Case 1: New Onset Diabetes • 45-year-old male lawyer presents with “polys” and weight loss • Sees internist who recommends metformin (blood glucose 500, urine ketones small, BMI 26) • The lawyer does some internet reading and seeks a second opinion from diabetes specialist who was a high school classmate he has not seen for 27 years
Case 1: New Onset Diabetes • What type of diabetes does he have? • Type 1 • Type 1.5 • LADA • Type 2 • a, b or c
Case 1: New Onset Diabetes (cont’d) • What is your best diagnostic tests to determine the type of diabetes? • Islet cell antibody panel (ICA, anti-GAD) • Serum C-peptide • Genetic Typing • Other tests?
LADA: Detection and Impact of GAD Antibodies • GAD: Glutamic acid decarboxylase • Other antibodies • ICA, IA2, insulin autoantibodies • 7% of the patients screened in the Treat to Target Study had GAD antibodies • 95% of patients in the UKPDS who were anti-GAD or anti-ICA required insulin within 6 years UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) Group. Lancet. 1997;350:1288-1293. Shimada A et al. Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2003;1005:378-386.

Case 1: New Onset Diabetes • Sees me the following AM (BG 514, urine ketones small) • I concur with him that he has type 1 diabetes and metformin is not the treatment, insulin is • What is your initial treatment? • IV insulin • Basal/bolus therapy with MDI • Premixed • Insulin pump therapy
Options in Insulin Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes • Current • Multiple injections • Insulin pump (CSII)
Case 1: New Onset Diabetes (cont’d) • He asks about insulin pump therapy instead of multiple injections • I hospitalize him and tell him I will get back to him the following AM

Insulin Treatment in Type 2 Diabetes • Basal Treatment (NPH, Glargine, or Detemir) Start 10U and titrate; will need ~0.5U/kg; will lower A1C 1.5 to 2 points • Bolus Treatment Premeal Start at 3-5U premeal and titrate; will lower A1C 2 plus points • Premixed Therapy Start at 5U BID and titrate; will need ~0.8U/kg; will lower A1C 2 plus points • Basal Bolus Therapy
Case 1: New Onset Diabetes • If you decided on MDI, how do you determine his starting doses of insulin? • Based on trial and error • Based on BMI • Based on weight • Let the CDE decide
Starting Basal/Bolus Therapy • Starting insulin dose is based on weight • 0.2 x wgt. in lbs. or 0.5 x wgt. in kg • Bolus dose (aspart/lispro) = 20% of starting dose at each meal • Basal dose (glargine/NPH) = 40% of starting dose at bedtime
Starting MDI in 180-lb Person • Starting dose = 0.2 x 180 lb • 0.2 x 180 = 36 units • Bolus dose = 20% of starting dose at each meal • 20% of 36 units = 7 units ac (tid) • Basal dose = 40% of starting dose at bedtime • 40% of 36 units = 14 units at HS
Correction Bolus (Supplement) • Must determine how much glucose is lowered by 1 unit of short- or rapid-acting insulin • This number is known as the correction factor (CF) • Use the 1700 rule to estimate the CF • CF = 1700 divided by the total daily dose (TDD) • Ex: if TDD = 36 units, then CF = 1700/36 = ~50 • Meaning 1 unit will lower the BG ~50 mg/dl
220 – 10050 =2.4u Correction Bolus Formula Current BG - Ideal BG Glucose Correction Factor • Example: • Current BG: 220 mg/dl • Ideal BG: 100 mg/dl • Glucose Correction Factor: 50 mg/dl
Insulin Pens The first insulin pen was developed by NovoNordisk in 1926 but not launched until 1985. Since then, numerous pens, both disposable and reusable, have been developed adding to accuracy in dosing and convenience to insulin injection therapy.

Summary: The Benefits of CSII in Mimicking Normal Physiology • Nocturnal variability • Covering the dawn phenomenon • Exercise-related changes • Reducing basal insulin to normalize glucose • Normal eating patterns • Multiple boluses; dual bolus • Complex carbohydrates and dietary fat • Covering delayed carbohydrate absorption
Metabolic Advantages with CSII • Improved glycemic control • Better pharmacokinetic delivery of insulin • Less hypoglycemia than NPH based therapy • Less insulin required • Improved quality of life

Case 1: New Onset Diabetes • I see patient in the AM and tell him that 8 out of 10 patients polled yesterday would have started CSII at onset if offered the choice • Dr. Pozzilli, an expert in DM 1 prevention, also recommended CSII at onset if it was him or a close relative • Patient opted for CSII
Case 1: New Onset Diabetes on CSII • Patient extremely satisfied with his care • C-peptide 0.9 to 0.8 at 1 year, 0.5 to 0.7 at 3 years • Does not understand why everyone is not on CSII with optimal control
Current Pump Therapy Indications • Need to normalize blood glucose (BG) • A1C > 6.5% • Glycemic excursions • Hypoglycemia or hypoglycemia unawareness • Need for a flexible insulin regimen
