Aspart insulin is to be used at these times. These testing times are important not just for checking for high glucoses but also to monitor and treat low glucoses. These checks are also important in helping to adjust the overall insulin doses.

Pharmacologic Classes of Agents to Control Hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes
Thiazolidinediones—e.g., rosiglitazone, pioglitazone
Class
Biguanides—e.g., metformin Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors—e.g., acarbose & miglitol
Insulin secretagogues—e.g., sulfonylureas (glyburide, glipizide); repaglinide
Takes 2-3 weeks to see initial effect. Effects continue for weeks or months after discontinuation of medication Keep in mind the metabolic t1/2 of each
Withhold in conditions predisposing to renal insufficiency and/or hypoxia CV collapse Acute MI or acute CHF Severe infection Use of iodinated contrast material Major surgical procedures In case of hypoglycemia (due to sulfonylurea or insulin treatment) Glucose (dextrose) must be administered Sucrose and complex carbohydrates should not be administered

HbA1c since then averages 4.9 (last check 2 weeks ago) No home monitoring. You are called in as a “medical consultant” and happen to see the glucose preop was 254 (also 2 weeks ago) .

HbA1c: formed by non-enzymatic condensation of glucose with the N- terminal valine residue of the β chains of hemoglobin., HbA1c reflects the glucose level an erythrocyte has been exposed to during its lifespan and is a measure of glycemic control over the last 3 months with the immediately preceding 30 days contributing 50% to the HbA1c Dapsone: Three mechanism for false HbA1c: 1. Can induce hemolysis 2. Interference with assay 3. Hemolytic independent reduction in erythrocyte survival

Case: MOD
Patient MOD is a 50 year old female admitted for
pioglitazone and sitagliptin at home for her type 2 diabetes (which has been described as in good control). You have just returned from this course. The oral medications are stopped and basal/bolus insulin is started. You round the next day and find out glucoses are totally crazy, from 128 in the morning, to 294 before lunch and then 36 mid afternoon.
Case: MOD
You investigate and find: At 7am: Glucose 128. patient did not eat and no insulin given. At 10am: Breakfast brought. Glucose 179. Nutrition dose plus correction given. At 11:30: Lunch Brought. Glucose 294. Nutrition dose plus correction dose given. At 2:30 you are called as the glucose is 38 mg/dl.

Cases: DCP and DCNP
Patient DCP is a 57 year old female. s/p total
Glucose control great at time of DC to home. Few days after DC to home, you get a call, patient in ER with mild DKA. They gave fluid and insulin and sent patient home. Next day, patient again in ER with same finding.

Cases: DCP and DCNP
Patient DCNP is a 64 year old female. s/p start of insulin at recent hospital stay. On glargine/aspart (basal/ bolus) in hospital. Well trained by expert nurse
Few days after DC to home, you get a call. You are told patient has consistently had glucoses in the 2-300 mg/dl range.
Cases: DCP and DCNP
What do you do?.
1.
Increase the glargine and/or aspart
2.
Review the patient’s diet
3.
Ask “are there any problems giving the insulin?”
4.
Nothing, it is the problem for the outpatient providers to figure out.
5.
None of the above
