fucked up that my insurance can deny my prior authorization for a medication i was ON until my medicare got taken away because my A1C was okay. Why do you THINK my A1C was good?

[bishiglomper]

Sigh.

I think I need to take out my second dose of glipizide.

I started to ache like I was getting a low. Might be in the cusp of tachycardia.

Glucose was only in the 80s but i guess it was on its way down. So i went and ate a bagel.

And sipped maybe 2 tablespoons of eggnog. Just for good measure. 👀

Sugary fluid hits immediately. Fast and hard.

Eggnog be deadly. 👀

[sillydegu]

Good news for Rose! After months of being on glipizide for her diabetes and not getting anywhere, we've moved on to trying insulin. We avoided it because of the stress involved in giving injections (Rose is not a degu who tolerates being handled well), but after deteriorating last week I figured it was worth giving insulin a shot. The injections are going better than expected, if not exactly well, and today's glucose level recheck showed substantial improvement!

[iwannabeyrhog]

Prediabetes already? Congratulations! The way you're going, diabetes is likely in your near future.

I'm not sure how much you know about the treatments your doctor will prescribe, but it's a good idea to keep in mind that not all diabetes medications have weight loss as a side effect.

Insulin itself is excellent for weight gain, although it's not usually the first treatment they suggest for type 2 diabetes. Medications like Glipizide and Pioglitazone also can lead to weight gain, as they help the insulin your body naturally makes work better. Personally, Pioglitazone (Actos) has been good for me, so if you can have input into your treatment, you cal always say that a 'friend' has done very well on Actos.

Of course, there's always the possibility that you can just not take the medications they prescribe you, so you can watch your body struggle and feel the effects of uncontrolled blood sugar. Play with your health issues as if they are a game, and you want the highest score possible.

Either way, I'm sure you'll keep ballooning up until some part of your body gives out, it's just a matter of if it will be sooner or later.

Oh wow, thank you sm 💕

I'm hoping to reach diabetes soon and I was planning on looking further into medications! I was aware some are associated with weight gain but not much about the details

I would really like to get put on something that promotes my gain so I really appreciate the info!!

(I also feel like I'll experience some negative side effects if put on medication that's associated with weight loss if you get my drift lol)

Also love the sentiment towards health issues hehe 🖤

GUESS WHO'S ON GLIPIZIDE???

[mcatmemoranda]

Diabetes Lecture

Dr. Samaan

8/23/23

HgbA1c 5.7%-6.4% is prediabetes

HgbA1c 6.5% is diabetic

Normal HgbA1c 4.8-5.6% is normal

DM: A1c 6.5%, BG 126, random BG >200 with symptoms

The A1c has to be a lab draw in order for you to use it to make the diagnosis. So a POC HgbA1c doesn’t count to make the diagnosis.

Screen everyone age 40-70 who are overweight or have risk factors; younger than 40 and obese with risk factor; screen q1-3 years. Risk factors: HDL<35, TG >250, depression, on atypical antipsychotics, high risk populations (non-white), OSA/sleep issues, HIV+ for 15+ years on meds. Old HIV meds caused endocrine issues. Newer HIV meds don’t unless they’ve been on them for a long time.

You don’t need to be fasting to check HgbA1c. Not covered as screening by CMS. A1c not accurate in GDM, renal failure, anemias, renal failure, liver disease.

Prediabetes: 5-7% weight loss will cut the risk of progressing to diabetes by 1/2! Moderate exercise: of 150 minutes a week (e.g., brisk walking 3+ mph), water aerobics, bicycling 10 mph or less, tennis (doubles), gardening—OR 75 minutes of vigorous intensity exercise a week.

Metformin started in prediabetics decreases progression by 31%! Shown to decrease CVD risk. Works best for BMI>35. Metformin can cause low B12. We should use “med monitoring” code annually in pts on metformin. Diarrhea is a common adverse effect. If pt can’t leave the house because of the diarrhea, try the extended release form.

GLP1 agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors could be used in prediabetics. It’s in the works.

If A1c of 9 and BG >200, you will have less fatigue, polyuria, blurred visions, skin infections.

A1c <7.5 à improved quality of life and increased productivity at work

Goal A1c is <7%

Tighter control in younger pts is ok.

