Study Notes
Screening for Diabetes
- Screening for type 2 diabetes is recommended in the general adult population because:
- Type 2 diabetes is often preceded by a prolonged asymptomatic hyperglycemic period, which can lead to microvascular and macrovascular damage.
- Lifestyle interventions and medications can delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes in persons with prediabetes.
- Early intensive glucose control and management of hyperlipidemia and hypertension can prevent or reduce the progression of microvascular disease and macrovascular cardiovascular disease.
- The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) offer screening recommendations for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
- Screening for type 1 diabetes in the general population is not recommended.
Diagnostic Criteria for Diabetes Mellitus
- Diabetes mellitus can be diagnosed by an abnormal result on one of three tests:
- Hemoglobin A1c
- Fasting plasma glucose
- Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)
- An abnormal result in asymptomatic persons should be confirmed with repeat testing and/or two abnormal test results from the same sample.
- A single random plasma glucose value ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or greater in the setting of symptomatic hyperglycemia is diagnostic of diabetes and does not require further confirmatory testing.
Insulin Deficiency and Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
- Type 1 diabetes is characterized by a state of insulin deficiency secondary to the destruction of the insulin-producing β cells in the pancreas.
- The destruction may be secondary to autoimmune, idiopathic, or acquired insulin deficiency.
- Immune-mediated type 1 (type 1A) diabetes is the underlying cause of diabetes in 5% to 10% of persons newly diagnosed.
- Autoantibodies are typically present at diagnosis, including glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) and tyrosine phosphatases IA-2 and IA-2β.
- GAD65 autoantibodies have a high prevalence (70%) at the time of diagnosis and may remain detectable for years.
Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Insulin resistance is characterized by the ineffective use of insulin by the peripheral cells to process glucose and fatty acids.
- Blood glucose levels remain in the normal range as long as the β cells can increase insulin production.
- Hyperglycemia results from a relative insulin deficiency when the pancreas can no longer produce sufficient insulin to overcome the peripheral resistance.
- Obesity increases the risk for insulin resistance and predisposes to the development of type 2 diabetes.
- Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of risk factors for development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
- Gestational diabetes is defined as hyperglycemia during the second or third trimester in patients without a prepregnancy diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
- Patients with gestational diabetes are at an increased risk for development of recurrent gestational diabetes and type 2 diabetes.
- The ADA recommends screening for gestational diabetes between 24 and 28 weeks' gestation.
Management of Diabetes Mellitus
- Effective diabetes management is best achieved through a patient-centered approach with individualized goals and treatment plans.
- Patient education, blood glucose monitoring, lifestyle modifications, and pharmacologic therapies are essential components of diabetes management.
- The ADA recommends considering referral for diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) at the time of diagnosis, annually, and/or when treatment targets are unmet.
- DSMES has been shown to improve outcomes, such as hemoglobin A1c and quality of life.### Nutrition Therapy
- Nutrition therapy with a registered dietitian provides individualized diabetes-specific education to promote healthy diet choices and achieve glycemic and weight management goals.
- A decrease in overall carbohydrate intake results in improved glycemic control.
- Emphasize nutrient-dense carbohydrate sources high in fiber (≥14 g fiber/1000 kcal) and minimally processed, such as nonstarchy vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
- In patients with overweight and obesity with type 2 diabetes, a goal of at least 5% weight loss is recommended to improve glycemic control.
Physical Activity
- Moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic activity for 150 minutes/week, vigorous-intensity aerobic activity for 75 minutes/week, or a combination of both is recommended.
- Resistance training is recommended two or more times per week.
- Older adults with diabetes should engage in flexibility and balance training two to three times per week, if possible.
- Prolonged sedentary behavior should be interrupted at 30-minute intervals with light activity or standing.
Weight Loss Medications and Metabolic Surgery
- Weight loss medications or metabolic surgery are alternatives to consider if medical nutrition therapy and physical activity are unsuccessful.
- Metabolic surgery is recommended to treat type 2 diabetes in patients with BMI of 40 or greater (≥37.5 in Asian Americans) and in patients with BMI of 35.0 to 39.9 (32.5-37.4 in Asian Americans) for whom medical interventions are unsuccessful.
Pharmacologic Therapy
- Pharmacologic therapy should be individualized based on the patient's age, health status, weight, pathophysiology of hyperglycemia, specific risks and benefits of a potential therapeutic agent, medication cost, lifestyle, and personal treatment goals.
