Insulin: Dosing Regimen and Adverse Effects

Insulin: Dosing Regimen and Adverse Effects

Insulin-replacement therapy usually includes both long-acting insulin (basal) and short-acting insulin (to cater to postprandial needs). In a diverse group of type 1 diabetes patients, the average daily insulin dose is typically 0.5-0.7 units/kg body weight. However, obese patients and pubertal adolescents may need more due to insulin resistance.
The basal dose constitutes about 40%-50% of the total daily dose, with the rest as premeal insulin. The mealtime insulin dose should mirror...

Insulin Formulations: Types and Delivery

Insulin Formulations: Types and Delivery

Insulin preparations are categorized by their duration of action into short-acting and long-acting types. Two strategies are used to modify insulin's absorption and pharmacokinetic profile: slowing the absorption post-subcutaneous injection, or altering human insulin's amino acid sequence or protein structure. These changes retain the insulin's ability to bind to the insulin receptor, but alter its behavior in solution or after injection.
Short-acting insulins are divided into...

SBAR II: Application of SBAR

SBAR is an effective communication tool used by healthcare professionals to communicate patient information accurately. SBAR stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation. For a better understanding, an example is given below.

One-Compartment Open Model for IV Bolus Administration: General Considerations

One-Compartment Open Model for IV Bolus Administration: General Considerations

The one-compartment model is a pharmacokinetic tool that models the body as a single, uniform compartment, facilitating the understanding of drug distribution and elimination. This model is particularly beneficial for intravenous (IV) bolus administration, where the drug rapidly circulates throughout the body.
The drug's presence in the body is defined by an equation representing the difference between the rates of drug entry and exit. Key parameters—elimination rate constant,...

Hypoglycemia and Glucagon

Hypoglycemia and Glucagon

Without prolonged fasting, healthy individuals maintain blood glucose levels above 3.5 mM due to a well-adapted neuroendocrine counterregulatory system that effectively prevents acute hypoglycemia, a potentially life-threatening condition. The primary clinical scenarios for hypoglycemia encompass diabetes treatment, inappropriate production of endogenous insulin or insulin-like substances by tumors, and the use of glucose-lowering agents in non-diabetic individuals. Notably, hypoglycemia in the...

Two-Compartment Open Model: IV Bolus Administration

Two-Compartment Open Model: IV Bolus Administration

The two-compartment model for intravenous (IV) bolus administration illustrates drug distribution in the body, subdividing it into central and peripheral compartments. This model operates on the concept of two-compartment kinetics. The drug's plasma concentration shows a bi-exponential decline following IV bolus administration, signaling the presence of two disposition processes: distribution and elimination.
The disparity between drug input and the sum of drug transfer rates between...

Background:

Insulin bolus calculators aid Type 1 diabetes (T1D) management but lack personalization.
Case-based reasoning (CBR) offers a method to individualize insulin therapy by learning from past meal data.

Purpose of the Study:

To enhance insulin bolus calculators using CBR for personalized insulin dosing.
To investigate the selection, representation, and impact of case parameters in a CBR-based system (ABC4D).

Main Methods:

A pilot study involving 10 participants using ABC4D for 6 weeks.
Analysis of parameter usage (e.g., exercise, alcohol, glucose rate of change) and its effect on glycemic outcomes.
Participant feedback collected via a questionnaire.

Main Results:

Exercise and alcohol were the most utilized and preferred parameters by participants.
A trend towards reduced insulin dosage was observed when exercise or alcohol parameters were included.
Significant differences in glycemic outcomes were noted based on the pre-meal glucose rate of change.

Conclusions:

The study highlights the potential benefits of incorporating exercise, alcohol, and glucose rate of change parameters into insulin dosing decision support systems.
These parameters can improve the personalization and effectiveness of insulin therapy for individuals with T1D.
