What are you taking your medications for? My physician prescribes the prescription ones for my diabetes, high blood pressure and arthritis. I don t have any complaints about them.. I ve been taking them for a while now. I take my aspirin because I had a heart attack 5 years ago and I think the calcium goes with my arthritis medicines. I also see a chiropractor for my back pain and to help my joints, and he recommended most of my supplements I am taking.
Assessment 68 year-old female with uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus using metformin 850 mg, glipizide 10 mg and basal insulin to manage her diabetes Requires medication optimization and lifestyle modifications Financial considerations with her Medicare Plan
Assessment Does she require other medication interventions to meet the ADA 2018 Standards of Care? If she does, what other medication interventions is she a candidate for? ACEi/ARB microalbuminuria + BP Metformin dose Statin therapy clinical ASCVD Aspirin dose https://www.aafp.org/afp/2014/0215/p256.html
Assessment Does she require any other non-medication related interventions to meet the ADA 2018 Standards of Care? If she does, what? Immunizations PCV13 PPSV23 (at least 5 years after previous PPSV23 dose) Annual influenza Hepatitis B 3 dose series (?) Medical Nutrition Therapy Referrals? Lab work?
Assessment What social determinants of health should we take into consideration with this patient case? Food insecurity Transportation Health Literacy Housing? Finances
Plan (Drug Therapy) Diabetes Nonprescription: Decrease Aspirin to once daily D/C Cinnamon and Fish Oil? Prescription: Metformin: increase dose to 2,000 mg daily D/C Glipizide (?) Plan to increase Lantus (insulin glargine) dose OR consider Xultophy (insulin degludec and liraglutide) Add empagliflozin vs. liraglutide?
Plan (Standards of Care) Optimize: Lifestyle: exercise + diet Candidate for high-intensity statin Albuminuria: initiate ACEi/ARB Vaccinations: PCV13 + PPSV23, Influenza, Hepatitis B(?) Confirm Appointments: Lab work? Follow-up appointments
Patient s Plan Goals of Therapy: Reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and keep blood glucose at/near normal levels Manage drug therapy to reduce the risk of adverse events Goals: A1C Goal: ADA 2018 - <7% BG Goals: FBG 80-130 mg/dl; PPG <180 mg/dl BP Goal: <140/90 mmhg Cholesterol Goal: appropriate statin therapy
Patient s Plan Drug Therapy: Could consider: Initiate Xultophy 100/3.6 (insulin degludec and liraglutide) titrated to 50 units Discontinue lantus + glipizide Increase metformin to 1,000 mg twice daily D/C Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg and initiate Lisinopril 10 mg/hydrochorothiazide 25 mg Initiate atorvastatin 40-80 mg Vaccines: Obtain patient s charts
Implementing the Plan (Education) Diet Reduce: saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol intake Increase: dietary n-3 fatty acids, viscous fiber, plant stanols/sterols Physical Activity Low-impact, weight bearing exercise 150 minutes of aerobic activity Diabetes (in general) SMBG home monitoring Technology use??
Monitoring Xultophy Counseling on nausea & how to reduce Pen and needle use (rotate injection site no sharing, disposal) Hypoglycemia counseling Educate on goals and titrating dose Lisinopril/Hydrocholorthiazide: Home blood pressure monitoring Educate on goals Atorvastatin: Timing, side effect potential Follow-up lab work?
Evaluate & Monitor Short-term (1 to 3 months) Adverse events Adherence Follow-up appointment with physician (3 months) + a1c Confirm referrals Intermediate-term (3 to 12 months) Adherence to medication therapy Weight loss goals? Determine follow-up plan Long-term (12+ months) Follow-up lab work Confirm all interdisciplinary appointments
Key Points ADA 2018 Guidelines focus on individualization and evidencedbased recommendations including incorporation of medications with known cardiovascular benefit and the use of technology in diabetes management Empagliflozin and liraglutide received FDA approval for reduction of cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes and preexisting heart disease Heart failure with DPP-IV inhibitors doesn t appear to be a class effect
