Basal insulin
What kind?
When give basal insulin?
Background insulin
Intermediate or long acting
(qd or bid)
Bolus/prandial insulin
What Kind?
When to give?
Mealtime insulin to correct hyperglycemia (prevent post prandial )
Rapid or short acting
Bid to tid with meals
Initial dosing
0.5- 1 units/kg
Illness, stress growth insulin dosing
1-1.5 Units/kg
Regular insulin unit decreases plasma glucose by?
30-50 mg/dl
Split-mix regimen
2/3 TDD given in morning
1/3 TDD given in evening
2:1 Intermediate: Short acting ratio
Basal-bolus regimen
*Preferred method

50% Basal--> long acting glargine (once) detemir (1-2x)
OR
NPH 2/3 morning and 1/2 evening
AND
50% Bolus
Rapid OR short acting bid-tid
20% B, 15% L, 15% D OR equally between all meals
Dosing adjustments for basal regimen
Based on fasting and pre-meal glucose
Adjust by 10-20% TDD
Dosing adjustments for bolus regimen
Based on post prandial readings
Usually in 1-2 units
Insulin::Carbohydrate ratio
Calculation
Allows to tailor insulin dose to specific meal
--count carbs
500/TDD= grams carbohydrate covered by 1 unit of rapid or short acting insulin
Insulin Sensitivity Factor (ISF) or Sliding Scale
Corrects elevated glucose reading
Estimates drop in blood glucose by 1 unit of rapid or short acting insulin

1800/TDD
ISF for short acting insulin
1500/TDD

Pramlintide Brand?
Dosage form?
Symlin
1000mcg/ml pen injection
pramlintide indicated for what type?
Both type I and type II for those already on insulin therapy but not desired BG control
pramlintide MOA
mimics amylin
(decrease glucagon secretion
slows gastric emptying
increases satiety
reduces initial post prandial spike in glucose)
pramlintide dosing (TYPE I)
Initial: 15 mcg prior to meals
Titrate up in 15mcg increments (if no nausea) x 3 days
Maintenance: 30-60mcg prior to meals
*If 30mcg dose not tolerate, consider d/c drug
*if d/c for ANY reason, must re-titrate
*if forgotten, wait until next meal for dose
What do you need to decrease if adding pramlintide?
Pre-prandial rapid or short acting insulin by****
Administration of pramlintide
*SQ through abdomen or thigh before meal
*rotate injection sites
*DO NOT use same injection site as insulin and DO NOT mix with insulin

N/V
decreased appetite
stomach pain
localized injection site reaction
pramlintide C/I
