Glycemic control and infected diabetic foot
- The infective catabolic insulin resistant state
- Aggressive approach- Methods of control- Limitations- Nutritional considerations- General management
3
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The infected foot: 1 Infected large ulcersApparent / unapparent deep seated abscessesWide-spread infection and subsequent inflammation
4
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The infected foot:2 Failure of body to localize the infection*
Endotoxemia
Septicaemia
Necrotising fascitis
Multiorgan failure
5
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The infected foot: 3 Febrile, toxic, catabolic state, Tissue breakdown high, Negative nitrogen balance,High degree of insulin resistanceNutritional support difficultCritical care setting
6
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The infected foot: 4 On the horns of dilemma:Glycemic control haywire, difficult to achieveCause of uncontrolled diabetes is in foot infectionFoot cannot be tackled as control is poorBalance – golden mean necessary
7
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The aggressive approach: 1Medical assessment
Hydration / NutritionAntibiotics
Surgical treatment - Operative / Conservative
Insulin administration
8
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The aggressive approach - 2 Establishing investigative parameters:Hemogram – baseline counts, peripheral smear picture, status of anemiaUrine – ketones – as a baseline and guide of managementAlbumin for nephropathy
9
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The aggressive approach – 3Renal parameters: baseline creatinine
Patient likely to go in ARF
For monitoring recovery if so
Electrolytes: Sodium for functional importance, K+ a dangerous cation in ARF
10
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The aggressive approach – 4 Renal parameters – daily onceElectrolytes – even multiple monitoring in a day may be essential.Blood gases: To distinguish metabolic / respiratory acidosis – mixed pictures -Important monitoring aid for acid /base status* To assess hypoxic status
11
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The aggressive approach– 5Baseline electrocardiogram for normal variant patterns – LBBB, IRBB, RBBB, bigeminyBaseline chest x-ray:For comparing newer shadows – ARDS, PTE, collapse, consolidation, effusion,Pneumothrorax
12
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The aggressive approach – 6 Glucose monitoring:Multiple blood glucose monitoringTiming and type of insulin therapy coinciding with monitoringBedside rapid assay - reliable meters proper technique and daily calibration - mandatory
13
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The aggressive approach – 7Assessing hydration: 1Central venous access - brachial Reliable, often mandatory Facilitates rapid hydration Multiple IV access possible, Dehydration – invitation to ARF, thrombosis
14
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The aggressive approach – 8Types of central venous access -The best: Sub-clavian - costly, needs expertiseVery occasionally pneumothoraxAdvantages:Most reliable for assessing hydration statusCan be maintained for long

15
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The aggressive approach – 8 Multiple infusions through 3 ways possibleTPN – easy. Low infectivity. Ambulation possible Frees legs and armsJugular messy, inconvenient, difficult to maintain, administer drugs, specially on respirators
16
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The aggressive approach – 9 Next best: AnticubitalEasy, less costlyReliable for hydration assessmentLow infective potentialTPN not difficult
Contd.
17
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The aggressive approach – 9Anticubital maintained 7 –10 days
Femoral – avoided far as possible
Central venous pressure monitoring –
A must, 1/2/3/day
18
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The aggressive approach – 10 Nutrition: Higher calorie intake mandatoryHigher insulin dosing mandatoryTPN: If intake is poor, if serum albumin lowBegin as early as felt required200 gm of glucose mandatory per dayLipids / albumin infusion / whole bloodReady tube feeding mixtures, costly but have balanced elements, vitamins.
19
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The aggressive approach – 11Antibiotics:Infections often mixedCephalosporinsQuinolonesAminoglycosides – Amikacin, MetronidazoleGuided by: Blood Culture, wound swabs
20
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
The aggressive approach – 12Blood culture:10 – 15 ml blood to be drawnBefore antibiotics orJust prior to next dosePus culture from wounds
21
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
Insulin regimens: 1In the worst cases:Food intake poor,Dependence on iv insulin therapyNo glucose infusions if blood glucose > 400 mg, Normal saline preferred
22
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
Insulin regimens: 2 DKA - .4 units x kg body weightRapid acting insulin – bolus ½ IV, ½ IM (if no hypotension)N / ½ N Saline with 5 – 7 u/hrThe rate or the insulin concentrationcan be varied
23
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
Insulin regimens: 3 Hourly monitoring if BG > 400 mg/dlInfuse dextrose with insulin – once glucose is lowered to about 200 mg/dlStart dextrose saline 5 – 7 u/hrMonitor, adjustK+ supplements – freely if kidneys are intact, urine output is good, hydration established
24
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
Insulin regimens: 4 - Thumb rules:Blood glucose < 100 mg/dl No insulin100 – 200 mg/dl 1 – 2 u/hr200 – 300 mg/dl 2 – 3 u/hr300 – 400 mg/dl 3 – 4 u/hr>400 mg N Saline + 5 – 7 u/hr (100 ml/hr)Scales need upward shifting 1.5 to 3 – 4 times
25
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
Insulin regimens: 5 K+ supplementation: Calculations: Needs – in DKA at baseline 250 mmol / d .3 (4 - K+ in serum) x kg body weight Readjustments depending on monitoring Na replacements: .6 x (140 – Na+) x body weight, Bicarbs better avoided
26
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
Results: Hydration, CVP 10-12 cmsRespiratory rate , Pulse rate Blood pressure stabilizesBlood gas – pH 7.3, HCO3 15 mmol/L
Blood glucose 150-200 mg/dl ketones may persistPatient ready for surgery
27
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
In less severe cases:Patient not acidoticIs able to eat, drinkInfection spread arrestedNeeds surgical interventionI.V. dependence not heavyOther insulin regimens
28
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
In hospital insulin regimens:MSII –Rapid acting insulin before breakfast, before lunch and around 5 p.m.Before dinner –Rapid + intermediate acting insulin, sc
29
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
Monitoring MSII Fasting blood glucosePre lunch (decides fasting as well as prelunch dose)Post lunch – can modulate 5 p.m. dosePre dinner – Rapid control possible
30
Glycemic control anddiabetic foot
MSII Cascading doses:Relatively higher pre breakfast Insulin – 12 – 16 or more unitsPre lunch 2 – 4 units less5 p.m. – further 2 – 4 units lessPre dinner – adjustedIntermediate acting controls Dawn phenomenon
31
Glycemic control and diabetic footPost operatively or in a more stable patient
Split mix – 30:70 or 50:50Recent trial – equal ratingPre – dinner and pre breakfastCould be supplemented by a short acting pre lunch small dose 6 – 10 unitsMonitoring – fasting, post lunch Post dinner or pre dinner

Distinctions - 1 Hydrating fluids (mainly saline) separate from insulin infusions. Rate of infusion may vary.Blood adds to glucose levels marginally.I.V. fructose may lead to hypertriglyceridemaLipids – insulin required for metabolism
