  8. Case Study

  9. Case History and Physical Findings • 58-year-old Hispanic man presents with complaints of fatigue and unusual hunger. He checked his blood glucose with his cousin’s meter and it was 143 mg/dL after lunch. The cousin insisted the patient seek medical attention • History of high BP; taking ramipril 10 mg daily • Claims to be otherwise healthy • Physical examination • BP: 126/72 mm Hg • Weight: 195 lb; waist circumference: 41 in; height: 5 ft 9 in • Blood glucose in the office is 136 mg/dL; patient ate light breakfast before his morning appointment • Point-of-care A1C = 6.1% • A1C = glycosylated hemoglobin; BP = blood pressure.

  10. Laboratory Results BUN = blood urea nitrogen; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; LDL = low-density lipoprotein; TC = total cholesterol; TG = triglyceride. • BUN: 29 • Creatinine: 0.9 • HDL: 23 mg/dL • LDL: 106 mg/dL • TC: 234 mg/dL • TG: 287 mg/dL • Urinalysis: negative • Other labs are unrevealing

  11. 7 What is your diagnosis for this patient? • Type 2 diabetes • Pre-diabetes • Impaired fasting glucose • Don’t know Use your keypad to vote now!

  12. Diagnosis: Type 2 Diabetes • Blood glucose values measured by a 2-hour glucose tolerance test: • Prescreen: 103 mg/dL • Fasting: 106 mg/dL • 2 hour: 236 mg/dL • Patient presents at your office 2 hours after eating and reports self-monitored blood glucose (SMBG) of 213 mg/dL • You explain to the patient that he has type 2 diabetes

  13. ADA Criteria for the Diagnosis of Diabetes • FPG ≥126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L)* OR • Symptoms of hyperglycemia and a casual plasma glucose ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) OR • 2-hour plasma glucose ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) during an OGTT* *In the absence of unequivocal hyperglycemia, these criteria should be confirmed by repeat testing on a different day. ADA = American Diabetes Association; FPG = fasting plasma glucose; OGTT = oral glucose tolerance test. American Diabetes Association. Diabetes Care. 2008;31(suppl 1):S12-S54.

Natural History of Type 2 Diabetes Severity of Glucose Intolerance IGT Frank Diabetes NGT Insulin Secretion Postprandial Blood Glucose Fasting Blood Glucose Normal Blood Glucose Years to Decades Typical Diagnosis of Diabetes Insulin Resistance Progressive b-cell Dysfunction Microvascular Complications Macrovascular Complications IGT = impaired glucose tolerance; NGT = normal glucose tolerance. Leahy JL. Diabetes Care. 1990;13:992-1010.

  15. Suboptimal Management May Leadto Poor Outcomes in Diabetes Care • Delayed initiation of therapies to prevent long-term complications is common in general practice settings worldwide, especially in the United States, India, and Japan • Most primary care practitioners (50%-55%) delay insulin therapy until “absolutely necessary” • Delay of OAD = strongest correlate of insulin delay • Barely half (49.2%) of healthcare providers believe that earlier insulin use would decrease overall cost of diabetes care Peyrot M, et al.

  25. 7 What is the first step in managing this patient’s condition? • Institute lifestyle changes • Re-evaluate in 3 months • Refer for comprehensivediabetes education • Start an oral antihyperglycemic agent • 1, 2, and 3 • 1, 2, 3, and 4 Use your keypad to vote now!

Diabetes Care. 2006;29:1963-1972.

  27. Advancing Therapy • Metformin is started and titrated over several weeks to 1000 mg twice daily, which the patient tolerates well • He starts regular appointments with the certified diabetes educator (CDE) in a comprehensive program of lifestyle change and nutrition, as well as pharmacologic management • At 3-month follow-up the patient reports he is exercising and following the CDE’s dietary recommendations • Weight = 183 lb (loss of 12 lb) • A1C = 5.8%

  28. 1 Year Later… • A little more than a year later the patient returns. He has gained 25 lb and is exercising sporadically. He admits his diet isn’t good • After starting treatment, the patient missed his next appointment because he felt he was doing well • He missed a number of CDE visits and eventually stopped altogether • Physical findings • BP: 134/82 mm Hg • Weight: 208 lb (25-lb weight gain) • TC: 156 mg/dL; TG: 143 mg/dL; HDL: 32 mg/dL; LDL: 79 mg/dL • A1C: 8.1%

  29. Advancing Therapy • The patient is very reluctant to start insulin and requests an oral drug • Because of cost, he strongly prefers glyburide, which is started at 5 mg daily • 3-month follow-up: A1C = 6.8% • The patient is happy with his therapy despite occasional mild hypoglycemia • Agrees to come back every 3 to 4 months for examination and A1C determination

  30. Failure of 2 OADs The patient keeps his follow-up appointments, but about 18 months later • A1C: 7.6% • BP: 118/72 mm Hg • Body weight: 200 lb • TC: 122 mg/dL; TG: 122 mg/dL, HDL: 39 mg/dL; LDL: 76 mg/dL • Current Rx: metformin + glyburide, plus ramipril, amlodipine, atorvastatin, aspirin, niacin

  31. 7 What is your next treatment recommendation? • Increase lifestyle measures • Add a third OAD • Initiate insulin • Discuss gastric bypass Use your keypad to vote now!

  32. Percent Reaching A1C Goal: TZD Added to Metformin and SFU P <.001 A1C Achieved at 6 Months (%) A1C Achieved at 12 Months (%) SFU = sulfonylurea; TZD = thiazolidinedione. Yale JF, et al. Ann Intern Med. 2001;134:737-745.

  33. ADA and EASD Recommendation After Failure of 2 OADs • The authors of the ADA treatment algorithm discourage the use of >2 OADs: “Although 3 OADs can be used, initiation and intensification of insulin therapy is preferred based on effectiveness and expense” • Thanks to his comprehensive diabetes education, the patient understood that one day insulin would be needed • It’s no surprise to him that basal insulin is to be started. He expresses concern about hypoglycemia and a general sense of losing control. He wants to be part of the decision-making process AACE.

  34. Basal Insulin Therapy • Usual first step when beginning insulin therapy • Continue OAD and add basal insulin to optimize FPG • A1C of up to 9.0% may best be reduced to goal by addition of basal insulin therapy to OADs • Easy and safe: patient-directed treatment algorithms with small risk of serious hypoglycemia AACE.
