Case 1: 52-year-old male

Programmed Insulin Therapy

• Insulin replacement therapy in type 1 diabetes Basal Bolus

• Insulin supplementation in type 2 diabetes

Change RISSC for PIT– Avoid oral antidiabetic agents– Use basal insulin for supplementation– Avoid insulin meal coverage in T2DM

• Intensive Intravenous Insulin Therapy

Programmed Insulin Therapy (PIT): Goals

• Provide education and improve patient care

• Better but less intensive and cost effective glycemic control– Optimize Point of care CBG– Avoid HYPOGLYCEMIA– Avoid HYPERGLYCEMIA– Avoid “glucose toxicity”

• Continuity of care

• Improve LOS

Programmed Insulin Therapy (PIT):Insulin dose

• Use intermediate or long-acting insulins:– Lantus (glargine) can be given at AM, bed time, or at any time,

but should be “synchronized to the same hour every day– NPH, 7AM (50% of daily dose) and bed-time (50% of daily dose)

• Starting dose by weight and other factors– 0.3 units/Kg/day in end-organ failure– 0.5 units/Kg/day in stable medical patients– 0.7 units/Kg/day in surgical interventions or acute illnesses

• Constant dose adjustments

Insulins Peak (duration) hrs• RAPID-ACTING

– Humalog lispro 1-2 (2-6)– Novolog aspart 1-2 (2-6)– Apidra glulisine 1-2 (2-6)

Absolute insulin deficiency

Insulin Therapy “Basal – Bolus” Concept

· Some insulin is secreted at all times – the basal insulin

· Incremental amounts of insulin are secreted in response to rising postprandial glucose levels –the bolus insulin

• T1DM Insulin replacement 0.3-0.5 U/Kg/D – 2/3 given in the AM, 1/3 in the PM– 2/3 long acting, 1/3 short acting

• T2DM Insulin supplementation 0.5-1.0 U/K/D– Bedtime only (h.s.)– AM + h.s.– If elevated postprandials: change to “insulin
