Learning Objectives • Understand the significance of appropriate diabetes control. • Know how to manage type 1 diabetes to achieve adequate blood sugars during school hours. • Recognize how to utilize monitoring devices to assist with diabetes management during school hours. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/
Criteria for Diagnosis of Diabetes 1) 2) 3) 4) Hemoglobin A1c ≥ 6.5% OR Fasting plasma glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL OR 2 hour plasma glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL during an OGTT OR Random plasma glucose ≥ 200 mg/dL ADA. II. Classification and Diagnosis of Diabetes. Diabetes Care 2015; 38(suppl 1):S9. Table 2.1.
Types of Diabetes • Type 1 • Type 2 • Gestational • Genetic defects of β-cell function (MODY, mitochondrial, neonatal) • Genetic defects of insulin action • Genetic defects of insulin receptor (Donahue, Rabson-Mendenhall, type A insulin resistance) • Defects of exocrine pancreas (CFRD, pancreatitis, hemochromatosis) • Endocrinopathies(Cushings, acromegaly, pheochromocytoma, etc) • Drug induced (glucocorticoids, β-agonists, pentamidine) • Infections (rubella, CMV) ADA. Diagnosis and Classification of Diabetes Mellitus. Diabetes Care 2014; 37(suppl 1). Table 1.
Type 1 Diabetes • Autoimmune destruction of pancreatic -cell • Can occur at any age https://www.niddk.nih.gov/
Type 1 Diabetes • Pancreas unable to produce insulin • Insulin is necessary for normoglycemia Presenting signs/symptoms: • Polyuria, Polydipsia, Polyphagia • Nocturnal enuresis • Weight loss • Fatigue, weakness • Blurry vision • Ketoacidosis: abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, mental status changes

Causes of Type 1 Diabetes Honeymoon Phase Time
Epidemiology • 200,000 people under the age of 20 years old have Type 1 diabetes. • Between 2011-2012, 17,900 children/adolescents under the age of 20 were diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. • There was a 21% increase in people diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes between 2001 and 2009 under the age of 20. • Among people under the age of 20, non-Hispanic whites had the highest rates of new diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes.

Insulin Dosing • Insulin Sensitivity Factor (ISF) or Correction Factor (CF): # of points 1 unit of insulin will drop BG • Insulin-to-Carb Ratio or Carb Ratio (ICR): # of grams of carbohydrates 1 unit of insulin will cover • Goal Range or Target Blood Glucose (BG): All corrections should aim for a BG in this range.
Terminology Correction Dose – Bolus of insulin that is meant to correct an elevated BG down to the target amount. Coverage Dose – Bolus of insulin that is meant to stabilize a BG for the amount of carbohydrates eaten
Physician Orders • Correction Dose – 1:50 starting at 150 mg/dL • Correction Dose – 1:50 above 150 mg/dL Correction Factor Threshold for Insulin Threshold for insulin is at 200 NOT 150 Correction Factor BG Target
Physician Orders • BG Target: Either stated directly OR (Threshold for Dosing) – (ISF) • If BG Target is presented as a range, ok to use the midpoint as your ‘target number’
Correction Formula Measured Glc – BG Target ISF units of short-acting insulin = Correction Dose = 1:50 starting at 150 mg/dL • Measured BG 336 • 336 – 100 • 50 • = 4.4 = 4 units
Adding in Carb Coverage Insulin to Carb Ratio = 1:15 60 g this meal 60/15 = 4 units
Total Pre-Meal Insulin Dose Correction Dose + Carb Coverage Dose 4 units + 4 units = 8 units
