  3. Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus • Type 1 (immune-mediated beta cell destruction leading to absolute insulin deficiency) • Dependent on exogenous insulin • Prone to ketoacidosis • Usually lean, but not always • Recent weight loss • Abrupt onset of symptoms, often before age 30 • May occur at any age

  5. As Early as Possible in the Course of Diabetes When to Initiate Intensive Therapy in Type 1 Diabetes? • Metabolic Memory: Benefits of good diabetes control are long-lasting in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes1,2 • Intensive diabetes control in older diabetic individuals with long-standing Type 2 diabetes and well-established microvascular and macrovascular complications can result in bad outcomes (ACCORD, etc)?3 • DCCT/EDIC Study Research Group.

  7. Further Retinopathy Progression Over 7 Years of EDIC from the Level at DCCT Closeout • Even after intensive therapy was stopped at the end of DCCT, effects of intensive therapy persisted for >7 years • Difference between conventional and intensive therapy accelerated even after the treatments ended • After 7 years of EDIC • Risk reduction: 62% with intensive therapy (95% CI 51%-70%, P <.001) DCCT/EDIC Research Group. JAMA. 2002;287:2563-2569.

  8. Meta-analysis: Improved Glucose =Reduction in Macrovascular Events • With reduction in glucose, there is greater improvement in macrovascular events in glucose T1DM vs T2DM* Cardiac events T1DM 0.41 (95% CI, 0.19–0.87) T2DM 0.91 (95% CI, 0.80–1.03) Combined incidence Any macrovascular event T1DM 0.38 (95% CI, 0.26–0.56) T2DM 0.81 (95% CI, 0.73–0.91) Peripheral vascular events T1DM 0.39 (95% CI, 0.25–0.62) T2DM 0.58 (95% CI, 0.38–0.89) Cerebrovascular events T1DM 0.34 (95% CI, 0.05–2.57) T2DM 0.58 (95% CI, 0.4–0.74) *Incidence rate ratios are shown for T1DM (based on 8 randomized studies) and T2DM (based on 6 randomized studies).

  9. Insulin

  10. Insulin Analog Insulin produced by technology that uses recombinant DNA to produce an insulin molecule that is slightly different from human insulin in structure as well as pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamic properties

  15. Management of Type 1 Diabetes

  16. Intensive Diabetes Management Defined by • Goals of Therapy • Tools of Therapy • Systems of Therapy

  17. Intensive Diabetes Management Goals • Near-normal glycemia • Near-normal glycohemoglobin • Prevention of complications • Absence of hypoglycemia

  18. Intensive Diabetes Management Elements of Management • Multiple-component insulin regimen • Daily blood glucose monitoring • Careful balance of food intake, activity, and insulin dosage • An action plan for patient adjustment of the above, and the use of insulin supplements • Defined target blood glucose levels (individualized)

  19. Intensive Diabetes Management Elements of Management • Frequent contact between patient and health care providers • Patient education and motivation • Psychological support • Assessment (glycohemoglobin)

  20. Intensive Diabetes Management Components of Insulin Replacement • Basal • Meal-related

  25. Insulin Pumps

  26. Wearing the Insulin Pump

  27. Intensive Diabetes Management Insulin Dose Distribution • Basal: 40%–60% • Premeal: 40%–60% • If according to carbohydrate • 0.8–1.2 units/gram carbohydrate • If according to % of total daily dose • 15%–25% before breakfast • 15% before lunch • 15%–20% before dinner

  28. Intensive Diabetes Management Preprandial Algorithms • Insulin dosage • Insulin timing • Meal size • Meal content

  29. Intensive Diabetes Management Insulin Dose Changes • Supplements • Adjustments

  30. Intensive Diabetes Management Insulin Dose Changes • Supplements • Compensatory • Anticipatory

  31. Intensive Diabetes Management Insulin Dose Changes • Compensatory supplements • Based on prevailing blood glucose • Corrects blood glucose outside “target” range • Alters basic dose for that point in time

  32. Blood glucose <50 mg/dL 51–100 mg/dL 101–150 mg/dL 151–200 mg/dL 201–250 mg/dL 251–300 mg/dL >300 mg/dL Fast-acting insulin Decrease 2 units Decrease 1 unit Take usual dose Increase 1 unit Increase 2 units Increase 3 units Increase 4 units Intensive Diabetes Management CompensatorySupplements Per Dr. Raskin.

