there is one mistake regarding HTN control .. it should be less than 130 not 140 as he said

[josephmedman]

Hey can you please tell me the source you are using. I used AFP guidelies and wrote this algorithm in 2009 where it was the latest recommendation. If they have changed it please tell me your source. Thanks. @TurkiMD

[fornow100000]

a couple of pointers. I know this is only a review but it would help if you explained he most basic concepts as you go. This way we can all be on the same page.

a 2009 consensus also established that a Hgb A1c of >6.5% is also sufficient to dx DM

Hello there! Thanks a lot for this useful video. By the way, I hear a lot of people keep on talking about Diabetozilax Remedy (do a google search), but I'm not sure if it is good. Have you tried home remedy called Diabetozilax Remedy? I have heard several great things about it and my mate completely cure his diabetes safely with this remedy.

[newagecozaki]

ok I take your point! I am a medical doctor (junior one). I studied medicine in England.

[guitaristavista]

where did you study medicine? Or are you a nursing student? Diabetics are incredibly susceptible to infections (check the Cochrane database or any first yr medical text book). As for your comment about large bore cannulae...wow, really? You ought to know that DKA pts are treated in ICU mostly, and that fluid resuscitation within the first hour is predictive of outcome. Correction of fluid loss clarifies the clinical picture often making it sufficient to correct the acidosis.

[edcjg]

Thank you very much for the video. Is it possible to get the PDF you have put together?

Many thanks.

These are really awesome! You could always do a part 1 part 2 sorta thing.

[newagecozaki]

DM 1 pts need to get annual flu shots and pneumococcal vaccine? I bet the relationship is somewhere in there deeply hidden. In Mx of DKA, u do not need two large bore cannulas for insulin;u need it for fluid resuscitation..lol! Is important to note he specifies on diagnostic determination of these DM subsets, differential investigations are not really relevant for suspicion of DM at any stage and age. Need to concentrate on clinical pharmacy of metformin understandable!

I learned the same material in pharmacy school, maybe I can take the USMLE.

Anyway, according to JNC7 and ADA guideline, hypertension should be less than 130 mm Hg (not less than 140 mm Hg)

[joyce161]

Patients with diabetes should achieve a target blood pressure of less than 130/80 mm Hg.
