Type 2 Diabetes … A Progressive Disease Over time, most patients will need insulin to control glucose
Multiple factors may drive progressive decline of -cell function -cell (genetic background) Hyperglycaemia (glucose toxicity) Protein glycation Amyloid deposition Insulin resistance “lipotoxicity” elevated FFA,TG

Initial Adult Dosage: Calculations Starting doses Based on pre-pump total daily dose (TDD) reduce TDD by 25% to 30% for pump TDD Calculated based on weight 0.24 x weight in lb (0.53 x weight in kg) Bode BW, et al.

Initial Adult Dosage: Calculations Basal rate 45% to 50% of pump TDD Divide total basal by 24 hours to decide on hourly basal Start with only 1 basal rate See how it goes before adding basals
Basal Dose Adjustment Overnight Rule of 30: Check BG Bedtime 12 AM 3 AM 6AM Adjust overnight basal if readings vary > 30 mg/dl
Adults often need an increase in basal rate in the “Dawn” hours (4 am to 9 am) Children often need an increase in basal rate earlier starting at 10 pm to 2 am Basal Dose Adjustment Overnight

Basal Dose Adjustment Daytime Rule of 30: Check BG Before usual meal time Skip meal Every 2 hrs (for 6 hrs) Adjust daytime basal if readings vary > 30 mg/dl
Bolus Dose Calculations Meal (food) Bolus Method 1 Test BG before meal Give pre-determined insulin dose for pre-determined CHO content Test BG after meal Goal < 60 mg/dl rise post meal or < 160 mg/dl
Individually determined CIR = (2.8 x wgt in lbs) / TDD Anywhere from 5 to 25 g CHO is covered by 1 unit of insulin Estimating the Carbohydrate to Insulin Ratio (CIR) Davidson et al: Diabetes Tech & Therap. April 2003
What Type of Bolus to Use? 9 DM 1 patients on CSII ate pizza, tiramisu, and coke on four consecutive Saturdays Single bolus Double bolus at -10 and 90 min Square wave bolus over 2 hours Dual wave bolus (70% at meal, 30% as 2-h square) Chase HP et al: Diabetic Medicine 2002;19:
BG Change from Baseline in mg/dl 1 bolus 2 bolus Square Dual Comparison of Pump Boluses with High Carbohydrate & High Fat Meal Hours from Baseline Chase HP et al: Diabetic Medicine 2002;19:
Correction Bolus Must determine how much glucose is lowered by 1 U of rapid-acting insulin This number is known as the correction factor (CF) Use the 1700 rule to estimate the CF CF=1700 divided by TDD example: if TDD=36 U, then CF=1700/36= 50, meaning 1 U will lower the BG 50 mg/dL
Correction Bolus Formula Example: —Current BG:220 mg/dL —Ideal BG: 100 mg/dL —Glucose CF: 50 mg/dL Current BG - Ideal BG Glucose Correction Factor = 2.4 U
If A1C is Not to Goal SMBG frequency and recording Diet practiced —Do they know what they are eating? —Do they bolus for all food and snacks? Infusion site areas —Are they in areas of lipohypertrophy? Other factors: —Fear of low BG —Overtreatment of low BG Must look at:

Most common bolusing errors Under-estimation of carbohydrates consumed (CHO bolus) Over-correction of post-prandial elevations (CF bolus) — Remaining unused, active insulin — Stacking of boluses
Bolus: Source of Errors “Inability” to count carbs correctly — Lack of knowledge, skill — Lack of time — Too much work Incorrect use of SMBG number Incorrect math in calculation “WAG” estimations
The Major Problems ♦Up until now we have not taken the active insulin issue into consideration ♦The math involved with this has become too complicated, and it would be impossible to accurately calculate the active insulin without assistance

Breakfast - Step 1. Check BG Use the Paradigm Link™, powered by BD Logic™ Technology or their currrent meter
Robin accepts the transferred blood glucose value —Requires confirmation —Can change glucose value if necessary Breakfast - Step 2. Accept BG Enters CHO grams —53 grams of carbohydrate
The Paradigm ® presents the dose —5.3 U for 53 grams carb (CIR = 10) —No correction dose —Shows total 5.3 U Accept suggested dose Pump delivers dose Breakfast - Step 3. Accept Dose
Robin has a late lunch at 2:10 PM — Blood glucose 160 — Accepts the transferred BG value Late Lunch - Step 1,2 Enters CHO grams — 50 grams of carbohydrate 50
The Paradigm ® presents the dose —5.0 U for 50 grams carb (CIR = 10) —Correction dose = 1.2 U ( ) / 50 = 60/50 = 1.2 —Shows total 6.2 U Accept suggested dose Pump delivers dose Late Lunch - Step 3. Accept Dose
Enters CHO grams —50 grams of carbohydrate 50 Robin plans to have appetizers at 5:30 PM — This is only 3.5 hours after lunch. — There is still an active insulin depot — Blood glucose is 157 — Accepts the transferred BG value Early Supper - Step 1,2
The Paradigm ® presents the dose — 5.0 U for 50 grams carb (CIR = 10) — Correction dose = 1.1 U ( )/50 — Remaining active insulin = 2.6 U — Remaining active insulin > correction dose — No correction dose is recommended — Total shows 5.0 U Early Supper - Step 3. Accept Dose Accept dose Pump delivers dose
For This System To Work ♦It is critical the target, basal doses, the correction doses, and the carbohydrate ratios are accurate ♦Understanding how to match carbohydrate amounts with insulin is critical ♦Even though the active insulin and complicated math is calculated by the system, the patient needs to understand the basic principles of how the insulin doses are calculated.
