Ada Updates Standards Of Medical Care For Patients With Diabetes Mellitus

Ada Updates Standards Of Medical Care For Patients With Diabetes Mellitus

Key Points for Practice • All adults should be tested for diabetes beginning at 45 years of age. • Overweight or obese patients with one or more risk factors for diabetes should be screened at any age. • Persons who use continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pumps should have continued access after 65 years of age. • Aspirin therapy should be considered for women with diabetes who are 50 years and older. • The addition of ezetimibe to statin therapy should be considered for eligible patients who can tolerate only a moderate-dose statin Ongoing patient self-management education and support are critical to preventing acute complications of diabetes mellitus and reducing the risk of long-term complications. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recently updated its standards of care to provide the components of diabetes care, general treatment goals, and tools to evaluate the quality of care. Key changes in the 2016 update include new screening recommendations, clarification of diagnostic testing, and recommendations on the use of new technology for diabetes prevention, the use of continuous glucose monitoring devices, cardiovascular risk management, and screening for hyperlipidemia in children with type 1 diabetes. General recommendations for treatment of type 2 diabetes are shown in Figure 1. Antihyperglycemic therapy in type 2 diabetes: general recommendations. The order in the chart was determined by historical availability and the route of administration, with injectables to the right; it is not meant to denote any specific preference.

Corresponding author (Email: [email protected] ) In 2012, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) published new guidelines for the management of type 2 diabetes, emphasizing the need to individualize treatment goals with preference, need and cost-effects compared with the 2008 ADA/EASD algorithm. These ADA/EASD recommendations provided characteristics of medications in view of improved pharmacodynamics, effects, side effect and cost. The ADA/EASD explained stratification of treatment based on HbA1c and no preferred sequential order for regimens involving dual and triple therapy, indicating the strong effects of insulin therapy in the case of triple therapy.

Antihyperglycemic Therapy In Elderly Diabetics

Antihyperglycemic Therapy In Elderly Diabetics

Antihyperglycemic Therapy in Elderly Diabetics Adopting an individualized approach is the cornerstone of much of modern medicine, and nowhere is that more true than in the care of older patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).1 Older patients represent a highly variable population. Some may have no health problems other than T2DM, while others may suffer from multiple health issues that complicate treatment. Longstanding diabetes increases the risk for microvascular and macrovascular complications, yet those with well controlled disease may need a different treatment approach than those whose disease has been difficult to manage. Patients who are newly diagnosed later in life with T2DM may need yet another strategy. In recent years, guidelines have recognized the variability in this age group by emphasizing the importance of balancing the risks of hypoglycemia vs the benefits of adequate glucose control. Although guidelines differ, in general they recommend less intensive treatment and more relaxed HbA1c targets in certain circumstances, especially for frail patients and those with cardiovascular disease. These guidelines follow on the heels of research suggesting the existence of a U-shaped curve for mortality vs HbA1c. Results from the landmark ACCORD trial showed that participants (mean age 62 years) had increased risk of mortality at A1c values around 6.0% and 9.0%, and lower risk of mortality for A1c levels intermediate between 6.0% and 9.0%.2 A recent Kaiser Permanente of Northern California study confirmed this U-shaped curve in 71,000 people who were over age 60 and had T2DM. The retrospective cohort study also found that the risk of death and chronic complications rose significantly at A1C 8.0%.3 Despite less stringent A1c goals, experts stress the importance of Continue reading >>

Inzucchi SE, Bergenstal RM, Buse JB, et al. Glycemic targets and glucose-lowering therapies must be individualized. Diet, exercise, and education remain the foundation of any type 2 diabetes treatment program. Unless there are prevalent contraindications, metformin is the optimal first-line drug. After metformin, there are limited data to guide us. Combination therapy with an additional 12 oral or injectable agents is reasonable, aiming to minimize side effects where possible. Ultimately, many patients will require insulin therapy alone or in combination with other agents to maintain glucose control. All treatment decisions, where possible, should be made in conjunction with the patient, focusing on his/her preferences, needs, and values. Comprehensive cardiovascular risk reduction must be a major focus of therapy.

