Show notes at pharmacyjoe.com/episode1068. In this episode, I'll discuss using one vs two bag protocols for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis. The post 1068: Which Is Better to Treat Diabetic Ketoacidosis - A One or Two Bag Method? appeared first on Pharmacy Joe.

At the beginning of the program, Dr. Sunil Gupta explained that the complications of diabetes are of two types: acute complications, such as hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and diabetic ketoacidosis especially in Type 1DM, both of which can cause sudden and immediate danger. Chronic complications develop slowly over time and affect the eyes, kidneys, heart, brain, and nerves. Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar falls below 70 mg/dl, and the main causes could be drug-induced, like insulin or sulfonylurea group of drugs, skipping of the meal, excessive exercise, vomiting or diarrhea, and due to use of drugs like painkillers (analgesics) or a few antibiotics along with glucose-lowering drugs. However, the risk of hypoglycemia has become lower with the use of newer medications compared to older ones. In response to audience questions, it was emphasized that the decision to stop or reduce medication should always be made under the supervision of a doctor. People with prediabetes (HbA1c 5.7–6.4%) can often avoid developing diabetes altogether through timely lifestyle changes. If diabetes runs in the family, the risk of children developing it at an early age is significantly higher. The importance of an annual health check-up covering the eyes, heart, kidneys, and feet was stressed, described as the “greatest gift” a person with diabetes can give themselves is of “Good Health.” When anemia coexists with diabetes, fatigue and complications tend to worsen, making it essential to identify the underlying cause and provide treatment. In cases of leg pain or neuropathy, vitamin deficiencies, blood vessel health, and side effects of a few medicines like statin should all be carefully evaluated.

In this episode: Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) is a severe and potentially life-threatening complication of diabetes, yet it is more common than people think, especially upon diagnosis of diabetes. In this episode of the Taking Control of Your Diabetes podcast, hosts Dr. Jeremy Pettus and Dr. Steve Edelman, both endocrinologists living with type 1 diabetes, provide an in-depth exploration of DKA. They discuss the science behind ketones, why the body produces them, and how they can become dangerous in people living with diabetes. The doctors share personal experiences with DKA and offer valuable insights on recognizing early symptoms, the importance of regular ketone testing, and effective at-home treatment strategies. They also delve into the latest advancements in ketone monitoring technology and discuss certain diabetes medications that may increase DKA risk.Key Topics: What are ketones and what purpose do they serve in the body?Ketogenic diet vs diabetes: what's the difference?DKA risk mitigation and the best ways to go about itDo high glucose levels equate to having DKA?How common is DKA among diabetics and who is at risk?What are early signs and symptoms of DKA?When should you check your ketones?How to measure the important ketone that identifies someone in DKA?What are the different types of ketone meters out there?What are the different levels of ketones and what do they mean?What are some ways you can treat yourself at home?What are the cornerstones of DKA prevention and relief? ★ Support this podcast ★

This past winter, Dr. Rich Griffey, healthcare quality leader from Washington University School of Medicine and Emergency Medicine, came to present grand rounds on a new way to care for patients with mild to moderate DKA, which they call the SQuID protocol. This talk serves to inspire us to look even at some of our well established conditions and see what we could do differently, as well as appreciate the value that healthcare quality improvement integrated with research methods and implementation science thinking can do when they all come together for the improvement of patient care. Come be inspired with us!

DKA patients vary from patients with mild ketosis and dehydration all the way to collapsed, severely unwell patients in shock, with marked acidosis and needing intensive nursing care. However these patients present, one thing remains true - there is a LOT of nursing care we can provide.  But to do that, we need to understand how DKA works and what care our patients need - and that's exactly what we're diving into in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast! ---

In this heartwarming episode of We Are T1D, Mike and Jack sit down with Maria, a familiar voice from the community who always engages with the podcast's wins and struggles. Maria, a healthcare assistant and a Type 1 diabetic, shares her story of diagnosis, which includes a surprising revelation of fruity breath leading to a DKA diagnosis, and the steep learning curve of managing insulin injections. As they delve into the intricacies of shift work with T1D, Maria reflects on the challenges and strategies she employs to keep her blood sugars in check amidst the unpredictable routine. The conversation takes a humorous turn with tales of injection mishaps, including the perils of biting off needle caps and more! Listeners are invited to join the banter as the trio discusses the pros and cons of different CGM sensors, the struggle to keep them adhered during sweaty gym sessions, and the surprising shortage of alcohol swabs that once accompanied the sensors. Maria also shares her approach to carb counting (or the lack thereof), the importance of considering future activities when dosing insulin, and the therapeutic effect of a well-timed hypo snack. The episode culminates with Maria's sage advice for those newly diagnosed with T1D, emphasizing the strength of the online community and the wealth of resources available.