Older pts can have A1c goal of 8.0%; avoid hypoglycemia and side effects of increased meds.

Metformin and lifestyle modifications are first line management.

You can start with something other than metformin, but insurance might not cover it.

DM education can help drop A1c by 0.6% or more. WDH and PRH have diabetes education classes.

Diabetic Benchmarks/Screenings:

Statins! All diabetics over 40 should be on moderate to high intensity statin. Under 40 if additional CVD risk factors.

Pts with DM have increased number of small LDL particles which tend to be more associated with ASCVD.

DM is the leading cause of CKD. Check urine microalbumin yearly. ACE/ARB is HTN and proteinuria, urine Cr >300. Go yearly for dilated eye exam. DM is the #1 cause of blindness in the US.

Nerve damage causes the fat pad on the sole of the foot to move, leaving decreased cushioning which predisposes to diabetic foot ulcers. Foot exam should be every visit if loss of sensation. Should do a foot exam annually. Check the skin, document hammer toe, charcot foot, bunion, pes planus.

Get an Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) if you cannot palpate a pulse. Get Toe Brachial Index (TBI) if ABI is not accurate.

Document presence of diabetic neuropathy. Assess for B12 deficiency, TSH, metals, etc.

Metformin, statin, annual vision screen and urine microalbumin, foot exams, diabetes education.

Sulfonylureas (e.g., glipizide) have no long-term benefits, cause hypoglycemia.

[hollyevolving]

So I’ve been taking glipizide for about 5 months now, and it’s made a swift and dramatic improvement to my fasting blood glucose and my A1C.

It hasn’t been an instant fix, I still need both numbers to come down a lot. My doctor and I decided together that the way to go is to gradually step it up, until those numbers are healthy, because it takes me a few weeks to adjust to each increase, and during those weeks there are intestinal side effects.

This could take a year or more.

In the meantime, I have gained weight, which almost everyone on glipizide does. Glipizide works by increasing the amount of insulin your pancreas produces (your pancreas has to be ABLE to produce insulin, or it won’t work for you at all). And when your insulin increases, including if you just cut out the middleman and inject insulin, your weight will almost certainly go up, because your cells will be able to use more of the glucose in your body, including converting it to fat for storage.

This is a normal thing that your body is supposed to do.

It sucks for me because between the EDS and the skeletal deformities, I have a really hard time exercising.

But eventually, those numbers will normalize and I will have more energy, and I’ll make some new assessments and decisions from there.

Symptoms Of Ozempic By Doctors In Fresno

If you are suffering from a pre-diabetic condition which can be treated by regular treatment and check. The Fresno Ozempic prescription given by an Orthopedic doctor in Fresno or any other specialist can help you a lot in treating this curable condition.

What is Ozempic?

Ozempic is employed for type 2 diabetes mellitus to enhance glycemic control and reduce stroke, heart attack, or death in adults with both type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. As for Ozempic used for weight loss in clinical trials it has been established to be effective as a tool for weight loss and weight loss maintenance. Ozempic is administered as a weekly subcutaneous injection with the help of an autoinjector (pen) in the abdominal area, thigh or upper arm.

What Does Ozempic Do?

Ozempic reduces blood sugar levels in several mechanisms in people with type 2 diabetes. This drug also reduces the chances of heart problems in those with both diabetes and heart disease. The Ozempic Treatment Fresno does this in the following ways:

Ozempic works by stimulating the same receptors that a hormone, known as GLP-1, enacted naturally. Ozempic works to stimulate the pancreas by putting into action certain receptors in your brain that respond to GLP-1.

Also like the GLP-1 hormone, Ozempic also reduces the rate at which food is passed from your stomach to your small intestine. This makes you feel full for longer intervals of time This makes you remain full for long durations of time. As a result, the large spike in blood sugar levels is avoided and results in reduced hunger pangs.

It intensifies a hormone known as insulin in your body to help regulate your blood sugar levels from rising after taking a meal. Insulin is an agent that decreases the level of glucose in your blood.

Insulin allows you to avoid an increase in the amount of sugar that circulates in the bloodstream.

Doctors and pharmacists can explain how Ozempic affects the body when they are asked.

Symptoms Of Ozempic By Doctors In Fresno

Some of the more severe side effects of Ozempic include the following and the steps you need to take if they arise.

