Insulin • The β-cells secrete 40 to 50 units of insulin daily. • Endocrine sensors located in the GI tract signal the pancreas. • Parenteral nutrition dose not stimulate the early insulin secretion. (∵dextrose bypasses the GI tract)
Table 1 Metabolic effects of insulin and its action on specific enzymes or proteins
Glucagon • The liver is the main site of glucagon action. • In the fasting, blood glucose is maintained via hepatic gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. • Lipolysis and ketogenesis are also stimulated by glucagon.
Catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine • Catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine act in the periphery to stimulate muscle glycogenolysis.
During stress or illness, hyperglycemia may cause by: Stress、illness ↓ Cytokines、Inflammatory mediators ↓ Increased gluconeogenesis、 Insulin resistance ↓ hyperglycemia

Diet and diabetes: the energy substrate controversy • Monounsaturated fatty acids • Alternate carbohydrate sources
Monounsaturated fatty acids • 30% of total calories as MUFA have improvement in lipoprotein and glycemic control in DM patients. • High MUFA diet and low GI diet had similar impact on PC glucose in IGT patients.
Alternate carbohydrate sources • Fructose • Modifying starch • Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) • Induced-viscosity complexes • Natural glucose-lowering agents
Fructose (GI of fructose=19) • Small dose (5~10g) : eg, a piece of fruit beneficial for reducing the acute. postprandial glycemic response. (fig 1.) • Large dose (50g) : increase serum TG. malabsorptive diarrhea and intolerance. only small dose had the effect of lower glucose level.

Modifying starch • Slowly digested • Raw corn starch: cannot be added to liquid formulas. (∵high temp. gelatinization, increase digestibility) • OSA-esrerified starch (1-octenyl succinic anhydride-esterified starch): reduced PC glucose. (heat stable, slowly digested)
FOS (Fructooligosaccharides) • Not absorbed from the small intestine no increase in PC glucose. • As a prebiotic for healthy bacteria in the large intestine.
Induced-viscosity complexes • Lower glycemia similar to soluble dietary fibers. • Outside the body: free-flowing, low-viscosity solution • In the GI tract: increase viscosity. (∵acid and amylase) • Can reduce the tube clogging that occurs with fiber-containing formulas.
Natural glucose-lowering agents • American ginseng • Organic acid (lactic and acetic acids) • Fenugreek seeds • Clausena anisata extract
Management of blood glucose and diabetes in critically ill patient receiving enteral feeding. 1.Mechanics of glucose regulation 2.Evaluation of energy source ˇ3.Selection of enteral formulas and infusion routes 4.Glycemic control in patients receiving tube feeding
Enteral formula selection • Most “standard” polymeric formulas can be used. • For critically ill patients, total calorie may be more importance. • Overfeeding should be avoid. (↑insulin requirement) • Special formulas specific for DM patients. (↑MUFA, ↓CHO) • Most formulas do not contain >15g fiber per liter. (viscosity↑)
Enteral formula infusion: continuous vs intermittent feeding • Continuous feeding allows for improved blood glucose control. • Postpyloric feeding be used in patient who have a history of gastroparesis or are at risk for developing delayed gastric emptying. • Postpyloric feedings should be initiated on a continuous basis.

Goals for glycemic control during enteral feeding • As close to normal as possible. • Hyperglycemia ↑risk of infection. • A prospective, randomized, controlled trial comparing standard care vs tight blood glucose control in surgical ICU patients showed that morbidity and mortality were significantly reduced if blood glucose goals were set at 110 mg/dL or lower. • Avoidance of hypoglycemia is important.
Serum glucose goals • Critically ill patients : 80~120 mg/dl • Non-critically ill patients: 100~150 mg/dl
Effects of hypoglycemia(≦60mg/dl) • Adrenergic: sweating, palpitations, anxiety, tachycardia, hunger. • Neuroglycopenic: headache, visual change, seizures, confusion.
Treatment of hypoglycemia in hospitalized adult patients treated with insulin or oral diabetic agents I. Presumed symptomatic hypoglycemia should be treated without waiting to check plasma or blood glucose level. A. if the patient is able to swallow safely, administer ~15g of CHO in one of the following forms: 1. 5 sugar packets dissolved in 4 ounces (1/2cup) of water. 2. 4 ounces (1/2cup) of fruit juice. 3. glucose oral gel (glucose 15) 15g orally must be used for those receiving Acarbose (Precose) or Miglitol (Glyset). B. if the patient has a functioning feeding tube, administer one of the following by feeding tube: 1. 4 ounces (1/2cup) of fruit juice. (not orange juice or other pulp-containing juice) 2. 5 sugar packets dissolved in 4 ounces (1/2cup) of water.
Treatment of hypoglycemia in hospitalized adult patients treated with insulin or oral diabetic agents (續) C. if the patient is not able to take oral feeding or is NPO: 1. if IV access is available, administer D50W 25ml (12.5g). 2. if no IV access is present, administer Glucagon 1mg by subcutaneous injection. After glucogen treatment, for those patients who are not NPO, provide a snack in order to prevent subsequent hypoglycemia. D. contact either the primary service or the diabetes consulting service, whichever is responsible for the patient’s diabetes management.
Treatment of hypoglycemia in hospitalized adult patients treated with insulin or oral diabetic agents (續) II. For treatment of asympomatic hypoglycemia (glucose ≦60mg/dl), follow steps A through C above. III. Glucose monitoring after treatment: measure reflectance meter glucose in 15 minutes. If glucose level is not >80mg/dl, repeat the treatment outlined above. Recheck the glucose level in 15 minutes. Repeat further treatment (and glucose checks at 15 minutes intervals) until the glucose level is >80mg/dl.
hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia: common causes • Hyperglycemia: Illness/infection, Overfeeding, Medications, Insufficient insulin, Volume depletion • Hypoglycemia: excess insulin dose, severe stress, renal dysfunction, severe hepatitis, sepsis, diabetic gastroparesis
Glycemic management during enteral feeding • Type 1 DM patient: Basal insulin should be provided with CHO, even during periods of no oral intake. • Renal dysfunction patients: OHA may be contraindicated in critical. • 50% of preillness insulin requirements during initiation of feeding. • “Sliding scale” + basal insulin
Insulin preparation pharmacokinetics SQ, subcutaneous
Conclusion • Special formulas for DM have not shown improved outcomes when compared with standard formulas. • Close monitoring and judicious use of insulin are keys to maintaining control and avoiding complications.