- The ADA recommends deintensifying pharmacologic therapy in older adults based on individualized goals.
- The American College of Physicians recommends a hemoglobin A1c level between 7% and 8% in most patients with type 2 diabetes.
Intensive Glycemic Control
- Intensive glycemic control significantly reduces the incidence and progression of microvascular complications in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
- Long-term follow-up demonstrated continued reductions in microvascular complications despite convergence in glycemic control between the study arms.
Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) Inhibitors
- SGLT2 inhibitors, such as empagliflozin, canagliflozin, and dapagliflozin, have been shown to reduce cardiovascular events and hospitalization for heart failure.
Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RAs)
- GLP-1 RAs, such as liraglutide and semaglutide, have been shown to reduce cardiovascular events and hospitalization for heart failure.
Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
- Life-long insulin therapy is required for persons with type 1 diabetes.
- An intensive insulin regimen should be prescribed, including multiple daily doses of insulin (MDI) to mimic the physiologic action of the pancreas.
- Initial total daily insulin dosing typically ranges from 0.4 to 1.0 U/kg/day in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Screening for Diabetes
- Screening for type 2 diabetes is recommended in the general adult population because:
- Type 2 diabetes is often preceded by a prolonged asymptomatic hyperglycemic period, which can lead to microvascular and macrovascular damage.
- Lifestyle interventions and medications can delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes in persons with prediabetes.
- Early intensive glucose control and management of hyperlipidemia and hypertension can prevent or reduce the progression of microvascular disease and macrovascular cardiovascular disease.

- Initial total daily insulin dosing typically ranges from 0.4 to 1.0 U/kg/day in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Therapy for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Comprehensive lifestyle modification, including weight management, physical activity, and smoking cessation, is first-line therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes.
- Pharmacotherapy should be started at the time of diagnosis, considering comorbidities, hypoglycemia risk, adverse effects, cost, and patient preference.
- Metformin is a recommended first-line oral agent due to its effectiveness and low hypoglycemia risk.
- Metformin initiation requires an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) greater than 45 mL/min/1.73 m2, and it is contraindicated at eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2.
- Vitamin B12 levels should be monitored annually due to reduced intestinal absorption.
Glycemic Control
- Assess glycemic control every 3 months, with adjustments to therapy until the target is achieved, and every 6 months if at goal.
- Intensification of treatment should not be delayed in patients with uncontrolled glycemia.
Pharmacologic Therapy
- Agents should be initiated in a stepwise approach, considering patient-specific goals, comorbidities, and hypoglycemia risk.
- GLP-1 RAs and/or SGLT2 inhibitors are recommended for patients with type 2 diabetes and established ASCVD or multiple ASCVD risk factors.
- SGLT2 inhibitors are recommended for patients with heart failure and chronic kidney disease.
- Insulin therapy may be necessary for patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, especially those with symptomatic hyperglycemia.
Diabetes Technology
- Hybrid CGM systems and insulin pump systems can be used to monitor and modify insulin delivery.
- Use of diabetes technology should be individualized based on each patient's interest, skill level, and needs.
Drug-Induced Hyperglycemia
- Several drugs can induce hyperglycemia through multiple mechanisms, and patients at risk should be monitored periodically.
Inpatient Management of Hyperglycemia
- Tight inpatient glycemic control is not consistently associated with improved outcomes and may increase mortality.
- Inpatient glycemic goals aim to avoid complications from severe hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
- Insulin therapy is preferred for inpatient management of hyperglycemia, with a goal of maintaining glucose levels between 140 and 180 mg/dL.
Hospitalized Patients With Diabetes Mellitus
- Critically ill patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes require intravenous insulin therapy with validated algorithm-based dosing.
- Noncritically ill patients with type 1 diabetes require basal insulin and prandial insulin therapy, while those with type 2 diabetes require insulin therapy if glucose levels are 180 mg/dL or higher.
Acute Complications of Diabetes Mellitus
- Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome (HHS) are life-threatening complications that require early and aggressive treatment.
- DKA typically occurs in individuals with type 1 diabetes, while HHS typically occurs in individuals with type 2 diabetes who are older than 65 years.
- Inciting factors for DKA and HHS include infection, myocardial infarction, nonadherence to diabetes therapy, stress, trauma, and confounding medications.
- Symptoms may include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, or shortness of breath.
