diabetes part 2

QuestionAnswer
oral agents T2DM 3 ways -increase insulin secretion (pancreas) -reduce insulin resistance (muscle/liver) -decrease absorption of glucose (gut)
oral agents: increase insulin secretion (pancreas) meds sulfonyureas and meglitinides
sulfonyureas examples glipizide, glyburide, glimepiride
sulfonyureas: can cause hypoglycemia
sulfonyureas intervention monitor symptoms of hypoglycemia increase dose gradually
meglitinides example repaglinide, nateglinide
meglitines: short acting peak effects in 1 hour recommended for pt w poorly controlled BG may cause weight gain
meglitines interventions taken 3 times a day 15-30 minutes prior to meals monitor for symptoms of hypoglycemia
oral agents reduce insulin resistance (muscle/liver) biguanides, thiazolidineodiones
biguanides examples metformin
biguanides: -if given with IV contrast dye may result in kidney damage (hold if pt has CKD and restart 48 hrs after IV contrast dye) -if pt has decreased kidney function can cause lactic acidosis
biguanides intervention -if acute or chronic kidney disease withhold on day of IV contrast dye procedures, restart 48 hours post procedure. -hydrate pt. -monitor GFR, creat., BUN
thiazolidineodiones examples pioglitazone and rosiglitazone
thiazolidineodiones: causes fluid retention contraindicated in pts with heart failure and liver failure
thiazolidineodiones intervention observe for fluid volume retention weigh patient
oral agents decrease carbohydrate absorption alpha glucosidase inhibitors
alpha glucosidase inhibitors examples acarbose, miglitol
alpha glucosidase inhibitors: delays absorption of carbohydrates in GI tract reduces post prandial hyperglycemia
alpha glucosidase inhibitors intervention mediation taken with first bite of food hold if pt is not eating
GLP-1 upon ingestion of food... GLP-1 is secreted from the L-cell in the intestine
GLP-1 in turn this causes: -stimulates glucose dependent insulin secretion -suppresses glucagon secretion -slows gastric emptying -reduces food intake (appetite suppressant)
incretin mimetic examples exenatide BID bydureon weekly liraglutide daily sitagliptin daily
incretin mimetic: prescribed for pts who have not been able to control BG with oral medication. stimulate the release of insulin. inhibit the release of glucagon. reduces the rate that stomach digests food and empties
incretin mimetic intervention Given SQ or PO depending on drug Frequency depends on type of incretion mimetic May cause loss of appetite, weightloss. Rarely causes hypoglycemia unless taken with oral medications.
SGLT2i examples empaglifozin, canaglifozin, dapagliflozin, ertugliflozin
SGLT2i: lower blood sugar by causing the kidneys to remove glucose from the body through the urine
SGLT2i intervention taken orally once a day can result in euglycemia DKA
ADA- EASD glycemia targets in T2DM- pre-prandial (before meals) plasma glucose <130 mg/dL
ADA- EASD glycemia targets in T2DM- post- prandial (after meals) plasma glucose <180 mg/dL
ADA- EASD A1C individualization is key; no 'one size fits all' number for everyone
ADA- EASD A1C tighter targets 6-6.5% Patients who are younger, healthier, and have a long life expectancy. The goal is to prevent long-term complications.
ADA- EASD A1C looser targets 7.5-8% Patients who are older, have other serious health conditions (comorbidities), or are prone to dangerous drops in blood sugar.
avoidance of hypoglycemia Hypoglycemia can be life-threatening in older adults. DR will accept a slightly higher A1C if it means the patient stays safe from severe lows
outpatient treatment type 2 if A1C > 7%... start/change therapy
outpatient treatment type 2 step one lifestyle/risk reduction + metformin
outpatient treatment type 2 step two if step one fails within 2-3 months, add a second agent choose sulfonylurea or insulin (basal) if A1C >8.5%
outpatient treatment type 2 step three start or intensify insulin therapy a third oral agent usually ineffective and more $$$
normal pancreatic insulin release insulin release increases when BGL rise and continue at a low steady rate between meals ("basal rate")
rapid acting insulin Lispro, aspart, glulison onset: 15 minutes. peak: 1 hour. duration: 24 hours
short acting insulin human regular Onset: 30 minutes. Peak: 2-3 hours. Duration: 3-6 hours.
intermediate-acting NPH Onset: 2-4 hours. Peak: 4-12 hours. Duration: 12-18 hours.