Children and adults with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) are at high risk of the acute and chronic complications. The acute complications are Hypoglycemia (low sugar attack) and Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening problem that usually affects people with T1DM. It occurs when the body starts breaking down fat at a rate that is much too fast. The liver processes the fat into a fuel as ketones, which causes the blood to become acidic. Diabetic Ketoacidosis begins with mild ketosis in a person with T1DM due to their high blood glucose, dehydration, infection or same precipitating cause. It should be checked in urine ( by keto-Diastix ) if fasting glucose is more than 250mg/dl or Postmeal / Random Glucose is> 350 mg/dl or during any episode of vomiting, fever abdominal pain, drowsiness or any sick day symptoms. (Recorded on July 14 2023 at Akashvani Nagpur) Hypoglycemia means when the blood glucose falls to below 70mg/dl, which requires to be corrected by oral glucose or Sweets or any available food. Mild and moderated hypoglycemia can be managed at home, but severe hypoglycemia presents with unconsciousness, abnormal behaviour, seizures or rarely paralysis which needs hospitalization. To prevent hypoglycemia, much effort must be invested in education regarding risk factors, warning signs, and treatment of hypoglycemia at an early stage. Also Diabetic Identity Card (DIC) plays an important role. Every diabetic should have DIC which will help them in emergency conditions to get the immediate treatment.

Complication are major cause of morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes. Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus are at high risk of a acute and chronic complications. The acute complications are Hypoglycemia (low sugar) and Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Hypoglycemia means when the blood glucose falls to below 70mg/dl, which requires to be corrected by oral glucose or Sweets or any available food. Mild and moderated hypoglycaemia can be managed at home, but severe hypoglycemia presents with unconsciousness, abnormal behavior, seizures or rarely paralysis, such cases need Hospitalization. Diabetic Ketoacidosis begins with mild ketosis due to high blood glucose, dehydration, infection etc. It should be checked in urine ( by keto-Diastix ) if fasting glucose is more than 250mg/dl or Postmeal / Random Glucose is > 350 mg/dl or during episode of vomiting, fever abdominal pain or any sick Day. Early correction of Blood glucose by insulin correction of dehydration and antibiotic for infection may prevent hospitalization, which is otherwise mandatory during severe DKA. Chronic complication may appears after many years of duration and can be related to Eyes (Diabetic Retinopathy), Kidney (Diabetic Nephropathy), Nerves (Diabetes Neuropathy), Sexual Dysfunction, Heart (CVD), Brain (Stroke) etc. All these complication are preventable by control of glucose, lipids, blood pressure & healthy lifestyle. Therefore health care providers should counsel and educate people with type 1 diabetes to help them live stress free life with diabetes. Recorded on 23rd June 2023 with Radhika Patrikar, at Akashwani Nagpur.

Ian Lake  Dr. Ian Lake is a GP in the UK. Having Type 1 Diabetes himself, he adopted a ketogenic lifestyle 7 years ago, which he feels positively transformed his daily diabetes control to near non-diabetes levels. He runs a website dedicated to providing information about ketogenic lifestyles in Type 1 diabetes and this month is launching a comprehensive course for healthcare professionals. He self-experiments on ketogenic diets in type 1 diabetes and in 2019 he completed a 5-week solo and unsupported run covering over 700 miles on just 9% carbohydrate. In 2020 he took it to a whole new level by organising the zerofive100 project, a 100-mile team run over five days fully fasted with zero calories. Ian's Top Tips These top tips are aimed at Type 1 Diabetics If you have injected insulin and your blood sugar isn't coming down - do some physical activity. There are certain times of day when glucose control is harder (not food related) try skipping a meal. If you are keen to try the ketogenic diet for managing Type 1, read about it on Ian's website and ask your clinician to support you.

