Slide 1-

Hypoglycemia Prevention & Treatment Gary Scheiner MS, CDE Owner, Integrated Diabetes Services 333 E. Lancaster Ave., Suite 204 Wynnewood, PA 19096 877-SELF-MGT (735-3648) (610) 642-6055 www.integrateddiabetes.com Gary@integrateddiabetes.com
Slide 2-

Hypoglycemia:Definitions “Mild”: Adrenergic (BG<70) (<4mmol) “Moderate”: Cognitive (BG<50) (<3mmol) “Severe”: Unconscious (BG ???)
Slide 3-

Hypoglycemia:Cause Imbalance between factors raising and lowering blood glucose levels
Slide 4-

Hypoglycemia “The Greatest Limiting Factor In Diabetes Management”
Slide 5-

The Great Limiting Factor Performance Impairment
Slide 6-

The Great Limiting Factor Accident Risk
Slide 7-

The Great Limiting Factor Anxiety / Embarrassment
Slide 8-

The Great Limiting Factor Lasting Damage?  Spatial memory / performance (if before age 5)
Slide 9-

The Great Limiting Factor Diminished Symptoms (Hypoglycemic Unawareness)
Slide 10-

The Great Limiting Factor Rebound
Slide 11-

The Great Limiting Factor Weight Gain
Slide 12-

Hypoglycemia:Targets/Goals Unable to recognize & verbalize lows: >80 (4.5 mmol) Able to recognize & verbalize lows: >70 (4 mmol) Pregnancy: >60 (3.3 mmol) <10% of readings below target at each time of day No severe lows
Slide 13-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 1. Insulin Program Setup (background/basal)

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 1. Insulin Program Setup (background/basal)
Slide 15-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 1. Insulin Program Setup (background/basal)
Slide 16-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 1. Insulin Program Setup (background/basal)
Slide 17-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 1. Insulin Program Setup (background/basal) Basal insulin should hold BG STEADY in the absence of food, exercise and bolus insulin!
Slide 18-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 1b. Insulin Program Setup (Meal/Bolus) Only rapid analogs work when needed – right after eating!
Slide 19-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 2. Meal/Snack Timing Major issue w/a.m. NPH/Lente Minor issue w/Lantus or Levemir Not usually an issue with pump use
Slide 20-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 1500-Rule (aggressive) (83 rule) 1800-Rule (conservative) (100 rule) (Total Daily Ins.)/1500 or 1800 May vary day vs. night (nighttime often 50% more than day) 3a. Proper Correction Doses
Slide 21-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies Premeal: 100 (5.5) (aggressive) 120 (6.7) (typical) 140-150 (7.6-8.3) (cautious) 3b. Appropriate BG Targets Postmeal (1-2 hrs): <160 (9) (aggressive) <180 (10) (typical) < 200 (11) (cautious)
Slide 22-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies I:C Ratio that matches pre-meal BG 3-4 hours (not 2!) after eating I:C Ratio often varies from meal to meal (bkfst dose > lunch & dinner) 4. Proper Meal/Bolus Doses
Slide 23-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 5. Account For “Unused” Insulin* * Newer pumps figure this automatically based on the insulin duration you set.
Slide 24-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 5. Account For “Unused” Insulin Example: Gave 6.0 units at 7pm, BG 200 at 9pm. Conservative approach: 40% remaining (6 x .4) = 2.4 units left Aggressive approach: 33% remaining (6 x .33) = 2 units left Subtract the unused insulin from your usual correction dose!
Slide 25-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 6. Carb Counting Accuracy Proper Portion Measurement Look Up Unknown / Restaurant Foods Use Carb Factors Subtract 100% of Fiber Subtract 50% of Sugar Alcohols
Slide 26-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 7. Extend Meal Insulin When Necessary Use When: Portions are very large Meal is prolonged Food is low-glycemic index (pasta, legumes, dairy…) Apply Via: Square/Dual/Extended/Combo bolus on pump Delayed or Split bolus on injections
Slide 27-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 8. Adjustment for Physical Activity Exercise, recreation, chores: all count! Reduce meal insulin (25%, 33%, 50%) for after-meal activity Snack prior to before/between meal activity Lower long-acting/basal insulin during and after prolonged activity
Slide 28-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 8. Watch Out for D’OH! (Delayed Onset Hypoglycemia) Following High-Intensity Exercise Following Extended Duration Activity May Occur Up to 24 Hours After Adjustments to food/insulin after activity: lower basal insulin for 8-12 hours low-G.I. Snacks lower mealtime boluses
Slide 29-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 9. Adjustment for Alcohol Alcohol reduces the liver’s output of glucose and masks hypoglycemic symptoms Delayed BG drops can occur Decrease basal insulin (or overnight long-acting insulin) after drinking
Slide 30-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 10. Consistent Monitoring Before All Meals & Snacks Pre/Post Exercise Bedtime 3 a.m. (occasionally)
Slide 31-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 11. Recording & Analysis Record all pertinent data BGs Carb Activity Insulin Use an organized form (multiple days on single page, if possible)

Slide 33-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 11. Recording & Analysis Review every 7-10 days Look for patterns > 10% below target range @ given time Lows during/post-activity Lows on School/Work vs. off-day Lows Post-Menstrual
Slide 34-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 12. Continuous Glucose Monitoring Alarms to alert user/family of pending lows
Slide 35-

Hypoglycemia Prevention Strategies 12. Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Slide 36-

Hypoglycemia Treatment Mild/Moderate Low Check BG First Treat w/High-Glycemic Index Food Treat w/Proper Amount Re-Check in 15 Minutes High-GI Foods Glucose Tablets Dry Cereal Pretzels Graham Crackers Vanilla Wafers Jelly Beans Gatorade
Slide 37-

Hypoglycemia Treatment Use of Glycemic Index Lower GI foods digest & convert to glucose more slowly High-fiber slower than low Hi-fat slower than low Solids slower than liquids Cold foods slower than hot Type of sugar/starch affects GI
Slide 38-

Use of Glycemic Index (contd) Hypoglycemia Treatment
Slide 39-

Hypoglycemia Treatment Always Carry Rapid-Acting Carbs!
Slide 40-

Hypoglycemia Treatment DEXTROSE Rules! Glucose Tablets Sweet Tarts Smarties Spree Air Heads
Slide 41-

Hypoglycemia Treatment Once BG has risen, give rapid-acting insulin to cover any overtreatment!
Slide 42-

Hypoglycemia Treatment Treatment amt. for insulin on board Treatment amt. for recent exercise Treatment amt. for previous low-G.I. foods “Idiosyncracies”
Slide 43-

Hypoglycemia Treatment Severe Low Unconscious / Unresponsive Seizure Uncooperative
