Study Notes
Diabetes Types and Diagnosis
- Type 1 diabetes is typically diagnosed in children, teens, or young adults.
- Significant difference: Type 1 diabetes results from an autoimmune attack on insulin-producing cells, while Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance.
- Gestational diabetes is usually diagnosed during pregnancy, typically around the 24th to 28th week.
- Risk factors for Gestational diabetes include obesity, but being over 40 years of age does not contribute to an increased risk.
Prevalence and Statistics
- Approximately 34% of the U.S. population aged 65 years or older have prediabetes.
Medications and Abbreviations
- SGLT2 (Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2) is associated with medications such as empagliflozin.
- SMBG stands for Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose.
- REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) indicates serious safety concerns on prescription drug labels.
- A1C is commonly used to indicate average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months.
- DKA (Diabetic Ketoacidosis) refers to hyperglycemia resulting from insulin deficiency.
- SU (Sulfonylureas) denotes oral medications that increase insulin release from the pancreas.
Diabetes Testing and Risk Factors
- Recommended age to begin diabetes testing for all patients is 45 years.
- Family history is NOT considered a risk factor for testing.
- FPG (Fasting Plasma Glucose) level of 100-125 mg/dL is classified as prediabetes.
- A family history of Type 1 diabetes is NOT a component of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) diagnosis.
Clinical Guidelines
- Insulin resistance can manifest as acanthosis nigricans.
- If diabetes test results are normal, retesting should occur every 3 years according to ADA guidelines.
- Metformin decreases HbA1c by approximately 0.5-1% as monotherapy.
- Canagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor dosed between 100-300 mg before the first main meal.
Monitoring and Recommendations
- Foot examinations for patients at high risk for ulcerations should occur every 3-6 months.
- DPP4 inhibitors are NOT recommended to be combined with GLP-1 receptor agonists.
- An annual dilated eye exam for diabetic patients is recommended.
Vaccinations and Considerations
- Hepatitis A vaccine is NOT included in the standard diabetes care immunization schedule.
- Consider individual circumstances in decision-making regarding diabetes management.
Publications and Resources
- The IDF Diabetes Atlas, 10th edition was published by the International Diabetes Federation.
- The article on semaglutide and cardiovascular outcomes was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2016.
- Suggested strategies for diabetes therapy include individualized care plans.
- The National Diabetes Statistics Report, 2020 is accessible via the CDC website.
- Gliclazide has NOT been associated with cardiovascular outcomes in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