Chronic Complications of Diabetes Mellitus
- Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in persons with diabetes mellitus.
- Diabetes is an independent risk factor for CVD, along with hypertension, dyslipidemia, tobacco use, family history, and albuminuria.
- Simultaneous management of CVD risk factors is recommended to decrease morbidity and mortality.### Management of Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease
- In patients with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease (CVD), multiple cardiovascular risk factors, or diabetic kidney disease, SGLT2 inhibitors and/or GLP-1 RAs with proven CVD benefit are recommended as part of the antihyperglycemic regimen.
- Combined therapy with an SGLT2 inhibitor and GLP-1 RA can be considered for additive reduction of the risk for adverse cardiovascular and kidney events.
- Patients with type 2 diabetes and established heart failure with either preserved or reduced ejection fraction should receive an SGLT2 inhibitor with proven cardiovascular benefit to reduce the risk for worsening heart failure, heart failure hospitalizations, and cardiovascular death.
Hypertension Management
- Hypertension contributes to the development of macrovascular and microvascular complications.
- The treatment target for blood pressure is below 130/80 mm Hg for most patients with diabetes, if possible to achieve safely.
- Recommended treatment strategies include lifestyle modifications (for blood pressure >120/80 mm Hg) and pharmacologic therapies (for blood pressure ≥130/80 mm Hg).
- Initial recommended antihypertensive regimens include ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, and thiazide diuretics.
- Multiple agents are often required to reach the blood pressure target.
Lipid Management
- Patients aged 40 to 75 years with diabetes should be started on a moderate-intensity statin; a high-intensity statin is reasonable if one or more ASCVD risk factors are present.
Antiplatelet Therapy
- Antiplatelet therapy with aspirin (75-162 mg/day) is recommended for secondary prevention in persons with diabetes and ASCVD.
- Aspirin for primary prevention of ASCVD in persons with diabetes may not provide universal benefit, and the decision to use aspirin should be individualized based on the patient's risk of bleeding and cardiovascular disease risk factors.
Diabetic Retinopathy
- Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of preventable blindness among persons with diabetes between ages 20 and 74 years in developed countries.
- Risk factors for diabetic retinopathy include duration of diabetes, degree of hyperglycemia, hypertension, albuminuria, and dyslipidemia.
- Diabetic retinopathy changes are classified as nonproliferative or proliferative.
- Optimal control of blood pressure, glucose, and lipid parameters can prevent and delay the progression of retinopathy.
- Panretinal laser photocoagulation can treat high-risk proliferative diabetic retinopathy and severe nonproliferative retinopathy.
- Intravitreal injection with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) is not inferior to panretinal laser photocoagulation for reducing vision loss associated with proliferative retinopathy.
Diabetic Kidney Disease
- Diabetic kidney disease is the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease.
- Diagnosis is typically made 5 to 10 years after the development of diabetes.
- Measurement of eGFR and screening for the presence of albuminuria is recommended for early detection of kidney disease.
- An elevated UACR level (≥30 mg/g) should be confirmed by multiple measurements over 3 to 6 months.
- Annual measurements of eGFR and UACR may identify progression of nephropathy and guide therapeutic decisions.
- Uncontrolled hypertension and hyperglycemia are risk factors for diabetic kidney disease; thus, treatment to attain blood pressure and glucose goals is recommended.
Therapy for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Comprehensive lifestyle modification, including weight management, physical activity, and smoking cessation, is first-line therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes.
- Pharmacotherapy should be started at the time of diagnosis, considering comorbidities, hypoglycemia risk, adverse effects, cost, and patient preference.

