DM Tx Flashcards
(106 cards)
Antibodies associated w/ T1
GAD-65 antibodies
Islet Cell antibodies
Factors leading to hyperglycemia
impaired insulin secretion increased glucagon secretion increased hepatic glucose production neurotransmitter dysfunction decreased glucose uptake increased glucose reasbsorption increased lipolysis and reduced glucose uptake decreased incretin effect
Dx of DM
fasting >126
OGTT >200
HbA1C >6.5
Random glucose >200 + symptoms
- confirm w/ additional test
Other tests to consider for DM
antibodies (GAD-65 and islet cell antibodies)
fasting insulin, C-peptide (how bad)
urine ketones and albumin excretion
Comorbidities
ASCVD Hypothyroidism CKD Hyperlipidemia Hypertension
ASCVD
CHD: MI, angina, revascularization
cerebrovascular disease: stroke, TIA
PAD
Risk factors for ASCVD
obesity dyslipidemia HTN smoking family hx of CAD CKD Albuminuria Diabetes
How often do you screen for ASCVD risk factors
yearly
Leading cause of morbidity/mortality for people w/ DM
ASCVD
What drugs reduce CV events?
Empagliflozin
Liraglutide
Canagliflozin
Dulaglutide and semaglutide = reduce CV events, but not all cause mortality
DM Management goals:
HbA1C Urine microalbumin BP Lipids Coagulopathy
HbA1C goals
<6.5% (AACE)
<7% (ADA)
Drugs if you note urine microalbuminuria
ACE/ARB
BP goals
<140/90 (ADA)
<130/90 (AHA)
DM lipid management
high intensity statin: DM + ASCVD (atorvastatin and rosuvastatin)
moderate intensity stati: >40 w/ DM
High intensity statins
atorvastatin
rosuvastatin
Anti-platelet therapy
ASA (75-162mg/day) in patients w/ ASCVD and DM
ASVD drug regimen
High intensity statin
Anti-platelet
+/- ACE/ARB
Tx for T1 DM
Insulin!!! - Basal/Bolus, fixed dose
Tx guidelines
A1C <9: Monotherapy (metformin)
A1C >9: Dual therapy
A1C >10 or blood glucose >300 or very symptomatic: consider combo injectable therapy
AACE HbA1C goals
<6.5 w/o other disease or ris of hypoglycemia
>6.5 w/ concurrent illness and risk of hypoglycemia
AACE guidelines of Tx
A1C <7.5: mono
>7.5 Dual (proceed to triple if don’t reach goal by 3 mo)
>9 + sx: insulin + other agents
>9 w/o sx: dual/triple therapy
1st line for DM
Metformin
MOA of metformin
decreased hepatic glucose production decreases intestinal absorption increase insulin sensitivity! increase glucose utptake decrease FFA