Pengobatan Diabetes Melitus Tipe 2: Panduan Lengkap dan Solusi Terbaik

Diabetes melitus tipe 2 adalah kondisi medis yang memengaruhi kemampuan tubuh untuk mengatur kadar gula darah secara efektif. Ini adalah jenis diabetes yang paling umum, tetapi dengan pendekatan pengobatan yang tepat, Anda dapat mengelola dan bahkan mengurangi dampaknya. Artikel ini akan membahas berbagai metode pengobatan diabetes melitus tipe 2, termasuk pengobatan untuk diabetes mellitus secara umum dan pengobatan khusus untuk berbagai situasi seperti diabetes gestasional dan diabetes pada pria.

1. Pemahaman Dasar tentang Pengobatan Diabetes Melitus Tipe 2

Diabetes melitus tipe 2 adalah gangguan metabolisme yang ditandai dengan resistensi insulin dan produksi insulin yang tidak memadai. Pengobatan diabetes melitus tipe 2 bertujuan untuk mengontrol kadar gula darah, mencegah komplikasi, dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup. Pendekatan pengobatan ini melibatkan perubahan gaya hidup, penggunaan obat, dan terkadang intervensi medis lebih lanjut.

2. Perubahan Gaya Hidup: Fondasi Pengobatan

Diet Sehat

Pola makan yang sehat adalah kunci utama dalam pengelolaan diabetes melitus tipe 2. Fokus pada makanan yang rendah gula, tinggi serat, dan lemak sehat. Pilihlah karbohidrat kompleks seperti biji-bijian, sayuran, dan buah-buahan segar. Hindari makanan olahan, gula tambahan, dan makanan tinggi lemak jenuh.

Olahraga Teratur

Aktivitas fisik membantu meningkatkan sensitivitas insulin dan mengatur kadar gula darah. Rekomendasi umum adalah melakukan setidaknya 150 menit aktivitas fisik moderat setiap minggu. Pilihlah olahraga yang Anda nikmati, seperti berjalan, berenang, atau bersepeda.

Manajemen Stres

Stres dapat mempengaruhi kadar gula darah Anda. Temukan teknik manajemen stres yang cocok untuk Anda, seperti meditasi, yoga, atau teknik relaksasi lainnya. Mengelola stres dengan baik dapat membantu Anda dalam pengelolaan diabetes.

3. Pengobatan Obat untuk Diabetes Melitus Tipe 2

Jika perubahan gaya hidup tidak cukup untuk mengontrol kadar gula darah, dokter mungkin merekomendasikan obat-obatan. Berikut adalah beberapa jenis obat yang umum digunakan:

Metformin

Metformin adalah obat pertama yang sering diresepkan untuk diabetes tipe 2. Obat ini bekerja dengan meningkatkan sensitivitas sel terhadap insulin dan mengurangi produksi gula oleh hati.

Sulfonilurea

Obat ini merangsang pankreas untuk memproduksi lebih banyak insulin. Contoh sulfonilurea termasuk glipizide dan gliburide.

Inhibitor DPP-4

Obat ini membantu meningkatkan kadar hormon yang merangsang produksi insulin dan mengurangi rasa lapar. Contoh obat ini termasuk sitagliptin dan saxagliptin.

Agonis GLP-1

Obat ini meningkatkan produksi insulin, mengurangi nafsu makan, dan memperlambat pengosongan lambung. Contoh agonis GLP-1 termasuk liraglutide dan exenatide.

4. Pengobatan Insulin: Pilihan untuk Kasus yang Lebih Parah

Pada beberapa kasus diabetes tipe 2 yang lebih parah atau tidak dapat dikendalikan dengan obat oral, terapi insulin mungkin diperlukan. Insulin dapat membantu mengatur kadar gula darah dengan lebih efektif. Dokter akan menentukan jenis insulin dan dosis yang tepat untuk kebutuhan Anda.

Pengobatan untuk Diabetes Mellitus dalam Konteks Lain

1. Pengobatan Diabetes Melitus Tipe 1

Pengobatan diabetes melitus tipe 1 melibatkan terapi insulin seumur hidup, karena tubuh tidak memproduksi insulin sama sekali. Selain terapi insulin, pemantauan kadar gula darah secara rutin dan perubahan gaya hidup sehat juga penting untuk mengelola kondisi ini.

