2 Diabetes in Ireland 2015: Estimated prevalence of diabetes 5.5% Estimated prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance 6.6% 75,900 people with undiagnosed diabetes Mean diabetes-related expenditure per person with diabetes 4,692 Diabetes related deaths (20-79) 1,568 National prevalence of diabetes estimated to rise from 5.5% in 2013 to 8 % in Based on UN 2012 (adjusted for 2013) population estimate of 3,209,000. International Diabetes Federation. IDF Diabetes Atlas, 6th edn. Brussels, Belgium: International Diabetes Federation, Last accessed March 2014.

3 Age-adjusted relative risk for Type 2 diabetes Diabetes and obesity are closely interlinked Relationship between BMI and risk of Type diabetes 75 Normal weight Overweight Obese 50 Women Men 25 0 <23 < < < < < < < BMI (kg/m 2 ) *Results are from two different studies. The first study is from a cohort of 27,983 US male health professionals, years of age in 1986 who completed biennial questionnaires sent out in 1986, 1988, 1990 and 1992 (follow-up: ). The second study is from a cohort of 114,281 US female registered nurses, years of age in 1976 who completed questionnaires (follow-up: ). BMI, body mass index. Adapted from: 1. Chan J, et al.

10 The Big Idea The benefits of using protocol driven care translates into a Life expectancy closer to normal with a 60% drop in micro/macrovascular complications vs. conventional treatment followed over 13 yrs. 1 60% drop in all cause mortality and end stage renal disease over 2 years 2 1.

Dundrum Co-Down ,000+ Diabetes patients managed in Primary Care; with support from a Diabetes Specialist Nurse [DSN] and GP Specialist Common computer system [EMIS]and agreed protocol of care [15 GP s] Care is PRACTICE-BASED; the DSN [advising the Practice Nurse & GP], along with Podiatry& Dietetic support at the GP Diabetes clinics Real & Virtual clinics run by DSN{with GP Specialist supervision} for those failing to achieve targets. Action is implemented by patient s GP, following DSN input

16 Donard Commissioning Group The Objective is to Treat To Target. The agreed targets { individualised } are as follows; A1c <7.5% [ =53-58mmol/mol ] BP<140/90 Chol <4 & LDL-c <2mMol NB: Treat to target means action is mandatory when the A1c is > than 7.5%[58mMol+], over a 3-6 month period.don t wait for failure! 66 % achieve the individualised A1c target 75% achieve the individualised BP target 87% achieve the individualised Lipid target from the Audit, Dundrum Clinic, Donard GP Commissioning Group

23 Hypoglycaemia in clinical practice 3% of people with type 2 diabetes experienced severe hypoglycaemia over a 12 month period [50% due to SU s] People of all ages who experienced severe hypoglycaemia had a 79% increased risk of suffering an acute cardiovascular event Hypoglycaemia directly preceded an acute cardiovascular event in over 25% of people People who experienced severe hypoglycaemia incurred a 2 fold greater health related expenditure Johnston et al. Diabetes care March 2011

24 Weight gain For every BMI increase of 1kg/M2, the risk of heart failure increases by 5% in men and 7% in women.(kenchaiah 2002) a 5kg increase in body weight increases the risk of CHD by up to 29%...(Anderson 2001, 2003) Obese : 3 subsets #1: The FEASTERS [<GLP1,<signalling &find it hard to stop #2: Emotional Eaters eat food to manage emotion [CBT] #3: The Constant Cravers,linked to genes, constantly hungry[5:2 Diet] cf bbc.co.uk/rightdiet 13/1/2015

25 Positivity/Optimism More targeted drugs [ultra-quick insulin, hepatoselective insulin, oral insulin ]; drugs that are activated as glucose rises. Better weight loss medication to > insulin sensitivity. CGM {continuous glucose monitoring} which eradicated hypoglycaemia and facilitates better BG control. Stem cells to cure and vaccines to eradicate Type1 Drugs which selectively block the development of diabetic complications

26 The key to Diabetes { & much more!} is knowledge, behavioural skills & self-responsibility The end of man is knowledge, but there is one thing he can t know. He can t know whether knowledge will save him or kill him. He will be killed, all right, but he can t know whether he is killed because of the knowledge which he has got or because of the knowledge which he hasn t got and which if he had it would save him.
