  1. What’s New in Diabetes Education? Presented by Lisa Kiblinger, RN, MS, CDE Vicki Karnes, RN Georgia Free Clinic Network Conference May 3, 2010

  2. Objectives Following the program the learner will be able to: • Recognize one new teaching skill • Identify weight based insulin doses • Discuss resources available for patients in our community

  3. Knowledge Deficit • There is a knowledge deficit in diabetes treatment. It is called clinical inertia. • People at risk for diabetes should be identified early, treated aggressively and monitored regularly. • Diabetes out-of-control exists in 90% of patients under the care of a practitioner. • Diabetes in control reduces risks to near normal levels.

  4. Who Should be Tested and When? • Adults without symptoms who are overweight or obese and have one or more additional risk factors for diabetes. • Without Risk Factors: Testing should begin at age 45. • If results of testing are normal, repeat at least every 3 years.

  5. Identifying Those at Risk • Body Mass Index kg/m2 > 25 * Caucasian, Hispanic, African- American > 23 Asian American > 26 Pacific Islanders • Age over 45 *Note:Weight shown on the American Diabetes Association handouts for the public indicates risk begins at a BMI of 30.

  6. Risk Factors for Diabetes • Family history ↑ • Gestational diabetes ↑ • Obesity / abdominal fat distribution ↑ • Sedentary lifestyle ↑ • Smoking ↑ • Low birth weight or high birth weight ↑ • Depression ↑ • Antipsychotic medications ↑

  7. Additional Risk Factors Dietary Considerations • Saturated fats ↑ • Glycemic load ↑ • Cereal fiber / whole grain ↓ • Low fat dairy products ↓ • High fructose corn syrup ↑ • Sugar-sweetened beverages ↑ • Alcohol ↑

  8. Psychosocial Risk Factors • Poverty • Education • Food insecurity • Food environment • Neighborhood factors

  9. New Tool for Diagnosis 2010 ADA Clinic Practice Guideline Hemoglobin A1c > 6.5 % = Diabetes Hemoglobin A1c 5.7 to 6.4% = Pre-diabetes Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) and Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) values remain the same. Note: Health plans may not cover the Hemoglobin A1c blood test. Home test kits are available for $9 (results in 5 days) or $29 (results in 5 min.)

  10. Can Diabetes be Prevented? Exercise 150 minutes/week Limit Saturated Fat Increase Fiber Increase Fruits/Vegetables Limit Alcohol Moderate Weight Loss: 7 to 10%

  11. Motivational Interviewing • How do I get my smoking, drinking, obese, sedentary, vegetable-phobic patient to take better care of himself? • O.A.R.S. Strategies • Open-ended questions • Affirmation • Reflective listening • Summarize

  12. Conversation Maps InteractiveTeaching / Learning Style

  13. Glucose Control • Patient-driven • Food choices, portion size, exercise • Monitoring Goals:fasting < 130, 2 hrs after meal < 180 • Teach est. Avg.Glucose:A1c7%=154mg/dL • Obst. Sleep Apnea screening

  14. Insulin Types • Basal: Lantus, Levemir Humulin N, Novolin N • Bolus: Novolog, Humalog, Apidra (rapid) Novolin R, Humulin R(must wait 30 min. to eat) • Premixed doses: 70/30, 75/25, 50/50 (NPH / Regular or Rapid)

  15. Weight-Based Insulin Dosingin Type 1 Diabetes • In most patients the“Total Daily Dose”(TDD)of insulin can be calculated by weight: Weight in kg divided by 2 = TDD • Insulin Sensitivity Factor = 1700*/TDD ISF is the estimated point drop in BG per one unit of insulin. • Insulin to Carb (I:C) Ratio = 600*/TDD I:C ratio = grams of carb for 1 unit. If I:C is 15, then before 45 gram carb meal, 3 units of insulin is given. * When using rapid-acting insulin

  16. Monitoring Options for Low-income Individuals Monthly Cost of Test Strips *Twice daily when adjusting meds or BG higher than 200 mg/dl Calculations based on $20 cost for 50-strip box

  17. Learning How Actions Make a Difference: Testing in Pairs Monitor glucose before and after a specific meal or event. For example, before and 2 hrs after lunch. Write down the results. Do this for the same meal/ event for 7 days. Notice how levels changed. What can be learned fromthe changes?

  18. Monitoring FrequencyType 1 Diabetes • Basal/Bolus Insulin Regimen • Bolus Units based on Carb Count or Sliding Scale

  19. Additional Monitoring Frequency • have symptoms of hypoglycemia • have infection or on a sick day • travelling or are under stress • undergoing adjustments in medication, nutrition and/or physical activity • entering a new life experience, i.e. going away to school, starting a new job • pregnant or planning to become pregnant