2. Pengobatan Diabetes pada Pria

Pengobatan diabetes pada pria tidak berbeda secara signifikan dari pengobatan diabetes pada wanita. Namun, pria dengan diabetes mungkin menghadapi risiko tambahan terkait kesehatan seksual dan reproduksi. Mengelola diabetes dengan baik dapat membantu mencegah masalah kesehatan terkait.

3. Pengobatan pada Diabetes Gestasional

Diabetes gestasional adalah diabetes yang berkembang selama kehamilan. Pengobatan diabetes gestasional biasanya melibatkan perubahan pola makan, pemantauan kadar gula darah secara rutin, dan mungkin penggunaan insulin jika diperlukan. Setelah melahirkan, banyak wanita dengan diabetes gestasional dapat kembali ke kondisi normal, tetapi mereka harus terus memantau kesehatan mereka.

4. Pengobatan Diabetes Paling Ampuh

Tidak ada pengobatan tunggal yang cocok untuk semua orang. Pengobatan yang paling ampuh adalah pendekatan yang terintegrasi, menggabungkan perubahan gaya hidup sehat, terapi obat yang sesuai, dan pemantauan rutin. Pendekatan ini akan bervariasi berdasarkan individu, kondisi kesehatan, dan respons terhadap pengobatan.

FAQ (Pertanyaan yang Sering Diajukan)

Bisakah diabetes disembuhkan?

Saat ini, diabetes melitus tipe 2 tidak dapat disembuhkan sepenuhnya. Namun, dengan pengelolaan yang baik melalui perubahan gaya hidup dan obat-obatan, banyak orang dapat mencapai kontrol gula darah yang optimal dan mengurangi risiko komplikasi.

Apa saja makanan yang sebaiknya dihindari penderita diabetes?

Penderita diabetes sebaiknya menghindari makanan yang tinggi gula dan karbohidrat sederhana, seperti roti putih, nasi putih, dan makanan manis. Selain itu, batasi konsumsi makanan tinggi lemak jenuh dan trans, seperti makanan cepat saji dan camilan olahan.

Apakah ada vaksin untuk mencegah diabetes?

Saat ini, tidak ada vaksin yang tersedia untuk mencegah diabetes melitus tipe 2. Namun, langkah-langkah pencegahan seperti menjaga berat badan sehat, berolahraga secara teratur, dan mengikuti diet sehat dapat mengurangi risiko diabetes.

Bagaimana cara mengatasi rasa lapar terus-menerus pada penderita diabetes?

Rasa lapar terus-menerus dapat diatasi dengan makan makanan tinggi serat dan protein yang membantu kenyang lebih lama. Pilihlah camilan sehat seperti kacang-kacangan, yogurt rendah lemak, atau buah-buahan segar. Konsultasikan dengan ahli gizi atau dokter untuk rekomendasi yang lebih spesifik.

Apa saja gejala diabetes tipe 1 pada anak-anak?

Gejala diabetes tipe 1 pada anak-anak dapat mencakup peningkatan rasa haus, frekuensi buang air kecil yang meningkat, penurunan berat badan yang cepat, kelelahan, dan perubahan perilaku. Jika Anda mencurigai anak Anda mengalami gejala ini, segera konsultasikan dengan dokter untuk evaluasi lebih lanjut.

Kesimpulan

Pengobatan diabetes melitus tipe 2 melibatkan pendekatan yang holistik dan disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan individu. Dengan menggabungkan perubahan gaya hidup, terapi obat yang tepat, dan pemantauan yang teratur, Anda dapat mengelola kondisi ini dengan efektif. Jika Anda memiliki pertanyaan lebih lanjut atau memerlukan bantuan dalam pengelolaan diabetes, jangan ragu untuk berkonsultasi dengan profesional kesehatan.

How can it function? Berberine Capsules

Berberine capsules has been tried in many examinations.

One of the principal activities of Berberine capsules is to actuate a compound inside cells called AMP-enacted protein kinase (AMPK), as per a few creature studies (3Trusted Source, 4Trusted Source).

AMPK assumes a key part in directing digestion and energy levels and is tracked down in cells all through your body (5Trusted Source, 6Trusted Source).

It brings down glucose levels Many examinations show that Berberine capsules can essentially bring down glucose levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes (8Trusted Source).

