In diagnosis of DM, random BG value?
200mg/dL
Diabetes: Fasting plasma glucose: (FPG)
≥ 126 mg/dL; confirmed with 2nd test
Diabetes: 2-hour blood glucose
200 mg/dL; confirmed with 2nd test
Diabetes: A1C
6.5% (Normal 4-5.6%); conformed with 2nd test
Pre-Diabetes: Fasting plasma glucose: (FPG)
100-125 mg/dL (impaired fasting glucose – IFG)
Pre-Diabetes: 2-hour blood glucose
140-199 mg/dL (impaired glucose tolerance – IGT)
Pre-Diabetes: A1C
5.7- 6.4% (Normal 4-5.6%)
Formulas for expressing A1c as average glucose
eAG = 28.7 X A1c- 46.7
Goals of DM therapy: Preprandial glucose
70 - 130 mg/dL
Goals of DM therapy: Postprandial glucose
<180 mg/dL

< 130/80
Drugs of choice in DM for lowering BP
CE inhibitor or ARB

<150 mg/dL
Drugs of choice in DM for lowering lipids
Statins
What are the types of insulin for mealtime covereage
Rapid and short acting insulin
What are the types of insulin for basal control
Intermediate and long acting insulin
Algorithm for Type 2 DM: step 2 (well-validated)
Lifestyle, metformin and basal insulin OR sulfonylurea
Accute complication of DM: too much glucose
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (HHNS)
Accute complication of DM: too little glucose
Hypoglycemia, Blood glucose &lt; 60
What are the 4 Microvascular chrionic complications of DM
Peripheral neuropathy, Autonomic neuropathy, Retinopathy, Nephropathy
What are the 2 Macrovascular chronic complication of DM
Myocardial infarction and stroke
What is the effect of Peripheral neuropathy
Numbness, tingling, pain; can lead to foot damage
What is the effect of Autonomic neuropathy
Impotence, Diabetic gastroparesis, Neurogenic bladder, Hypoglycemic unawareness
What is the effect of Retinopathy
Leading cause of blindness
What is the effect of Nephropathy
Leading cause of kidney failure; Characterized by proteinuria
What are the treatments for Retinopathy
Photocoagulation, modify other risk factors, get regular eye exams
What are the treatments for Nephropathy
ACE inhibitors, ARBs, restrict protein intake
What is the treatment for the Macrovascular chronic complications
ASA therapy, 75-162 mg daily
know the insulin therapy for DM
when should short acting insulin be given?
30 minutes before a meal
what is amylin?
Amylin is a hormone that is co-secreted w/ insulin from the cells of the pancreas
what is amylin release in DM 1 & 2?
w/ type II, we still have working of cells so we still have release of amylin but we don’t get that spike that we get in a normal person.
In type I, there is no release of amylin
how can amylin work in treatment of DM? what is the SE?
So amylin would be a good treatment for type I DM or type II DM that requires insulin.
What amylin does when it is released w/ insulin is it reduces our emptying gastric time so we don’t empty the stomach as quickly. So glucagon is not released, it makes us feel full. The side effect of a slower emptying is nausea & it can also cause hypoglycemia. So it’s recommended that those who start on should decrease the rapid acting insulin or mealtime insulin by 50%
What is synthetic analog of amylin?
symlin
A patient with Type 1 DM is found to have a high blood glucose during an office visit. Which of the following insulin preparations could be administered in the office to bring the blood glucose down in a timely manner?

A.Insulin detemir (Levemir)
B.Insulin glargine (Lantus)
C.Insulin lispro (Humalog)
D.NPH insulin (Humulin or Novolin R)
C is the correct answer
What is the effect of sulfonylureas on A1C?
reduces it by 1-2%
What are the 3 sulfonylureas covered in lecture?
Glimepiride, glipizide, glyburide,
This drug is given for newly diagnosed type 2 DM?
metformin
This drug could be considered for pre-diabetes?
Metformin
what SCr levels should not be given metformin?
SCr > 1.5 males; > 1.4 females
How are glinides different from sulfonyureas?
They have faster onset & shorter duration of action. They are dosed before a meal so if u skip a meal, u skip the dose whereas w/ sulfonylureas since they are long acting, if u skip a meal, a person will be hypoglycemic at the end of the day
MOA of glucosidase inhibitors?
Inhibit breakdown of complex CHO & decrease postprandial glucose
This drug should not be given to those w/ heart failure?
Thiazolidnediones
What are the thizoldinediones?
Pioglitazone & rosiglitazone
Adverse effects of thiazolidnediones?
Fluid retention, edema, bone fractures & cardiac risk
How do incretin hormones work?
Increase postprandial insulin & decrease postprandial glucagon. They also delay gastric emptying & enhance satiety
Incretin mimetics are aka what?
GLP-1 agonists
What are the 2 GLP-1 agonists?
GLP-1 agonists

Exenatide &
liraglutide
What are the adverse effects of GLP-1 agonists?
Nausea & vomiting, pancreatitis, & Ab can develop against them
What are the DPP-4 inhibitors?
Sitaglipitin & saxagliptin
MOA of DPP-4 inhibitors?
They inhibit dipeptidyl peptidase 4 enzyme w/c is responsible for breaking down incretins
What are the adverse effects of DPP-4 inhibitors?
Nasopharyngitis, headache
Too much glucose can lead to what 2 things?
