM do to reduce risk of HYPO before, during, & after exercise?
- do not exercise if BG <90
- have CHO easily acccessable before exercise
- 10-15 g CHO snack or 0.5-1 g CHO/kg/hour (30-60 g)
- decrease prandial insulin at meal/snack before exercise
- temporarily suspend basal insulin or reduce rate by 10-50% for 1-2 hrs
- eat bedtime snack
- decrease basal by 20% after exercise
- monitor BG before, during, and after exercise
Ideal BG range for T1DM kids before exercise
90-250
When should T1DM kid not exercise?
BG >350 w/ moderate to large ketones
when hypoglycemic
when B-OHB >1.5 mmol
When to first assess kid w/ T1DM for DM distress?
Start @ age 7-8
When to screen for ED in T1DM kids?
10-12 years old initially use DEPS (diabetes eating problem survey)
When should kids have time alone w/ HC provider?
Starting @ age 12
What is the physical activity goal for kids w/ T1DM & T2DM?
- 60 minutes MIPA/VIPA/day
- 3 days/week muscle & bone strengthening exercise (vigorous) such as jumping
When should preconception counseling for girls start?
@ puberty
What is appropriate WL goal for T2DM kid?
7-10%
What are the medication MGMT recommendations for kids w/ T2DM?
- IF A1c <8.5%, not in ketosis, no s/s of hyper- start Metformin
IF A1c 8.5% and BG >250, start basal insulin + Metformin
IF high A1c, s/s of hyper and ketosis/ketoacidosis, sub Q insulin or insulin drip; do not give metformin until metabolic derangement resolves
Can slowly taper insulin over 2-6 weeks by decreasing dose 10-30% every few days if goals are met at home
How often should kids w/ T1DM monitor?
6-10x/day pre-meal before bed before driving, exercising when suspecting a low BG
How often should A1c be checked in kids w/ T2DM?
q 3 months
What are A1c goals in T1DM kids?
<7% for most
<6.5% may be appropriate if it can be done w/o DM distress, hypo, or undue burden; may be feasible during honeymoon period
<7.5% if unable to recognize or verbalize hypo, hypo unaware, lack access to analog insulin, unable to check BG often
<8% if severe hypo, low life expectancy
What are A1c goals in T2DM kids?
<7% for most
<6.5% if on oral meds, if they’ve lost weight intentionally, shorter duration DM, less B-cell dysfunction
<7.5% if at risk for hypo
What autoimmune conditions are of upmost concern for T1DM kids?
When and how to test?
Thyroid- check when clinically stable then q 1-2 years
Celiac- check at dx, 2 years after dx, and 5 years after dx
If IgA +, confirm with bowel biopsy before starting restrictive diet
How often should BP be checked in kids?
How to dx elevated BP vs. HTN
at each visit
confirm elevated value 3x on separate days before dx
elevated >90% if <13; >120-129/<80
HTN >95% if <13; >130/>80
How to treat elevated BP vs HTN in kids?
Elevated- diet, PA, WL x 3-6 months, if no improvement start meds
HTN- start ACE or ARB
