YET 6% of people receive DSME in the first year of DM
YET 6% of people receive DSME in the first year of DM
why is it so difficult to treat T2DM?
because it is progressive and waiting can increase A1c
what is the stepwise treatment?
1) lifestyle modification
2) oral medications
3) incretins
4) insulin
most physicians enlist the "treat to fail algorithm"

3) incretins
4) insulin
most physicians enlist the "treat to fail algorithm"
what is the "treat to fail algorithm"?
treat the the pt until they fail and add medication when its already too late, and then treat again when they fail again = very discouraging
what is the ADA recommendation for treatment of diabetes?
1) lifestyle modification + metformin
If after 3 months there is improvement but not to the extent that is wanted
2) add a second drug = dual therapy
If after another 3 months there is not the right amount of improvement
3) add a third drug
if none of that works after another 3 months
add insulin

why do short period (2-3 years) studies not show glucose control benefits for CV disease?
because there needs to be long term data to look at the benefits i.e. 10 year follow up
what are guidelines for glucose monitoring?
Glucose measurement should match the intensity of treatment
- tell pts what they are doing it for, what the levels should be
- rare checks if no meds
- 3-7 checks per week on insulin sensitizers only

- rare checks if no meds
- 3-7 checks per week on insulin sensitizers only

what are some tips to get control of T2DM?
lifestyle should always be used but only part of the treatment
start aggressively and then back off
assume each medication reduces A1c by 1%
never substitute meds = always add new agent first, titrate to get control, then stop first agent
ask the pt what they want = shots vs. pills
develop a plan that prevents hypoglycemia