Long acting Glargine, Detemir, Degludec Onset: several hours. Peak: DOES NOT PEAK. Duration: 24 hours or longer, sometimes give Q12h
insulin types basal and prandial
basal insulin amount of insulin required between meals and overnight to meet insulin needs and control glucose output from the liver ex: glargine, detemir, NPH (long acting)
prandial insulin amount of insulin required with meals to convert food into energy/ stored forms of energy (prevents blood glucose excursion after food intake) ex: Lispro, aspart, glulison, regular (fast acting, given w meals)
correction insulin use the sliding scale correct 150- 2 units then more if glucose is higher
insulin storage and disposal avoid heat, light, and storage only good for 28 days after opening Expiration date and correct color
mixing insulin NPH and regular 6units NPH and 3 units regular in same syringe draw up rapid acting first since it's clear, then the cloudy one
insulin injection sites SubQ abdomen most commonly, mid thigh, back of arm, buttock
insulin adjustment consideration insulin variables: type, dose, peak, duration food intake: quantity, timing physical activity: increased or decreased exercise
pre-mixed insulin pre-mixed formulations of intermediate and short or rapid acting insulin inpatient setting- not used often outpatient setting- easier for pts at home
common premixed formulas Human (70/30), Humalog (75/25), Humalog (50/50), Novolog (70/30)
U-500 concentration insulin 5x more potent than U-100 regular insulin double check orders before administering
insulin reminders do not mix Glargine or Detemir in same syringe with any other. Correction (sliding scale) insulin should be given within 30 minutes to an hour after fingerstick glucose is checked.
insulin reminders aspart, humalog give when meal is in front of the pt
insulin reminders regular insulin 30 minutes prior to meal
poor BG control increases risk of sepsis, infection, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, delayed wound healing, cardiac dysrhythmias, longer ICU and hospital stays, inpatient mortality
AACE/ADA summary of recommendations - inpatient ICU patients glucose range 140-180 mg/dL
AACE/ADA summary of recommendations - inpatient non-ICU patients glucose range: premeal BG target: <140mg/dL random BG target < 180mg/dL
pre-operative management of insulin and hyperglycemia basal insulin: -should receive all or portion of basal insulin dose
pre-operative management of insulin and hyperglycemia- if patient has an insulin pump: endocrine consult, patient provides all supplies, never stop pump without giving SQ or IV insulin
nursing management assess for RF, complications avoid hypo/hyperglycemic emergencies provide EBP care to maintain optimal state of health educate and assist with diabetes self-management
nursing management- educate and assist with diabetes self-management teach the pt to safely self-manage diabetes, maintain target range of Blood glucose levels, and prevent complications
inpatient diabetes education: survival skills and discharge planning Tx of hypoglycemia Tx of Hyperglycemia glucose monitoring medication outpatient follow up
when does teaching begin? at admission!!
hospital discharge: transition many pts are admitted to the hospital with undiagnosed diabetes or hyperglycemia hyperglycemia may have occured in some pts due to 'special' circumstances.
pts with prediabetes monitor blood glucose levels and schedule a follow-up at 1 month is appropriate for all pts with in-hospital hyperglycemia
outpatient tx for T1DM insulin- prevent DKA education, ongoing support
outpatient tx for T1DM education, ongoing support: consistent carbs/carb counting healthy lifestyle including regular exercise control risk factors (BP, lipids)
outpatient tx for T1DM optional adjunct medications (amylin) technology (insulin pen, pump, continuous glucose monitoring systems)
daily management causes of Hyperglycemia extra insulin needed contact MD for persistent BGL >250, fever, ketonuria, and N/V
causes of Hyperglycemia stress, infection, injury, surgery
daily manangement for an unconscious patient be aware of sweating, tachycardia, and tremors as a sign of hypoglycemia
first line therapy lifestyle intervention: optimize weight, eat a healthy diet, increase activity level
time it takes to complete ADA recommended tasks to manage blood glucose per day 122 minutes/day *look at chart on slide 38*
nutrition and DM: consistent carb heart healthy diet -consistent carb meal planning/ counting -limiting intake of high sugar food -increase fiber to dec. glycemic index (whole grains, legumes) -don't skip meals -reduce fats -maintain weight or if overweight or obese lose 5-7% of bodyweight
exercise recommendations daily exercise is recommended
EBP of exercise rec 30 mins 5 days/week (may be done in 3x 10 minute increments or 2.5 hrs/week) exercise stress test prior to start: if over 30 and have 2 or more risk factors for CVD
exercise precautions avoid exercise when: - blood sugar is about 250 with ketonuria (T1D) to prevent DKA - insulin requirements normally decrease with exercise - blood glucose monitoring
before exercising... either decrease insulin dose OR eat a 15-20g snack before to prevent hypoglycemia during exercise
sick day management need for insulin continues and may increase test BG Q4h and record, test urine for ketones (T1D), eat carbs per plan, call HCP if needed
when to call HCP for sick day management persistent BG >240mg/dL (T1D) persistent BG >300mg/dL (T2D) N/V, inability to retain fluids
foot care check for neuropathy thoroughly inspect your feet daily, keep clean and dry. have podiatry clip toe nails. prevent cracks or cuts. no moisturizer between toes because can cause fungal infection!
insulin injection devices -insulin pens, easier to see -insulin pumps, continuous subq insulin infusion (CSII) -freestyle libre flash glucose monitoring system
insulin pumps basal, regular insulin, continuous can give bolus if person wants to eat more some connect to apps on iphones, others have devices that come with it
