Early Aggressive Insulin Therapy In Type 2 Diabetes, Bryan Johnson
Early Aggressive Insulin Therapy In Type 2 Diabetes, Bryan Johnson
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
Metformin has been proven beneficial for the first-line treatment of type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) due to its efficacy and low adverse effect profile. Current US guidelines do not address the use of early intensive insulin use in T2DM. Treatment plans are slowly adjusted over the months until the A1C goal is met. Insulin is initiated several years after the time of T2DM diagnosis and utilized as second-line therapy. Dual therapy of insulin and metformin have shown regression of T2DM in certain patient populations. However, the linear relationship between diabetes and cardiovascular disease does not show greater improvement with dual …

Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent disease in our country. Bullard et al. (2018) report approximately 21 million adults have T2DM in the United States. “The total estimated cost of diagnosed diabetes in 2017 is $327 billion, including $237 billion in direct medical costs and $90 billion in reduced productivity” (Yang et al., 2018). Treatment of T2DM is individualized to each patient based on their co-morbidities, fiscal responsibility, and route of administration options. Sulfonylureas and Glucagon-like Peptide-1s (GLP-1) are two classes of antidiabetic drugs that are available for use as second line treatment options after metformin. This review …

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a known potential complication that can occur during pregnancy. Unmanaged GDM can result in maternal hyperglycemia, which can cause increased neonatal complications, two of which are macrosomia and neonatal hypoglycemia. To prevent maternal hyperglycemia, treatment of GDM typically begins with dietary changes, home glucose monitoring, increased exercise patterns and other lifestyle modifications. However, if maternal hyperglycemia persists after two weeks of maternal lifestyle modifications, there are not current best practice guidelines established for the treatment of GDM. Historically, subcutaneous multiple daily dosed insulin (MDI) has been the gold standard for treatment after lifestyle modification. However, …

Delaying Diabetes In The Native American Population, Seth Tramm
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
Diabetes is a debilitating disease process caused by the body’s inability to control blood glucose levels. With over 30 million diabetics in the United States and another 85 million prediabetics, the effects of this disease are wide-spread and far-reaching. Native American/Alaska Native populations have a nearly two-fold increase in prevalence of diabetes when compared to non-native populations. Risk factors for diabetes in all populations include modifiable risks such as obesity, diet, and physical inactivity as well as non-modifiable factors such as age, family history, and ethnicity. Studies have shown that early identification of symptoms, coupled with proper and intentional treatment …
Glycemic Control And Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Current Standard Treatment Vs. Closed-Loop Insulin Pumps, Kelsey Daley
Glycemic Control And Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Current Standard Treatment Vs. Closed-Loop Insulin Pumps, Kelsey Daley
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
As of 2015, 9.4% of the US population had a diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Although most of the data sets studied encompass type 1 (T1) and type 2 (T2) DM data in all ages of patients, the focus of this project will be primarily on T1DM.
There are effective methods currently available for the management of T1DM patients. These methods include: closed-loop insulin pumps that integrate a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and insulin pump into one effective system that calculates the needed insulin doses through complicated algorithms, CGM with self-blood glucose monitoring calibrations (SBGM) and insulin administration, and SBGM …

Metformin And Vitamin B12 Deficiency: Consequences And Patient Monitoring, Kathryn Dietz
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
• The incidence of type 2 diabetes has been increasing at a rapid rate in the United States.
• Metformin is recommended as the first line treatment to be started at the time of diagnosis in all patients without contraindications and has been associated with vitamin B12 deficiency.
• There are currently no clinical guidelines for the routine monitoring of B12 levels in this population.
• The purpose of this scholarly project is to determine if there are consequences of this deficiency and to make recommendations for screening patients.
• It includes current research that focuses on the pathophysiology of …
Type 2 Diabetes In Native Americans: The Influence Of Historical And Cultural Factors On Incidence, Prevalence, And Strategies For Patient Education, Disease Prevention, And Management, Tim Olsen
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
Type 2 diabetes (DM2) was virtually nonexistent among Native American, Alaska Native, and Canadian First Nations people prior to the 1950s. Due to historical, cultural, environmental, and psychosocial factors, Native people suffer disproportionately higher rates of DM2 than other populations. This literature review aims to examine the influence of these factors and investigate whether insight and knowledge into them, as well as culturally sensitive approaches to disease education, prevention, and self-management can be beneficial to providers working among Native communities. The results suggested that culturally sensitive approaches are indeed of value in promoting more effective care, and that lack of …

• Diabetes mellitus is growing substantially in our nation. Between its natural progression and effects on other body systems, this epidemic is costing us billions of dollars a year.
• Although gestational diabetes typically resolves after pregnancy, women who have had gestational diabetes in the past have a largely increased risk for the development of diabetes mellitus in the future.
• Several things contribute to the development of GDM and DM: decline in β-cell function, lower adiponectin levels and HgbA1C levels in the third trimester.
• Intervening during the critical time after delivery in women with gestational diabetes, will theoretically …

Impact Of Increasing Glp-1 On Markers Of Inflammation, Glucose Control And Cardiovascular Risk Factors In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes, Kristina Sandstedt
Physician Assistant Scholarly Project Posters
There is a strong established relationship between diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Much of the latest research studies have identified a link between the inflammatory processes and the pathogenesis of both cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Specific inflammatory markers include: Interleukins 1,6,18; C-reactive protein, Fibrinogen, Tumor Necrosis Factor-α, PAI-I and cell adhesion molecules. As a result, there has been an emphasis on identifying therapeutic approaches that would improve both markers of inflammation and glucose control. The endocrine hormones known as incretins, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropicpolypeptide (GIP), are produced in the gastrointestinal tract following ingestion of a meal. In individuals with …