You may notice problems with the display of certain parts of an article in other eReaders. Generating an ePub file may take a long time, please be patient. Oral antihyperglycemic therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus DIABETES MELLITUS IS A CHRONIC DISEASE that is growing in prevalence worldwide. Pharmacologic therapy is often necessary to achieve optimal glycemic control in the management of diabetes. Orally administered antihyperglycemic agents (OHAs) can be used either alone or in combination with other OHAs or insulin. The number of available OHAs has increased significantly in the last decade, which translates into more therapeutic options and complex decision-making for physicians. This review article is designed to help with these decisions. We review the mechanism of action, efficacy and side effects of the different classes of OHAs (-glucosidase inhibitors, biguanides, insulin secretagogues, insulin sensitizers and intestinal lipase inhibitor) and discuss the current recommendations for their use. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that is growing in prevalence worldwide. 1 Canadian data from the National Diabetes Surveillance Strategy demonstrate a prevalence of 4.8% among adults, with the vast majority having type 2 diabetes. 2 With the growing elderly Canadian population, the rising prevalence of obesity and the alarming increase in childhood and adolescent type 2 diabetes, the burden of this disease will continue to grow. Aggressive glycemic control has been de Continue reading >>

There have been no clinical studies establishing conclusive evidence of macrovascular risk reduction with TRADJENTA. Nasopharyngitis, hypoglycemia (when used in combination with sulfonylurea) The efficacy of TRADJENTA may be reduced when administered in combination with a strong P-gp or CYP3A4 inducer. Alternative treatments should be used. Use during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Exercise caution when administering to a nursing woman. Please see Prescribing Information and Medication Guide . INDICATION AND IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS OF USE TRADJENTA is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. TRADJENTA should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis. TRADJENTA has not been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis, and it is unknown if using TRADJENTA increases the risk of developing pancreatitis in these patients. TRADJENTA is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to linagliptin, such as anaphylaxis, angioedema, exfoliative skin conditions, urticaria, or bronchial hyperreactivity. Acute pancreatitis, including fatal pancreatitis, has been reported in patients taking TRADJENTA. Take careful notice of potential signs and symptoms of pancreatitis and, if suspected, promptly discontinue and initiate appropriate management. It is unknown whether patients with a history of pancreatitis are at increased risk for the development of pancreatitis while using TRADJENTA. Heart failure has been observed with two other members of the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor class. Consider the risks and benefits of TRADJENTA in patients at risk for heart failure, such as those with a prior history of heart failure and Continue reading >>

8. Pharmacologic Approaches To Glycemic Treatment

PHARMACOLOGIC THERAPY FOR TYPE 1 DIABETES Most people with type 1 diabetes should be treated with multiple daily injections of prandial insulin and basal insulin or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion. A Most individuals with type 1 diabetes should use rapid-acting insulin analogs to reduce hypoglycemia risk. A Consider educating individuals with type 1 diabetes on matching prandial insulin doses to carbohydrate intake, premeal blood glucose levels, and anticipated physical activity. E Individuals with type 1 diabetes who have been successfully using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion should have continued access to this therapy after they turn 65 years of age. E Insulin Therapy Insulin is the mainstay of therapy for individuals with type 1 diabetes. Generally, the starting insulin dose is based on weight, with doses ranging from 0.4 to 1.0 units/kg/day of total insulin with higher amounts required during puberty. The American Diabetes Association/JDRF Type 1 Diabetes Sourcebook notes 0.5 units/kg/day as a typical starting dose in patients who are metabolically stable, with higher weight-based dosing required immediately following presentation with ketoacidosis (1), and provides detailed information on intensification of therapy to meet individualized needs. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) position statement “Type 1 Diabetes Management Through the Life Span” additionally provides a thorough overview of type 1 diabetes treatment and associated recommendations (2). Education regarding matching prandial insulin dosing to carbohydrate intake, premeal glucose levels, and anticipated activity should be considered, and selected individuals who have mastered carbohydrate counting should be educated on fat and protein gram estimation (3–5). Although most Continue reading >>

The Korean Diabetes Association (KDA) recently updated the Clinical Practice Guidelines on antihyperglycemic agent therapy for adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In combination therapy of oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs), general recommendations were not changed from those of the 2015 KDA guidelines. The Committee on Clinical Practice Guidelines of the KDA has extensively reviewed and discussed the results of meta-analyses and systematic reviews of effectiveness and safety of OHAs and many clinical trials on Korean patients with T2DM for the update of guidelines. All OHAs were effective when added to metformin or metformin and sulfonylurea, although the effects of each agent on body weight and hypoglycemia were different. Therefore, selection of a second agent as a metformin add-on therapy or third agent as a metformin and sulfonylurea add-on therapy should be based on the patients clinical characteristics and the efficacy, side effects, mechanism of action, risk of hypoglycemia, effect on body weight, patient preference, and combined comorbidity. In this review, we address the results of meta-analyses and systematic reviews, comparing the effectiveness and safety among OHAs. It will help to choose the appropriate drug for an individual patient with T2DM. Principles of treatment with antihyperglycemic agents 1. Metformin is the preferred initial oral antihyperglycemic agent [A]. 2. If metformin is contraindicated or intolerable as the initial treatment, then another class of antihyperglycemic agent can be used, depending on the clinical situation [E]. 3. If monotherapy fails to achieve the glycemic goal, then combination therapy using a second agent with a different mechanism of action should be initiated [A]. 4. Dual combination therapy can be used as Continue reading >>
