The document provides information about optimizing diabetes control through the use of an insulin pump. It discusses setting and testing basal rates to maintain stable blood glucose levels. It also covers using alternate and temporary basal rates for scheduled or unplanned changes in activity. Additionally, it explains optimizing bolus insulin through testing and adjusting the insulin-to-carb ratio and insulin sensitivity factor. Other topics include timing boluses, disconnecting from the pump, using a super bolus, and the importance of carb counting and blood glucose testing.
This document discusses insulin pump therapy and its goals of maintaining near-normal glycemia while avoiding crises and minimizing long-term complications. It describes how insulin pumps can more closely mimic physiological insulin secretion by providing basal insulin continuously and bolus doses at meals. Smart insulin pumps now include bolus calculators that help account for active insulin and minimize dosing errors, improving glycemic control for many patients with diabetes.
This document provides information on using temporary basal rates and advanced bolus options on insulin pumps. It discusses when to increase or decrease temporary basal rates for situations like illness, exercise, or fasting labs. Examples are given of setting temporary basal rates for activities like basketball practice when blood sugar may run low. The document also covers normal, extended, and dual/extended bolus options and provides examples of when each would be best for different types of meals. The concept of a "super bolus" is introduced which delivers additional insulin by suspending part of the basal rate. Tools for reminders and multiple basal patterns are also mentioned.
This document provides information about basic insulin pumping. It describes what an insulin pump is, potential benefits, and challenges. It discusses calculating basal rates, bolus doses, and correction factors. It provides guidance on pump maintenance like changing sites and settings. It addresses common questions around pump use, troubleshooting, and ensuring settings are optimized. The overall message is that pumps require diligent self-care and monitoring to achieve good blood sugar control.
The document provides information on using temporary basal rates and advanced bolus options on insulin pumps. It discusses when to use temporary basal rate increases or decreases, such as for illness, exercise, or changes in activity level. It also reviews normal, extended, and dual/split bolus options and provides examples of when each would be appropriate. The document highlights tools like basal patterns, alarms, and pump suspensions that can help manage insulin needs and support forgetfulness. It concludes with tips for pump use and answers to common pump questions.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the pancreas cannot produce insulin. It affects about 5% of diabetics and often develops before age 30. For athletes with type 1 diabetes, maintaining steady blood glucose levels is crucial for performance, as hypoglycemia can cause fatigue and reduced endurance. Pre-workout meals and carbohydrate intake during and after exercise are important, as is carefully timing insulin to avoid hypoglycemia. With careful management, type 1 diabetes does not have to limit athletic performance.
Insulin pump therapy can offer you a more flexible lifestyle. The benefits and disadvantages are things to consider when making the decision to switch to an insulin pump.

Gestational diabetes develops due to increased insulin resistance during pregnancy. It can cause complications for both mother and fetus if uncontrolled. The standard treatment is insulin therapy, but oral hypoglycemic drugs like glyburide may be used. Glyburide does not cross the placenta and has not been shown to cause fetal anomalies. It can be started at a low dose of 2.5 mg once daily before meals and increased slowly as needed to control blood sugar levels while minimizing risks for the mother and fetus. Lifestyle changes like diet and exercise are also important for managing gestational diabetes.
Insulin pumps can help manage diabetes during pregnancy by more closely mimicking normal insulin physiology compared to multiple daily injections. Starting insulin pump settings during pregnancy typically involve dividing total daily insulin dose in half, with 50% for basal rates given continuously over 24 hours and 50% for bolus doses with meals. Basal and bolus rates often need adjustment throughout pregnancy as insulin resistance and needs increase. Close monitoring of blood sugars is important for optimizing pump settings to help prevent hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. After delivery, insulin requirements usually decrease rapidly but may need to be adjusted based on breastfeeding and return of normal glucose levels.

