General Attributes of Medical Visits
Acute• patient seeks doctors
advice for a problem• frequently a “complaint”
– headache– chest pain– cough
Chronic• regularly scheduled
appointment• usually no “complaint”
– fu effectiveness of treatment
– monitor for complications of treatment or disease
General Attributes of Medical Visits cont.
Acute• History and physical
– focuses on determining the cause of the complaint
• More likely to be physician directed for treatment
Chronic• History and physical
– focuses on issues related to the chronic disease
• Usually requires the patient actively deciding goals of therapy and treatment
Introduction to Diabetes Mellitus
• Epidemiology
• Diagnosis and classification
• Goals of diabetes management
Epidemiology of Diabetes
• 15.7 million Americans have diabetes
–10.3 million diagnosed
–5.4 million not diagnosed
• 90% have type 2 diabetes• 8.2% of people aged 45 to 64 in
Arkansas have diabetes

Chronic Complications of Diabetes
• Macrovascular– coronary artery disease– cerebral vascular disease– peripheral vascular disease
• Microvascular– retinopathy– nephropathy– neuropathy
Introduction to Diabetes Mellitus
• Epidemiology
• Diagnosis and classification
• Goals of diabetes management
ADA 1997 Diagnostic Criteria for Diabetes Mellitus
1. Fasting plasma glucose >126 mg/dl* or
2. Symptoms plus random plasma glucose >200 mg/dl* or
3. Oral glucose tolerance test 2-hr plasma glucose >200 mg/dl*
* Must confirm on another day unless DKA or HHNC; not for pregnancy
ADA Diabetes Care 2000
ADA 1997 Diagnostic Criteria for Diabetes Mellitus
1. Fasting plasma glucose >126 mg/dl – 8 hour fast– preferred test for diagnosis– NOT capillary blood glucose
ADA 1997 Diagnostic Criteria for Diabetes Mellitus
2. Symptoms plus random plasma glucose >200 mg/dl – polyuria– polydipsia– polyphagia– weight loss– fatigue– poor healing
ADA 1997 Diagnostic Criteria for Diabetes Mellitus
3. Oral glucose tolerance test plasma glucose 2-hr >200 mg/dl
– 75 gram glucose load– 2 hour post glucose load plasma glucose– primarily for research
ADA 1997 Etiologic Classification of Diabetes
• Type 1 diabetes
• Type 2 diabetes
• Gestational diabetes
• Other specific types
ADA Diabetes Care 2000
Type 1 Diabetes
-cell destruction
• Usually leading to absolute insulin deficiency
• Ketosis prone
• Two forms– immune-mediated – idiopathic which is rare and without known cause
Type 1 DiabetesImmune-mediated
• Commonly occurs in childhood• May occur any age, even 9th decade• Rate of -cell destruction variable
– usually rapid in childhood– may be slow in adults
• Markers include– islet cell autoantibodies– autoantibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase
Type 1 Diabetes:Typical Presentation
• Young age
• Thin
• Classic symptoms– polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia and weight loss
• May have diabetic ketoacidosis
• No family history of diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes
• Impaired insulin action– insulin resistance– primarily peripheral tissue defect
• Impaired insulin secretion– relative insulin deficiency– primarily -cell defect
Glucose
Liver
Peripheral Tissues(Muscle)
Pancreas
Increased glucoseproduction
Impaired insulinsecretion
Insulinresistance
Causes of Hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes
• Most are obese
• Spontaneous ketoacidosis rare
• Ketoacidosis may occur with stress
• Strong genetic predisposition
Type 2 Diabetes:Typical Presentation
• Many people are asymptomatic– Routine physical– Preop labs
• Not uncommon to present with complication– MI– Peripheral neuropathy– Foot ulcer
• Frequently family history diabetes
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus
• Any degree of glucose intolerance
• First recognition during pregnancy
• Reclassify 6 weeks postpartum
Other Specific Types
• Diseases of the exocrine pancreas– pancreatitis
• Drug- or chemical-induced– glucocorticoids– nicotinic acid
• Many others
Introduction to Diabetes Mellitus
• Epidemiology
• Diagnosis and classification
• Goals of diabetes management
Goals of Diabetes Management
• Prevention of acute complications– significant hypoglycemia– symptomatic hyperglycemia including DKA
• Prevention of microvascular complications
• Prevention of macrovascular complications
• Attainment of normal quality of life
Diabetes Control and Complication Trial
• 1441 type 1 diabetes
• Conventional therapy: 1-2 insulin injections per day
• Intensive therapy: 3-4 insulin injections per day or insulin pump
• Followed average of 6.5 years
• Published 1993

