(101 cards)
Goals of TTT of DM
Target of TTT in DM
- Normal glucose levels
- Weight Loss
- Improve blood lipid profile
- Lower blood pressure
what are glycemic targets?
- HbA1C < 7 %
- Fasting blood glucose 80 - 130 mg/dL
- Postprandial blood glucose < 180 mg/dL
Weigth target in DM
- Body mass index <25 kg/m2
- Waist : hip ratio men <0.95 - women <0.8
what is Diabetes Remission?
Return of HbA1c <6.5%
Characters of Diabetes Remission
- Spontaneously or following intervention
- Persist for 3 months
- In absence of glucose lowering pharmacotherapy
Lipid profile targets in DM
Blood Pressure target in DM
130/80 mmHg (but depends on age, diabetes duration, complication risk)
Aspects of Therapeutic Lifestyle Modification in DM
- Weight loss (for overweight and obese patients)
- Physical Activity
- Diet
Weight loss
(Therapeutic Lifestyle Modification)

- Vitamin supplements → recommended to patients at risk of insufficiency or deficiency
However, Vit B is good for neuropathy associated with DM