No, it is generally not recommended to treat high blood sugars and ketones with an insulin pump alone. When a person has both high blood sugar and ketones, it means they require more insulin than their basal rates can provide. It is safer in this situation to treat with injections of rapid-acting insulin until blood sugar and ketones start to improve. The pump basal rates may need to be increased temporarily as well. Treating only with the pump risks not delivering enough insulin quickly enough to address the problem. Shots provide a larger, faster-acting dose that is more appropriate in this medical emergency situation.
Recent advances in insulin manufacturing and treatmentjinanAlmousawy
This document discusses recent advances in insulin manufacturing and treatment. It describes the different types of diabetes and insulin, including rapid-acting, short-acting, intermediate-acting, and long-acting insulin.

This document discusses insulin pump therapy for diabetes. It explains that an insulin pump aims to mimic the body's natural basal-bolus insulin production and delivery pattern. Basal insulin is continuously delivered to suppress glucose production, while bolus insulin is administered with meals based on blood sugar levels and carbohydrate intake. The document provides details on programming and using an insulin pump, benefits and challenges of pump therapy, and topics to cover in patient education.
Type 1 Diabetes is well known as insulin dependent Diabetes. One needs to take insulin injections and monitor blood sugar levels regularly. Sharing some tips which will be helpful in managing Type 1 Diabetes well controlled.
The goal in managing diabetes during pregnancy is to maintain near-normal glucose levels to decrease risks for the baby. This can be achieved through medical nutrition therapy and insulin as needed. Only certain insulins like NPH, regular human insulin, lispro and aspart are approved for use in pregnancy. Lispro and aspart are preferred over regular insulin as they provide better post-meal control with fewer side effects. Insulin dosing is adjusted throughout pregnancy based on weight and stage of pregnancy. Near-normal glucose levels are also important during delivery to prevent neonatal hypoglycemia.

This document provides information about eating and managing diabetes, including:
- Target blood glucose levels before and after meals
- How to keep blood glucose levels on target through food choices, physical activity, and medication
- The diabetes food pyramid, which divides foods into groups and recommends daily servings
- Details on starches, vegetables, fruits, milk, meat, fats and sweets, including examples of serving sizes
- Creating a custom meal plan with daily servings from each food group
This document provides an introduction to weight loss and discusses body fat. It explains that excess body fat can lead to health issues and a poor self-image. There are different types of fat, and it is important to distinguish muscle from fat when considering one's body composition. The document outlines healthy body fat percentage ranges for men and women. Overall, it sets up the topic of weight loss that will be explored in further chapters.
This document provides information on carbohydrate counting for diabetes management. It defines carbohydrate counting as a method to calculate grams of carbohydrates consumed. The goals are to maintain consistent carb intake, increase dietary flexibility, and manage blood glucose. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose and absorbed into the bloodstream. Foods like fruits, starches, grains and milk contain carbs. Counting carbs involves identifying carb-containing foods and determining servings equal to 15 grams of carbs. Tools like mobile apps, food labels and visual guides can help estimate carb amounts. Physical activity also impacts blood sugar, so carb intake may need adjustment based on activity level and intensity.
It is important to keep blood sugar levels within target range to prevent long-term health issues like heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease. Checking blood sugar regularly with a glucose meter or continuous glucose monitor can help achieve this. Target levels before meals are 80-130 mg/dL and under 180 mg/dL two hours after starting a meal. Low blood sugar under 70 mg/dL should be treated right away with a quick-acting carbohydrate to raise glucose levels. Maintaining a healthy diet, weight, and exercise routine can also help manage blood sugar long-term.

The document discusses the benefits of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems and insulin pump therapy for managing diabetes. CGM provides valuable trend information that can help optimize insulin dosing. Intensive therapy typically involves multiple daily injections of long-acting and rapid-acting insulin. However, absorption of long-acting insulin can vary significantly, leading to day-to-day blood glucose fluctuations. Insulin pump technology allows for programmable insulin delivery to better match a person's changing needs.
Perioperative Management of Patients with an Insulin PumpAllina Health
A team at Abbott Northwestern Hospital developed guidelines for managing patients with insulin pumps undergoing surgery. Previously, there was no systematic approach, putting patients at risk for severe hypo- and hyperglycemia. The team included diabetes, hospitalist, anesthesia, surgery, nursing and pharmacy staff. They created processes for identifying insulin pump patients pre-op, documenting pump settings, and developing pre-op plans for alternative insulin therapies when pumps cannot be used. Nurses were trained on the guidelines. Since implementation, most patients' blood sugars have remained within target ranges during surgery, and patient satisfaction with team coordination has increased.

