L - if 100 -120 mg/d. L, increase 2 units - if 120 -140 mg/d. L, increase 4 units - if 140 -160 mg/d. L, increase 6 units - if 160 -180 mg/d.

Advancing Basal/Bolus Insulin l Indicated when FBG acceptable but – Hb. A 1 c > 7% or > 6. 5% and/or – SMBG before dinner > 140 mg/d. L l Insulin options – To glargine or NPH, add mealtime aspart / lispro – To suppertime 70/30, add morning 70/30 – Consider insulin pump therapy l Oral agent options – Usually stop sulfonylurea – Continue metformin for weight control – Continue glitazone for glycemic stability?

Multiple Daily Injections l Starting dose 0. 2 x wgt. in lbs. l Wgt. 180 lbs which = 36 units l Bolus dose (lispro/aspart) = 20% of starting dose at each meal, which = 7 units ac (tid) l Basal dose (glargine) = 40% of starting dose at HS, which = 14 units at HS l Correction bolus = (BG - 100)/ SF, where SF = 1500/total daily dose = 1500/36 = 40
Correction Bolus Formula Current BG - Ideal BG Glucose Correction factor Example: – Current BG: – Ideal BG: 220 mg/dl 100 mg/dl – Glucose Correction Factor: 40 mg/dl 220 - 100 =3. 0 u 40
Strategies to Improve Glycemic Control: Type 2 Diabetes l Monitor glycemic targets – Fasting and postprandial glucose, Hb. A 1 c l Self-monitoring of blood glucose is essential l Nutrition and activity are cornerstones of therapy l Combinations of pharmacologic agents are often necessary to achieve glycemic targets
Conclusion Intensive therapy is the best way to treat patients with diabetes