ADA Diabetes Care 2000
Prevention of Macrovascular Disease
• Control of hypertension
• Control of lipids
• Cessation of smoking
• Aspirin use
Prevention of Macrovascular Disease: Control of Hypertension
• UKPDS substudy proved effectiveness of BP control– Intensive control (mean 144/82 vs 154/87)
reduced strokes 44%, diabetes related deaths 32% and heart failure 56%
• Goal <130/85 mmHg
• ACE inhibitor currently preferred due to renal protective effect
ADA Diabetes Care 2000
Prevention of Macrovascular Disease:Control of Lipids
• Primary goal is LDL cholesterol <100 mg/dl– same as NCEP guidelines for secondary
prevention– due to very high risk of CAD in diabetes
• Secondary goal is HDL cholesterol >45 mg/dl for men and >55 mg/dl in women
ADA Diabetes Care 2000
Prevention of Macrovascular Disease: Cessation of Smoking
• Cigarette smoking and diabetes– increases risk of morbidity and mortality of CVD
• Counsel to quit smoking
ADA Diabetes Care 2000
Prevention of Macrovascular Disease: Aspirin Use
• Low dose aspirin– 81-325 mg/day if >21 YO
• Secondary prevention – MI, stroke, TIA, PVD, angina, claudication
• Primary prevention if high risk– family history CVD, cigarette smoking,
hypertension, obese, albuminuria, dyslipidemia
ADA Diabetes Care 2000
Attainment of Normal Quality of Life
• Patient at center of team of health care providers
• Psychosocial issues extremely important

Patient Education: Diabetes Self-Management
• Understand diabetes disease process– emphasis on benefit of good control
• Learn appropriate diet– individualized diet plans
• Learn self-monitoring of blood glucose– use of meter– what to do with the results
Patient Education: Diabetes Self-Management cont.
• Learn how to use prescribed medications– how it works– when to take it– side effects
• Learn how to balance diet, exercise and medications as well as stress
• Learn sick day rules
Psychosocial Issues:Impact of the Disease
• May be devastating due to fear of complications
• May be overwhelming due to complexity of caring for the disease– must watch what they eat, when they eat, take
medications on time, juggle activity with food intake and medications, go to the doctor regularly
– can not just think about it occasionally
Psychosocial Issues:Other
• Many psychosocial issues may impact the ability of the patient to care for themselves– lack of money, access to healthcare providers– turmoil in family such as caring for a dying
parent, spouse with Alzheimer’s disease, child involved with drugs
– psychiatric illness such as depression greatly impairs the patient’s ability to care for diabetes
Summary of Goals of Diabetes Management
• HbA1c <7%
• BP <130/85
• LDL cholesterol <100 mg/dl
• Smoking cessation
• 1 aspirin/day
• Normal quality of life
Follow Up Visit for Diabetes
• Chief complaint
• History since last visit
• Physical exam
• Laboratory
Follow Up Visit for Diabetes: Chief Complaint
• Usually routine visit
• May have additional complaint(s)– evaluate as usual in addition to routine visit if
possible
Follow Up Visit for Diabetes: Basic History
• Can be from chart and/or obtain from the patient– type of diabetes– duration of diabetes– complications of diabetes– medications for treatment of diabetes (always
confirm)– all other medications (always confirm)
Follow Up Visit for Diabetes:History Since Last Visit
• Problems with management plan– medication, diet, exercise
• Results of self-monitoring of blood glucose– review log book of results and comments
• Specifically question about hypoglycemia– do not assume they will tell you or that it is
marked in their log book
Follow Up Visit for Diabetes:History Since Last Visit cont.
• Question about any changes – health– social issues– family history that effects patient’s CVD risk
• Review need for referral for yearly dilated eye exam (screening for retinopathy)
Follow Up Visit for Diabetes:Laboratory
• Review HbA1c results and goals
• Review lipid results and goals
• Review need for yearly lab– microalbuminuria (screening for early
nephropathy)
Follow Up Visit for Diabetes:Physical Exam
• BP, weight, height (yearly for adults)
• Previous abnormalities on exam– Focus is commonly cardiovascular as well as
funduscopic exam and insulin injection sites
• Foot exam in high risk patients– peripheral neuropathy– prior foot ulcer or amputation
