DIABETES MELLITUS Management
IMPORTANT POINTS:IN HISTORY, EXAMINATION, INVESTIGATIONS AND TREATMENT • Control: good / poor? Treatment? • Complications • Cardiovascular risk factors
HISTORY: special points • Introduction: ethnic group and age • Presenting complaint • E.g. admitted for control of diabetes • History of presenting complaint • Polyuria, polydypsia……blood glucose values, also indicates control, screening • Complications – systemic review esp. CVS, Neuro, Eye, Renal, Skin, • Drug history – What medication? Duration, Side effects? Compliance? • P/H/O complications esp. CVS, wound infections • F/H/O type 2 DM, IHD, CVA, HBP • Social history: smoking, diet, exercise, financial aspects
EXAMINATION: special points • General examination • skin infections, edema, waist • CVS – • BP, postural hypotension, JVP, cardiomegaly • peripheral pulses, bruits • RS • Infections - TB • Abdomen • Fatty liver, ascites with nephrotic syndrome • CNS • Ophthalmoscopy and cranial nerves • Mononeuritis • Amyotrophy • Autonomic (postural hypotension) • Peripheral neuropathy • Muscle wasting • Early sensory signs: vibration sense, absent jerks • Romberg’s test • FEET • Skin, bact / fungal infections, gangrene, pulses, neuropathy, ulcers, osteomyelitis,
INVESTIGATIONS • Assess glycemic control • Extent of complications • Risk factors for CAD
INVESTIGATIONS • Assess glycemic control: blood glc levels, HbA1c, fructosamine • Extent of complications: ECG, A/B, Renal, CXR, ECHO, • Risk factors for CAD: BP, lipids, metabolic syndrome
PRINCIPLES OF TREATMENT • Good glycemic control • Prevent or treat complications • Manage risk factors for CAD
PRINCIPLES OF TREATMENTTYPE 2 DM • Good glycemic control • Prevent or treat complications • Manage risk factors for CAD
GLYCAEMIC CONTROL • A healthy lifestyle • OHD • Insulin
HEALTHY LIFE STYLE • Healthy eating • Weight control • Exercise • Smoking and alcohol
HEALTHY LIFE STYLE • Healthy diet • Exercise • Weight control: BMI <23 kg / m2 • Smoking and alcohol
DIET • Carbohydrates • 60% of calories • Low glycaemic foods preferred • Restrict refined sugars and high fiber • Non-nutrient sweeteners • Avoid alcohol • Fats • <30% of calories • <7% saturated • <200 g of cholesterol • Avoid trans-fats Eat fish twice a week
EXERCISE • Control of blood sugar • Increases insulin sensitivity (danger of hypo) • Weight loss • Reduces body fat and maintains muscle bulk • Lowers blood pressure • Cardiovascular fitness
DRUGS Decreased absorption Increased peripheral glc uptake Decreased hepatic glc output Stimulate insulin release
OHD Decreased absorption Acarbose Increased peripheral glc uptake Decreased hepatic glc output Metformin Pioglitazon Stimulate insulin release Sulphonyluria, Repaglinide
OHD • Biguanides: metformin • Sulphonyluria: glyclazide, glipizide • Thiozolidinediones: pioglitazone • Alpha glucosidase inhibitor: acarbose • Non-sulphonyluria secretagogues: repaglinide
DRUG THERAPY Asymptomatic Life-style modification Drugs
DRUG THERAPY Asymptomatic Metformin Life-style modification Drugs
DRUG THERAPY Asymptomatic Symptomatic High HbA1C High FPG High RPG Life-style modification Drugs
DRUG THERAPY TYPE 2 D M • Asymptomatic Type 2 DM ? Metformin • Symptomatic Type 2 DM • HbA1c >8% • FBS > 11.1 • RBG > 14.0 TYPE 1 DM • Insulin
TYPE 2 DM Obese T2DM: • Metformin • If intolerant give acarbose or TZD • HbA1C>10%: combination of metformin and gliclazide (sulphonyluria) Non-obese T2DM: • Metformin or sulphonyluria (gliclazide)
GOALS OF GLYCEMIC CONTROL • FBS 4.4-6.1 • Non-fasting 4.4-8.0 • HbA1C <6.5%
Mono-therapy • Combination of metformin + gliclazide OR metformin + acarbose / TZDs (esp in obese) • Then add third drug • Add insulin
ADD INSULIN • If not reaching target after 3 months of optimum combination therapy (metformin, gliclazide, acarbose, pioglitazone) • FBG> 7.0 mmol/L • HbA1c>6.5% • Maximum doses of OHD
INSULIN • Rapid-acting analogues • Fast-acting insulin (short-acting) • Intermediate-acting insulin • Long-acting insulin • Very long-acting analogues • Lancet 2006;367:847
INSULINS • Rapid-acting analogues: insulin lispro, Humalog (4-6 hours) • Fast-acting: soluble insulin, Actrapid, Humulin R (6-10 hours) • Intermediate-acting: (10-16 hours) • isophane; NPH, Humulin N • Humulin L (Lente insulin) • Long-acting insulin: Ultralente 24 hours • Very long-acting analogues: (24 hours) • Insulin glargine (Lantus) • Insulin detemir (Levemir) • Lancet 2006;367:847
INSULIN REGIMES • Premixed (Mixtard) b.d. (30% soluble + 70% isophane) • Before meals rapid or short, with bedtime intermediate or long acting analog • Bedtime Long-acting or intermediate insulin, day time sulphonyluria + metformin
INSULIN REGIMES • Basal-bolus (T1DM) • Insulin pumps (continuous subcutaneous) • Twice daily mixtard (Often for T2DM) • 2/3 of total dose in morning (2/3 long acting = e.g. 30:70 Mixtard) • 1/3 of total dose in evening (1/2 long acting = e.g. 50;50 Mixtard) • Lancet 2006;367:847
COMPLICATIONS OF TREATMENT • Hypoglycaemia • Hypoglycaemia unawareness
NEWER DRUGS IN TYPE 2 DM • Exenatide • Stimulates insulin secretion • Glucagon-like-peptide • Given S.C
PREVENT COMPLICATIONS OF DIABETES • Nephropathy • Neuropathy • Retinopathy • Cardiovascular: IHD, CVA/TIA. PVD • Diabetic foot
PREVENT COMPLICATIONS OF DIABETES • Good glycaemic control • Screen for complications • Action to prevent specific complications
PREVENT COMPLICATIONS OF DIABETES • Good glycaemic control • Screen: regular BP, lipids, eye and renal check up • Action to prevent specific complications: • ACEI or ARBs in early renal involvement • Aspirin if IHD, or high risk of IHD (microalbuminuria, metabolic syndrome, >35, high-risk ethnic groups, family history) • Control hypertension (macrovascular, retinopathy and nephropathy) • Treat hyperlipidaemia (macrovascular and nephropathy) • Stop smoking (IHD, CVA, TIA, PVD) • Diabetic foot
CONTROL HBP AND HYPERLIPIDAEMIA • LDL <2.6 • TG <1.7 • HDL >1.1 • BP <130/80 • BP <120/75 (with renal impairment or gross proteinuria)