The document discusses insulin pumps as an alternative treatment for diabetes compared to traditional multiple daily injections. Insulin pumps provide continuous insulin delivery through an infusion set and are programmed to deliver basal and bolus doses. While insulin pumps are more expensive initially than injections, they provide benefits like better blood glucose control and more flexibility with meals and activities. The technology has advanced significantly since the first prototype pump in 1964 and continues to improve, but some disadvantages remain like potential weight gain and the need to remove the pump for certain activities.
The document summarizes information about insulin pumps. Insulin pumps are external devices that mimic the pancreas by continuously measuring blood sugar levels and injecting insulin to maintain normal levels. Traditional pumps include the pump unit to control insulin delivery, a disposable insulin reservoir, and a disposable infusion set including a cannula and tubing. Insulin pumps offer benefits over multiple daily injections such as increased flexibility and more precise insulin delivery to reduce complications. However, disadvantages include risks of infection and malfunction leading to ketoacidosis as well as the high cost of pumps.
The document describes an insulin pump that measures a patient's blood sugar levels and automatically injects insulin to maintain safe levels. It functions by taking periodic glucose readings and comparing them to determine if insulin should be injected to counter rising sugar levels. The goal is to keep sugar within a safe band like a healthy pancreas would. The pump hardware, software requirements, and safety considerations are discussed to minimize risks like overdose or underdose from failures.
Various insulin pumps used to deliver insulin to the human body and its application along with its advantages and disadvantages are outlined in this presentation.
This document provides an overview of insulin pumps, including their history, advantages, candidates for pumping, choosing a pump and infusion set, starting on a pump, and troubleshooting. It discusses how pumps began in the late 1970s, the basal-bolus concept, and advantages like flexibility and more consistent insulin delivery. Good pump candidates are those willing to monitor blood sugar frequently and adjust doses. Choosing a pump involves considering features, size, and customer support. Starting requires education, practice, and record keeping. Troubleshooting focuses on common early problems with setup, leaks, clogs, and site issues.

This document discusses types of support for managing diabetes and provides suggestions for building a supportive network. It identifies emotional and hands-on support, potential support people like family, friends, and care teams, and recommends asking supports to help with specific diabetes tasks. The document also notes that communicating treatment needs calmly, praising behavior, and problem-solving together are most helpful, while blaming, shaming, nagging or denying worries are not supportive. It encourages expressing experiences to gain support and finding balance through fun family activities and self-care.
This document discusses the challenges of managing diabetes and the toll it can take on families. It notes that while behavior is important for blood glucose control, many other factors also influence levels. Parents often feel responsible for blood glucose numbers outside of their control. The document acknowledges that distress, burnout, conflicts and feeling overwhelmed are common experiences for families dealing with diabetes. However, it provides suggestions for improving diabetes management and quality of life, such as focusing on strengths, catching children being good with their management, using praise over criticism, setting realistic goals, and finding humor.

This is a presentation authored and presented by my friend and colleague at Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Barbara Anderson. This is a module in the 2014 Advanced Diabetes Seminar at Texas Lions Camp.
During this presentation, Dr. Anderson dives deeper to provide insight into the timely and relevant topic: “Grandparents have an important role on the diabetes team.”
This is a presentation authored and developed by my friend and colleague Dr. Barbara Anderson of Baylor College of Medicine. The presentation is a module in the 2014 Advanced Diabetes Seminar, hosted by Texas Lions Camp.
In this discussion, Dr. Anderson dives into the topic of “Diabetes Family Teamwork with Teens: What is Success?”
Architects and architecture play a critical role in creating an inviting and safe atmosphere for the end user, but they are not clairvoyant about client culture. Organizations are best served and more likely to achieve their desired outcome by spending time educating designers about their organizational culture, vision and what will spell success when the project is completed.
The more information about the organization concerning outcomes and results that can be conveyed before the design phase even commences, the more likely the desired outcome will be achieved.
It was my privilege to present some of these ideas at the Texas Society of Architects in Austin.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