It appears to work by means of numerous systems and may help (9Trusted Source, 10Trusted Source):

decline insulin opposition, making the glucose bringing down chemical insulin more successful increment glycolysis, assisting your body with separating sugars inside cells decline sugar creation in your liver slow the breakdown of starches in your stomach increment the quantity of gainful microbes in your stomach In a 2008 investigation of 116 individuals with diabetes, requiring 1 gram of Berberine capsules every day brought down fasting glucose by 20% (11Trusted Source).

It likewise brought down hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), a marker of long haul glucose guideline, by 12% and further developed degrees of blood lipids like cholesterol and fatty substances (11Trusted Source).

As per a more established audit of 14 investigations, Berberine capsules might be pretty much as compelling as specific oral diabetes drugs, including metformin, glipizide, and rosiglitazone (12Trusted Source).

It functions admirably in mix with way of life changes and has added substance impacts when utilized with other glucose bringing down drugs (13Trusted Source).

Berberine capsules may assist you with getting thinner Berberine capsules may likewise be compelling as a weight reduction supplement.

(All things considered. The members likewise lost 3.6% of their muscle to fat ratio (14).

Furthermore, a survey of 12 examinations found that enhancing with Berberine capsules prompted critical decreases in body weight, weight record, and midsection fat. It likewise diminished degrees of C-responsive protein, a marker of irritation (15Trusted Source).

Berberine capsules additionally seems to repress the development of fat cells at the sub-atomic level, which could assist with advancing weight reduction (16Trusted Source).

In any case, more examination is required on the potential weight reduction impacts of Berberine capsules.

What Role Does Medication Play in Controlling Diabetes?

Medication plays a crucial role in controlling diabetes, especially for individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who may require pharmaceutical intervention to manage their blood sugar levels effectively. While lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise are foundational for diabetes management, medications are often necessary to achieve and maintain optimal blood glucose control. Let's delve deeper into the role that medication plays in diabetes management and explore some of the commonly prescribed drugs and their functions.

Importance of Medication in Diabetes Control

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood glucose levels resulting from either insufficient insulin production (type 1 diabetes) or the body's ineffective use of insulin (type 2 diabetes). Medications are prescribed to address these underlying issues and help regulate blood sugar levels, thereby reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications.

Types of Diabetes Medications

1. Insulin: The primary medication for type 1 diabetes and sometimes necessary for type 2 diabetes management. Different types of insulin (rapid-acting, short-acting, intermediate-acting, long-acting) are used depending on individual needs.

2. Metformin: Often the first-line medication for type 2 diabetes. It lowers blood sugar levels by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues.

3. Sulfonylureas: Stimulate insulin secretion from the pancreas, helping to lower blood sugar levels. Examples include glipizide and glyburide.

4. DPP-4 Inhibitors: Enhance insulin secretion and reduce glucagon production, leading to lower blood sugar levels. Common DPP-4 inhibitors include sitagliptin and saxagliptin.

5. GLP-1 Receptor Agonists: Stimulate insulin secretion and slow down gastric emptying, which helps control blood sugar levels and may promote weight loss. Examples include exenatide and liraglutide.

6. SGLT-2 Inhibitors: Lower blood sugar levels by promoting the excretion of glucose in the urine. Canagliflozin and empagliflozin are examples of SGLT-2 inhibitors.

Individualized Treatment Approaches

The choice of diabetes medication depends on various factors, including the type of diabetes, overall health, presence of other medical conditions, and individual preferences. Healthcare providers tailor treatment plans to meet each patient's specific needs, adjusting medications as necessary to achieve optimal glycemic control while minimizing side effects.

Importance of Adherence and Monitoring

Adhering to prescribed medication regimens is critical for effective diabetes management. Patients should take medications as directed by their healthcare provider and communicate any concerns or difficulties they experience. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is essential to assess treatment efficacy and make necessary adjustments to medication dosages or regimens.

Conclusion

Medication plays a pivotal role in controlling diabetes by helping regulate blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications. Combined with healthy lifestyle choices, diabetes medications contribute significantly to managing this chronic condition and improving overall quality of life for individuals with diabetes. If you have diabetes or are at risk, consult with your healthcare provider to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that includes both lifestyle modifications and appropriate medication therapy.
