HgbA1c ≥ 6.5%
Fasting blood glucose ≥ 126 mg/dl
75 gm glucose tolerance test with a two hour
glucose value  200mg/dl.
Random glucose >200 mg/dl with symptoms
Should have two tests positive to make the
diagnosis
HbA1c often unreliable in stem cell transplant due
to anemia, transfusions

Insulin resistance: obesity, FH dm, pre diabetes, ethnic
minorities
Medications: glucocorticoids, tacrolimus, cyclosporine
Significant illness: “Stress response” related to the
release of counter-regulatory hormones
Increases in nutritional intake (e.g. restarting a diet,
starting enteral or parenteral nutrition)
Age: beta cell function decline over time
◦ Greater risk > 45 yo with substantial increase > 60


Increases hepatic glucose production

Reduces insulin sensitivity
◦ Liver
◦ Muscles

Impairs insulin secretion from the beta cell

Adverse effect on lipids
6


AM dose
◦ Fasting glucoses often normal
◦ Mild to moderately increased CBG at lunch
◦ Largest increase mid afternoon to early eve
◦ Rapid decrease after 12 hours
BID dosing
◦ Will raise glucose more equally at all times
◦ If 2nd dose given late afternoon, fastings may
be normal


Deleterious effect on beta cell
◦ Decreases insulin sensitivity
◦ Suppresses basal and meal insulin secretion
◦ Reversible

Worse with prolonged use

Dose dependent
9

Insulin is drug of choice

Basal Insulin
◦ Suppresses glucose production between meals
and overnight when not eating
◦ 50% of daily needs; closer to 40% on steroids

Bolus Insulin
◦ Limits hyperglycemia after meals
◦ 50% of daily needs; closer to 60% on steroids
10

NPH
◦ Most effective with am steroids
◦ Overnight dose– lower than am or none
◦ May use NPH alone for mild ↑ glucose

Glargine
◦ Give in am in case of peak 4 - 5 hours later
◦ Can only give enough so fasting CBG at goal
 Need higher meal doses L and D
11

Best choice is a rapid acting analogue
◦ Onset in 10” with peak at 1 hr

May also use R
◦ Longer lasting – up to 8 hrs
◦ Onset 30” – not as good for corrections

Pen formulations are best
◦ Make using insulin simpler and more convenient

Insulin Action Profiles
Aspart, Lispro, Glulisine (4–6 hours)
Plasma insulin levels
Regular (6–10 hours)
NPH (12–20 hours)
Detemir (12–24 hours)
Glargine (20-26 hours)

Evidence doesn’t support due to:
Hypoglycemia –”stacking”
 Hyperglycemia - is reactive rather than
proactive
◦ Often mismatched with changes in insulin
sensitivity
◦ It does not meet the physiologic needs of
the patient


Depends on TDD

Use only with meals

Make it simple!

Do not use at hs with am steroids initially

For more fragile pts, might want to start
correction at 200.
◦ 1u:50 > 150 (< 40u daily)
◦ 2u:50 > 150 (40 – 90u daily)
17

Weight based approach

For example – 60 kgs at 0.5u/kg
◦ Start with 0.5u/kg for TDD
◦ 0.6u/kg for high dose
◦ 30u TDD; (0.6u/kg = 36u TDD)
◦ 40% basal = 12u NPH – 8u hs; 4u hs
◦ 60% bolus = 18u
 4uB; 6uL; 8u D

Add correction dosing if pt capable

Titrate q 2 – 3 days
18




Need to gradually back off on insulin with
each decrease unless CBG’s still > 150
Reduce NPH overnight
May need to reduce L and D doses on am
dose only
If < 20 – 25u daily, may change to oral
19
Goals post transplant – no guidelines
◦ Start to lose glucose in the urine with CBG 180
◦ Try for most glucoses < 180 – 200
 Lower is better – low to mid 100’s

ADA for diabetes in general
◦ Fasting 70 – 130
◦ Postprandial: < 180
◦ HbA1c < 7%

Difficult to achieve if high dose steroids


Can consider when TDD < 20 - 25u insulin
Most common – sulfonylureas
◦
◦
◦
◦
Use short acting glipizide with am steroids
Start low dose – 2.5 - 5 mgs
Do not use glyburide due to ↑ risk of hypos
Long acting formulations will cause fasting hypos

Used with more mild hyperglycemia

More useful with lower prednisone doses
21

Metformin
◦ Risk with elevated creatinine and/or LFT’s
◦ Need to dc for radio contrast dye
◦ Better later post transplant

DPP-IV inhibitors
◦ Expensive
◦ Very modest benefit

GLP agonists
◦ SE nausea, weight loss
◦ ? Risk of pancreatitis
22

Consistent carbohydrate diet vital when on
fixed insulin doses
◦ RD consult helpful

Activity
◦ Best at time of peak glucose elevation – mid to late
afternoon
23

Managing diabetes is challenging, particularly in
addition to other medical care required post
transplant (both patient and provider!)

More of an art than a science

Patients don’t have to be perfect!

Adjust insulin q 2 – 3 days if > 200

Get endocrine consult if not attaining goals
◦ OK to have treats occasionally
◦ Ok to miss testing occasionally