On today's episode we got the pleasure of speaking with Ashlei whose son, Colton was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 11.  Colton is 17 now.  Something special that they do is go get donuts every year on his diaversary (diagnosis day).We loved recording with Ashlei!  She is the definition of a momma bear who is here to protect her children at all costs.  She tells us about Colton and his diagnosis and she also shares about his alert dog, Runner.  Ashlei shares some very interesting stories about Runner and how amazing he is at alerting Colton.  These alert dogs are astounding, and I love listening to their stories.   Colton was Talki Foundation's person of the year in 2021.  This episode will conclude our recordings with the Talki Foundation.   We have loved spotlighting them through November since November is Diabetes Awareness month.   A big thank you to the Talki Foundation for sharing their stories with the world through our platform. We hope you guys take the time to listen and learn.  These are incredible stories of amazing people who don't let a diagnosis stop them from living.  Thank you for listening.  Make sure to like and subscribe to our podcast.  Thank you for sharing with your family and friends.   We love you guys!!! 

Dominique is Talki Foundation's person of the year, and we got the privilege to record with her and to share her story with all of you. Dominique tells her story about getting diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2016 due to a DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) episode.  Dominique  didn't let that slow her down for too long.  She quickly figured out how to live with this diagnosis, and how to care for herself correctly so she could continue doing the things that she loves.   Dominique is a soccer player, coach, and also plays football for the WNFC Atlanta Phoenix.  Sports has been a huge part of her life.  It is inspiring to listen to her talk about continuing to do what she loves and not letting her diagnosis keep her down. Dominique also tells us about her alert dog Bowie and how he had been so accurate at alerting her when her levels are off.  We loved recording this episode with Dominique.  She is an inspiration and an amazing woman.   I'll end this with a quote from her mother.

Welcome back to our series. Join us today as we sit down with Dr. Satyavolu, Dr. Sunny, Dr. Gutman, and Dr. Okpokpo to discuss Diabetic Ketoacidosis.

It has been said that more people suffer harm from our management of diabetic ketoacidosis than those that do from the disease itself. So how do we avoid these pitfalls in the emergency department? Adan Atriham is an emergency physician from Houston, Texas See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we'll be covering Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA), going along with this month's theme, Endocrinology. If you haven't listened to our podcast before, each week we have a case-based discussion about a medical topic to help you study for the pediatric medicine board exam. Episodes are released every weekend, and the case is then reviewed and reinforced on social media throughout the week.   Follow the podcast on social media: Facebook- @portablepeds (www.facebook.com/portablepeds) Twitter- @portablepeds (www.twitter.com/portablepeds)   We'd love to hear from you via email at portablepeds@gmail.com!   Also, feel free to visit our website, www.portablepeds.com, for more content.   Today's Case:   A 12 year old male presents to the ED for abdominal pain and vomiting, starting today. He also reports feeling increasingly thirsty after getting better from his recent URI. On exam, patient is noted to have rapid, deep breathing, and his serum labs show a pH of 7.0, blood glucose 700, and BUN 50. Bicarbonate was given due to an undetectable serum CO2 value. Additionally, this patient's corrected serum sodium failed to improve with initial therapies in the ICU. Which of the following are NOT associated with increased risk for cerebral edema in this patient?   Initial serum glucose Azotemia Decreased partial pressure of arterial CO2 Treatment with bicarbonate Lack of increase in serum sodium during therapy   We would like to give an enormous thank you to Zack Goldmann for designing this podcast's logo and accompanying artwork.

EMS A to Z: Diabetic Ketoacidosis Show Notes: From your hosts, Dr. Josh Gaither, Dr. Amber Rice, and Dr. Rachel Munn What is DKA? Diabetic ketoacidosis is a metabolic state in which either a lack of insulin (Type 1 Diabetes) or resistance to insulin (Type 2 Diabetes) prevents the body from using glucose for energy. When that happens, the body must use alternate energy sources, such as fatty acids. This type of metabolism produces acidic ketones. When you put all of this together, you get elevated blood sugar, elevated ketones, and an acidic blood pH.    Who is at risk for DKA? DKA is more common in Type I diabetes, in which patients do not produce enough of their own insulin. It can also occur in Type II diabetes. In Type II diabetes, patients typically still make insulin, but their tissues are resistant to it. Another process that can occur in Type II diabetes is something called HHS – hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state. HHS has even higher blood glucose levels than DKA, raises the blood osmolality, and can result in severe dehydration. It doesn't have the ketone production or acidosis typical of DKA.    What are some common causes of DKA? Insulin noncompliance / underdosing Infection MI   How do we identify DKA in the prehospital setting? Typical symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, possibly symptoms of a precipitating infection. If DKA is severe, altered mental status or respiratory compromise may occur. Our assessment may reveal a patient with tachycardia, hypotension, and increased respiratory rate. You may notice signs of dehydration with dry mucous membranes, or kussmaul breathing, which is a deep, rapid respiratory pattern. Obviously elevated glucose can clue you in as well, however there are cases of what's known as “euglycemic DKA” when the patient is in DKA with a relatively normal BGL. This can happen if a patient is in a starvation type state, have an insulin pump, recent administration of insulin, or be taking a certain class of diabetic medications (the SGLT2 inhibitors). You can recognize them as they end in “flozin”.    How do we treat DKA in the prehospital setting? IV fluids are the first place we start. These patients are often quite dehydrated, so volume resuscitation is the first step. In addition, there are some significant electrolyte abnormalities – namely hypokalemia – that can occur in DKA and we want to make sure that we know the patient's acid base status and potassium levels before we initiate the other mainstay therapy in the hospital, which is obviously insulin.   What are some specific considerations in pediatric patients? DKA can be the first presentation of diabetes in a pediatric patient. Diabetes can present in children, typically between ages 4-7, however some can present later, in the 10-14 range. We are seeing pediatric patients, more adolescents, developing type II diabetes, however it's less likely that these kids will present in DKA. A pediatric patient with DKA may have altered mental status, nausea, vomiting, appear dehydrated and lethargic. A blood glucose should be checked in these kids. Initiating IV fluid resuscitation is also appropriate, starting with a 10mL/kg fluid bolus.  