- Effectiveness of lifestyle interventions and medications in preventing or delaying onset
- Importance of early intensive glucose control and management of comorbidities
- The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) offer screening recommendations for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes
- Screening for type 1 diabetes in the general population is not yet recommended

- Diabetes mellitus can be diagnosed by an abnormal result on one of three tests:
- Hemoglobin A1c
- Fasting plasma glucose
- Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)
- An abnormal result in asymptomatic persons should be confirmed with repeat testing and/or two abnormal test results from the same sample
- A single random plasma glucose value ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) in the setting of symptomatic hyperglycemia is diagnostic of diabetes
Insulin Deficiency and Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
- Type 1 diabetes is characterized by insulin deficiency due to destruction of insulin-producing β cells in the pancreas
- Insulin deficiency can be due to:
- Autoimmune (type 1A)
- Idiopathic (type 1B)
- Acquired (e.g., pancreatectomy, pancreatitis)
- Type 1A diabetes is associated with:
- Genetic susceptibility
- Environmental factors
- Presence of autoantibodies (e.g., GAD65, IA-2)
- Type 1 diabetes has a variable presentation, ranging from moderate hyperglycemia to life-threatening diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)
- Insulin therapy is required for type 1 diabetes, and initiation at diagnosis may decrease toxicity associated with extreme hyperglycemia
Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
- Insulin resistance is characterized by ineffective use of insulin by peripheral cells
- Blood glucose levels remain normal as long as β cells can increase insulin production
- Hyperglycemia results from relative insulin deficiency when the pancreas can no longer produce sufficient insulin
- Obesity increases the risk for insulin resistance and predisposes to type 2 diabetes
- Type 2 diabetes is characterized by:
- Hyperglycemia accompanied by insulin resistance or relative insulin deficiency
- Multifactorial pathogenesis, including genetic and environmental factors
- Gradual onset, with most individuals remaining asymptomatic for several years
- Increased risk of microvascular and macrovascular complications
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
- Gestational diabetes is defined as hyperglycemia during the second or third trimester in patients without a prepregnancy diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 diabetes
- The ADA recommends screening for gestational diabetes in patients with risk factors, particularly those with a history of gestational diabetes
- Complications of gestational diabetes include:
- Macrosomia
- Labor and delivery complications
- Preeclampsia
- Neonatal hypoglycemia
- Spontaneous abortion
- Intrauterine fetal demise
Management of Diabetes Mellitus
-
Effective diabetes management is achieved through a patient-centered approach, incorporating:
- Patient education
- Blood glucose monitoring (BGM)
- Lifestyle modifications
- Pharmacologic therapies
-
Patient education and support are essential for diabetes self-management, and the ADA recommends considering referral for DSMES at the time of diagnosis
-
BGM is recommended for patients with diabetes, depending on patient circumstances, preferences, and treatment
-
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems can alert users to retrospective and current glucose trends, and are recommended for adults taking insulin.### Diabetes Management
-
Nutrition therapy with a registered dietitian provides individualized diabetes-specific education to promote healthy diet choices and achieve glycemic and weight management goals.
Dietary Recommendations
- The ADA recommends a decrease in overall carbohydrate intake to improve glycemic control.
- Emphasize nutrient-dense carbohydrate sources high in fiber (≥14 g fiber/1000 kcal) and minimally processed.
- Eating plans should focus on nonstarchy vegetables, fruits, whole grains, dairy products, and minimal added sugars.
Weight Management
- For patients with overweight and obesity with type 2 diabetes, a goal of at least 5% weight loss is recommended to improve glycemic control.
Physical Activity Recommendations
- Engage in moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic activity for 150 minutes/week, vigorous-intensity aerobic activity for 75 minutes/week, or a combination of both.
- Resistance training is recommended two or more times per week.
- Older adults with diabetes should engage in flexibility and balance training two to three times per week, if possible.
Alternative Therapies
- Weight loss medications or metabolic surgery may be considered if medical nutrition therapy and physical activity are unsuccessful.
- Metabolic surgery is recommended to treat type 2 diabetes in patients with BMI of 40 or greater (≥37.5 in Asian Americans) and in patients with BMI of 35.0 to 39.9 (32.5-37.4 in Asian Americans) for whom medical interventions are unsuccessful.
Pharmacologic Therapy
- Pharmacologic therapy should be individualized based on the patient's age, health status, weight, pathophysiology of hyperglycemia, specific risks and benefits of a potential therapeutic agent, medication cost, lifestyle, and personal treatment goals.
- Target hemoglobin A1c thresholds should be based on a patient's health status.
Smoking Discontinuation
- Smoking discontinuation is one of the most important aspects of treatment in patients with diabetes who smoke.
Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
- Life-long insulin therapy is required for persons with type 1 diabetes.
- An intensive insulin regimen should be prescribed, which includes multiple daily doses of insulin to mimic the physiologic action of the pancreas.
Insulin Regimen
- The insulin regimen should include basal coverage to maintain glycemic control while fasting and between meals, prandial coverage, and supplemental insulin for correction of hyperglycemia.
- Initial total daily insulin dosing typically ranges from 0.4 to 1.0 U/kg/day in patients with type 1 diabetes.
