    Study Notes

    Symptoms of Undiagnosed Diabetes

    • Classic symptoms include: excessive urination (polyuria), excessive thirst (polydipsia), excessive hunger (polyphagia).
    • Additional symptoms may include: blurred vision, fatigue, slow-healing wounds, dry mouth, frequent infections.

    Type 1 vs. Type 2 Diabetes

    • Type 1 Diabetes (T1DM): Characterized by autoimmune destruction of beta cells in the pancreas, requiring insulin for survival. Typically develops at a younger age and is often associated with a lean body type.
    • Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM): Involves insulin resistance, and often develops gradually, frequently linked to obesity. May not initially require insulin.

    Diabetes Diagnosis and Risk Assessment

    • Diabetes: A1c (glycated hemoglobin) level of 6.5% or higher indicates diabetes.
    • Prediabetes: An A1c between 5.7% and 6.4% suggests prediabetes.
    • Normal: An A1c level below 5.7% indicates normal blood glucose levels.

    Understanding A1c

    • A1c measurement reflects average blood glucose levels over approximately three months.
    • It measures the amount of glucose attached to hemoglobin.

    A1c Targets for Patients

    • A specific A1c target for most patients is provided; this information is missing from the original provided text.

    Insulin Types and Actions

    • Ultra-rapid acting: Includes Fiasp (insulin aspart) and Lyumjev (insulin lispro-aabc); onset is ~5-10 minutes to ~15 minutes, durations are 3-5 hours. Administered at the start of a meal or within 20 minutes after starting.
    • Rapid acting: Includes Admelog (insulin lispro), Humalog (insulin lispro), NovoLog (insulin aspart), and Apidra (insulin glulisine); onset times range from 10-20 minutes to up to 30 minutes, and durations are 3-5 hours. Administration varies by type: 15-30 minutes before a meal or immediately after. Apidra, for example, is typically 5-10 minutes prior to a meal, or within 20 minutes after.
    • Short acting: Includes Humulin R U-100 (regular insulin), Novolin R U-100 (regular insulin), and Afrezza (inhalation, regular insulin). Onset is around 30 minutes, durations are 8 hours. Humulin R U-500 (concentrated regular insulin) has a duration closer to 21 hours. Methods of adminstration depend on the individual type, prior to a meal or at the start, inhaling is also an option.
    • Intermediate Acting: Includes Humulin N (neutral protamine Hagedorn) and Novolin N (NPH); onset is 1.5 hours, and durations of 12-24 hours. Administered once or twice daily for basal insulin coverage. Twice daily dosing is often necessary to achieve 24-hour basal insulin coverage.
    • Long Acting: Includes Lantus (insulin glargine), Basaglar (insulin glargine), Semglee (insulin glargine-yfgn), Rezvoglar (insulin glargine-aglr), and Toujeo (insulin glargine); onset 1.5 hours, and durations of 24-36 hours. These are typically administered once daily.
    • Ultra-Long Acting: Includes Tresiba (insulin degludec); onset of 1.5 hours, and a duration of 36-42 hours. Administered once daily.
