Principal Aims in Diabetes Care
Medical/Diabetes Care Team-orientated
( A)Promote overall well-being and a normal life expectancy
(B) Prevent/delay the onset of cardiovascular disease
(C)Manage diabetes-related complications early and aggressively as appropriate
(D) Minimize hypo glycaemia and adverse drug event rate
(E) Provide specialist care at optimal time points
Patient/Care-orientated
(1)To acquire the education and skills to self-manage
(2) Maintain an optimal level of physical and cognitive function
(3) To be confident of access to services and support where necessary to manage their
DIABETES
Definition
     Diabetes mellitus is a
   complex metabolic disorder
   characterised by persistent
hyperglycaemia due to relative or
 absolute deficiency of insulin or
        insulin resistance

   Table 4—Criteria for testing for diabetes in
    asymptomatic adult individuals
   1. Testing should be considered in all adults who
    are overweight (BMI 25 kg/m2*) and
   have additional risk factors:
   ● physical inactivity
   ● first-degree relative with diabetes
   ● members of a high-risk ethnic population (e.g.,
    African American, Latino, Native
   American, Asian American, Pacific Islander)
   ● women who delivered a baby weighing 9 lb or
    were diagnosed with GDM
   ● hypertension (140/90 mmHg or on therapy for
    hypertension)
   ● HDL cholesterol level 35 mg/dl (0.90 mmol/l)
    and/or a triglyceride level 250mg/dl (2.82 mmol/l)
   ● women with polycystic ovary syndrome
   ● A1C 5.7%--6.4%, IGT, or IFG on previous
    testing
   ● other clinical conditions associated with insulin
    resistance (e.g., severe obesity,
   acanthosis nigricans)
   ● history of CVD
   2. In the absence of the above criteria, testing
    diabetes should begin at age 45 years
   3. If results are normal, testing should be
    repeated at least at 3-year intervals, with
   consideration of more frequent testing depending
    on initial results and risk
   status.
   *At-risk BMI may be lower in some ethnic groups
   The foundation of our current practices in
     diabetes stems from large prospective
              studies, such as the

    UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS)

                    and the

    Diabetes Control and Complications Trial
                    (DCCT),


    which suggested that better control of
     blood glucose reduces complications

            Aslong as we
            reach the
            objective
            (TARGETS), it
            doesn’t matter

 Whether it is pills,
insulin shots or both
 GOAL IS CONTROL

 HbA1c <7%
The August 2006 guidelines from the
                 ADA
  and the European Association for
              the Study
    of Diabetes recommends the
             inclusion of

             METFORMIN

An
Algorithm
to Guide
   …..
Clinical implications

   Algorithm encourages flexibility and clinical judgement in
    Type 2 diabetes treatment
   Algorithm is cautious in use of newer treatments
   Lack of head-to-head trials continues to impede informed
    comparisons of strategies
   In severely uncontrolled diabetes, lifestyle + insulin is
    preferred regimen
   Long-term ability to control diabetes or reduce
    cardiovascular complications still a concern
An Algorithm to Guide …..
Advantages of Insulin Therapy
   Most clinical experience
   Most effective (lowering
    glycemia)
     Can decrease any level of elevated HbA1c
     No maximum dose of insulin beyond
      which a therapeutic effect will not occur
   Beneficial effects on triglyceride
    and HDL cholesterol levels

Why Aren’t Patients Achieving
    Blood Glucose Goals?
 Physicians not setting appropriate
  glycemic targets
 Type 2 diabetes is progressive -
  what works now may not work in
  the future
 Type of medications used are not
  appropriate
 Insulin therapy only used as a
  “threat”