*** Rx Bricks Season Pass https://go.usmle-rx.com/brick-season-pass/ *** Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is one of the most dreaded acute complications of diabetes mellitus. It is a medical emergency. When patients with DKA arrive at the emergency department, they are clearly ill, with vomiting, diarrhea, disordered breathing, and mental status changes—even unconsciousness. Up to 2% of patients with DKA may die from the disorder. This means physicians must understand the multistep and complex treatment. Let's look at what is involved. After listening to this Audio Brick, you should be able to: Define diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and present an overview of the risk factors for DKA. Describe the pathophysiology of DKA. Describe the presenting signs and symptoms of DKA, and explain how they relate to the pathophysiology. Discuss common laboratory findings at presentation and during treatment of DKA.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Professor Pete Alexander to discuss all things stress-related. Stress can affect us in more ways than we realize, and today we talk about some of the biggest culprits, ourselves, and our thinking. We discuss stress related to not just work but caregiving, relationships, and more. He also offers us some tips on how to help ourselves.Here are some Tips from Professor PeteKnow Your Stress Triggers: https://petealexander.com/stress-relief-tool-learn-your-stress-triggers/Don't Try To Control The Uncontrollable: https://petealexander.com/stress-relief-tool-dont-try-to-control-the-uncontrollable/Mental and Emotional Release: https://petealexander.com/stress-relief-tool-mental-and-emotional-release/Ask the Pendulum: https://petealexander.com/stress-relief-tool-ask-the-pendulum/******During Professor Pete's career, he had the privilege to work in various positions, including Sales, Marketing, College Professor, and Small Business Owner. Each role had one thing in common - high stress - to the point they diagnosed him with stress-related diabetes and ended up in the hospital with a severe case of diabetic ketoacidosis, a few hours away from being comatose. It was a reality check for him. When you don't have your health, not much else matters. He knew it was time to walk away even though he had a great job, secure income, and wonderful benefits. Interestingly, his coworkers and peers were very supportive, and most of them told him they admired his decision to put his health first before his career because they were contemplating the same thing. He realized then that it wasn't just him. Now, he has dedicated his professional career to helping other hard-driving leaders avoid his mistakes and immensely benefit from the wonderful tools and techniques He has learned and experienced first-hand. Besides a regular video blog series, he launched a book on Amazon, an international bestseller.https://www.linkedin.com/in/petealexander/https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RTZJM76https://petealexander.com/blog-stress-relief-activities-for-adults/--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/d-m-needom/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/d-m-needom/supportSupport the show

Do you suffer from diabetes mellitus?  If so, you may want to listen up!  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute.  Diabetic ketoacidosis can happen when the body does not make or receive enough insulin, causing the body to break down fat, not sugar, for energy.  This fat is turned into acids called ketones by the liver.  Ketones spill over into urine when they build in the bloodstream.  When this happens, it begins to turn the blood acidic—making it a medical emergency.  Symptoms of diabetic ketoacidosis include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, rabid breathing, fruity smell to breath, weakness, and confusion.  Diabetic ketoacidosis is more likely to happen to people with type 1 diabetes, but it can occur in people with type 2 diabetes.  Risk factors for people with type 2 diabetes include age, race, and obesity.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.
