1 Objectives Review oral medications used for the treatment of diabetes Explain how to effectively combine oral diabetes medications for optimal results Discuss insulins and non-insulin injectable diabetes medications used for treatment Differentiate between action profiles of insulins and options for combining them in treatment Diabetes Update Lanita S. Shaverd, Pharm.D. Director, UAMS 12 th Street Health and Wellness Center Assistant Professor, UAMS College of Pharmacy Determine when it is appropriate to add insulin to an oral medication regimen Sharpen patient education counseling skills by practicing use of insulin syringes and bottles, insulin pens and other non-insulin injectables. Prevalence of Diabetes (2011) Estimated 25.8 million have diabetes Diagnosed 18.8 million people Undiagnosed 7.0 million 65 years and older 10.9 million (26.9%) have diabetes Background 20 years or younger 215,000 have diabetes (type 1 or type 2) 1.9 million 20 years or older newly diagnosed in Prevalence of Diabetes True prevalence of type 2 unknown Prevalence of Diabetes Diagnosis of type 2 increasing on children Leading cause of: Kidney failure Non traumatic lower limb amputation New cases of blindness 7 th leading cause of death 1