  33. Intensive Diabetes Management Insulin Dose Changes Mealtime Questions • What is my blood glucose now? • Do I plan to eat more or less than usual? • Will I be more or less active after eating? • What has happened under these circumstances previously?

  34. Intensive Diabetes Management Insulin Dose Changes • Adjustments • Based on pattern over several days • ~10% increase or decrease in insulin component preceding BG measurement • Change one component at a time

  35. Intensive Diabetes Management Insulin Timing • Regular insulin usually 30–60 minutes before meals • Rapid-acting analogs taken at mealtime or better yet 15 minutes before • Increase time interval if blood glucose above target (further from meal) • Decrease time interval if blood glucose below target (closer to meal)

  36. Intensive Diabetes Management Meal Size or Carbohydrate Content • Decrease if blood glucose above target or less activity planned • Increase if blood glucose below target or more activity planned

  37. Intensive Diabetes Management Criteria for Selection of Patients • Suboptimal glycemic control • Motivation to pursue intensive therapy • Willing and able to perform frequent SMBG • Sufficient education and ability • Adequate psychological stability • Appropriate financial resources • Skilled medical staff available

  38. Intensive Diabetes Management Contraindications • Hypoglycemia unawareness • Counterregulatory unresponsiveness • Age • Medical reasons, debilitated, short life expectancy, malignancy, etc

  39. Intensive Diabetes Management Benefits of Insulin Pump Therapy • Allows for flexibility in schedule • More physiologic and reproducible • Insulin delivery more predictable • Less hypoglycemia (exercise)

  40. Intensive Diabetes Management Self-Blood Glucose Monitoring Essential Component of Intensive Management

  41. Blood Glucose Monitoring Initially, check blood glucose before and 1.5–2 hours after each meal and at bedtime Weekly at 2:00 AM–3:00 AM Four blood glucose checks before each meal after targets are achieved

  42. Effect of Memory Meter on HbA1c in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes • N = 22 intensively treated T1DM patients (using insulin pump or 4 daily insulin injections) • Monthly mean HbA1c across 12 months • HbA1c 6.9% ± 0.12% before memory meter • HbA1c 6.4% ± 0.10% while a memory meter was used • P = .0004 • Difference in slopes P = .046 • As the frequency of SMBG (tests/day) increased, HbA1c decreased: r = −0.61, P <.01 Strowig SM, Raskin P. Diabetes Care. 1998;21:1694-1698.

  43. Hypoglycemia

  44. Hypoglycemia • Identify hypoglycemia patterns and relate to insulin peaks • Look for causes • — Lifestyle issues • Exercise • Food • Alcohol • — Medical causes • Altered kidney or liver function • Hormonal deficiencies (eg, pituitary or adrenal) • Rapid gastric emptying • Hypoglycemia unawareness National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse (NDIC). Hypoglycemia. Accessed 1/29/13 at: http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/pubs/hypoglycemia/#symptoms.

  45. 15 g CHO as juice, soda, or glucose tablets

  46. Monitoring • GLYCOHEMOGLOBIN1 • 1–2 MONTHS DURING STABILIZATION • 2–4 MONTHS ROUTINELY • BLOOD PRESSURE—every visit1 • Probably should be measured in both supine and standing positions2 • URINE PROTEIN/MICROALBUMIN—annually1,2 • EYE EXAMS—annually1,2 • FOOT EXAMS—annually1,2 • LIPIDS—annually1,2 1.

  47. Adherence

  48. Adherence to Insulin in Pediatric Type 1 Diabetes • Meta-analysis of 21 studies (N = 2492) • Increased adherence is associated with decreased HbA1c values • Greater association pre-DCCT vs post-DCCT, possibly due to increased complexity of regimens Hood KK, et al. Pediatrics. 2009;124:e1171-e1179.