          MESSAGE
     “Insulin should not be the
 treatment of last resort for many
of our patients, but should be the
treatment of best resort. Starting
  insulin is always resisted. A lot
depends on the clinician to handle
the different situations in a tactful
                way”
TAKE HOME
   MESSAGE
 DIABETES”S   therapy should be

 individualized
 and adjusted according to the
 changing needs of the patients

  1. UKPDS 35 was a prospective observational study to determine the relationship between exposure to hyperglycemia over time and the risk of macrovascular or microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes who were participants in the UKPDS. 3,642 white, Asian Indian and Afro-Caribbean UKPDS patients who had HbA 1c measured 3 months after their diabetes diagnosis and with complete data for potential confounders were included in the sub-analysis of relative risk. Reductions in the risk of microvascular and macrovascular complications that might be achieved by lowering HbA 1c by 1% were estimated. The incidence of clinical complications was found to be significantly associated with hyperglycemia. While any reduction in HbA 1c is likely to reduce the risk of complications, the lowest risk was observed in those with HbA 1c values in the normal range (&lt; 6.0%). A 1% decrease in HbA 1c was estimated to correspond with significant reductions in any diabetes-related endpoint, diabetes-related death, all cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, microvascular disease and cataract extraction.

  3. Slide 1-24 Stages of Type 2 Diabetes Epidemiological studies suggest that the onset of diabetes occurs 10 to 12 years before a clinical diagnosis is made. (Harris 1997) In the UKPDS study of type 2 diabetics, at least 50% of the patients had evidence of diabetic tissue damage when diabetes was first diagnosed. (UKPDS Study 16, 1995) In the earliest phase, when beta-cell function is not impaired, the ability of the beta-cells to hypersecrete insulin masks the impaired glucose tolerance, often for years. During the IGT phase, the FPG will be higher than the normal 110 mg/dL but lower than the 126 mg/dL that is indicative of diabetes. As beta-cell function continues to decline, mild postprandial hyperglycemia develops, reflecting the inability of the beta-cell to hypersecrete enough insulin to overcome insulin resistance. At the end of this prediabetic phase, the first phase of type 2 diabetes typically produces symptoms that lead to a diagnosis. During phase I, in the first 2 years after diagnosis of diabetes, beta-cell function decreases to between 70% and 40% of normal function. CORE
  4. The classical approach to treating type 2 diabetes can be described as stepped management. The first step is to encourage the patient to reduce hyperglycemia through a combination of diet and exercise followed by support with an oral antidiabetic agent in monotherapy. If glycemic control continues to deteriorate, additional oral agents are added in a step-wise fashion followed by insulin where necessary. Slide 17
  5. Published simultaneously in the August 2006 issues of Diabetes Care and Diabetologia , the new consensus statement takes into account the characteristics of individual interventions, their synergies, and expenses (Figure 1) to facilitate the management of hyperglycemia. “We have developed a step-by-step algorithm that simplifies how and when treatments should be administered [Figure 2],” says Dr. Nathan. “We want to achieve and maintain glycemic levels as close to the non-diabetic range as possible and to change interventions at as rapid a pace as titration of medications allows.”
  6. Key Points Insulin is the oldest of the currently available medications for the management of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes and has the most clinical experience. It is the most effective of diabetes medications in lowering glycemia: when used in adequate doses it can decrease any level of elevated HbA 1c to, or close to, the therapeutic goal, and there appears to be no maximum dose beyond which a therapeutic effect will not occur. Insulin has also been shown to beneficially affect triglyceride and HDL cholesterol levels. Reference: Nathan DM et al. Management of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes: a consensus algorithm for the initiation and adjustment of therapy. Diabetes Care 2006;29(8):1963-72 .
  7. We as health care providers need to know blood glucose goals and develop strategies for our patients to reach these goals. However, it must be made clear that regardless of appropriate control, changes in blood glucose is part of the disease’s progressions. This may have a psychological impact on the patient. Insulin is used as a punishment, therefore, it is often used too late. Insulin must be presented as a wonderful tool to control blood glucose levels.
  8. According to Dr. Nathan, there are several key points for physicians to remember when using the newly created algorithm. “First, physicians need to quickly and aggressively move onto the next step if A1C improvements do not occur. The earlier these new interventions are initiated, the better chance we have at preventing complications. Second, we must recognize that lifestyle interventions [eg, a healthy diet and regular exercise] and early administration of metformin are essential throughout treatment. Patients should receive these interventions as soon as a diabetes diagnosis is made and continue them. Third, physicians should not hesitate to initiate early and aggressive insulin therapy because it can further prevent diabetes-related complications. Lastly, each treatment goal will need to be individualized based on the patient’s characteristics. What may work for some patients will not work for all.”
