� Endorsed by the American College of Cardiology
� ASCVD is defined as:
� Coronary heart disease
� Cerebrovascular disease
� Peripheral arterial disease
� The leading cause of morbidity and mortality in people with diabetes
� Largest contributor to direct and indirect costs
� $37.7 billion/year
� Rates of heart failure hospitalization are 2x higher in people with diabetes
Make sure people with diabetes know the signs and seek immediate help.
People with diabetes may not experience intense chest or jaw pain during heart attack due to neuropathy.

Hypertension
Stage 1 130-139 mmHg Or 80-89mmHg
Stage 2 ≥140mmHg Or ≥90mmHg
Whelton et al. 2017 High Blood Pressure Clinical Practice Guideline
Individuals with SBP and DBP in 2 categories should be designated to the higher BP category
Taking an accurate Blood Pressure
� Assess BP at every office visit
� If BP >120/80 mmHg
� Encourage lifestyle changes to reduce BP
� Lifestyle changes
� Weight loss
� DASH Style diet (fresh fruit, veggies, whole grains, reducing sodium and increasing potassium intake)
� Moderation of alcohol intake
� Increased physical activity

� BP goal <140/90mmHg if 10 year ASCVD risk <15% (ADA)
� BP goal <130/80mmHg (AACE, ACC/AHA)
� if ASCVD risk ≥15% (ADA)
� BP target based on individual assessment and shared decision making that addresses CV risk and potential adverse effects of BP meds.
Prompt initiation of drug therapy when BP is above target
�No albuminuria – Use any of 4 classes of meds
Includes ACE Inhibitors, ARBs, thiazide-like diuretics or calcium channel blockers
�With albuminuria – Start ACE Inhibitor or ARB
� (Avoid ACEi and ARB at same time)
� Multiple Drug Therapy often required
� If BP≥160/100 start 2 drug combo

Recommendations for the
treatment of confirmed
hypertension in people with
diabetes.
*An ACEi or ARB is
suggested to treat
hypertension for patients
with UACR 30–299 mg/g
creatinine and strongly
recommended for patients
with UACR ≥300 mg/g
creatinine.
**Thiazide-like diuretic; long-
acting agents shown to
reduce cardiovascular
events, such as
chlorthalidone and
indapamide, are preferred.
***Dihydropyridine calcium
channel blocker.
Initial dose adjustment may be needed for renal dysfunction or elderly

Initial dose adjustment may be needed for renal dysfunction or elderly
• Adverse effects– Dry cough with ACEI
– Caused by inhibition of bradykinin breakdown
– Hyperkalemia– Angioedema (< 1%)
• Occurs 2-4x more frequently in African Americans– Bump in SCr
• Up to 30% is acceptable
– Orthostatic hypotension (initial dose)– Skin rash (captopril)
• Contraindications– Pregnancy – Bilateral renal artery stenosis

� Not meeting BP targets on 3 classes of antihypertensive meds (including a diuretic) at optimal doses
� Consider mineralcorticoid receptor antagonist
� Spironolactone (Adlactone®) 25-100mg daily
� Eplerenone (Inspira®) 50-100mg daily
� Monitor serum creatinine, potassium
� Use in recurrent MI, heart failure
� Side effects: depression, sexual dysfunction, exercise intolerance, sedation, dizziness
� Monitor BP, lipids, heart rate, glucose
� When stopping, taper dose gradually
� Can elevate glucose and mask adrenergic symptoms of hypoglycemia (ex. tachycardia)
� Sweating will still occur (cholinergic mediated)

� Direct renin inhibitors (Alsikiren, Tekturna®)
� Similar side effects to ACEi/ARB, rarely used in clinical practice
� Combined alpha and beta blockers (ex. Carvedilol)
� Similar precautions as beta blockers
� Loop diuretics (ex. Furosmedie)
� Use when eGFR<30 or if greater diuresis is needed, monitor electrolytes
� Potassium sparing diuretics (ex. Amiloride, triamterene)
� Use in combination with thiazide to retain potassium, minimal effect on BP
� Alpha 1 blockers (ex. Doxazosin)
� Vasodilator, risk of orthostatic hypotension
� Often used for people with DM + benign prostatic hypertropthy (BPH)
� Alpha 2 agonists (ex. Clonidine)
� Centrally acting
� Administer with a diuretic
� Side effects: sedation, dry mouth, orthostatic hypotension, impotence
� Avoid abrupt discontinuation

�Each 38 mg/dl LDL reduction reduces relative risk of death and CVD by 9-13%.
Kearney PM et al. Lancet 2008;371:117–125, ADA Standards of Care 2020
� Consider fibrates or fish oil when TG>500mg/dLand definitely when TG>1000mg/dL
� High TG puts people at increased pancreatitis risk
� Rule out secondary causes
� In People with ASCVD on a statin with controlled LDL but elevated TG (135-499mg/dL), adding icosapent ethyl can be considered to reduce CV risk (REDUCE-IT trial)

� Consider aspirin therapy (75-162 mg/day) for most men or women w DM age ≥ 50 years, with 1 additional CVD risk factor and not at increased risk of bleeding
� Caution in patients over 70 (higher bleeding risk)
� In pts who can’t tolerate, use Plavix, (clopidogrel)
CVD risk factors: family history of premature ASCVD, hypertension, smoking, dyslipidemia, CKD/albuminuria
� Use aspirin (75-162mg/day) in those with diabetes and a history of ASCVD
� Dual antiplatelet therapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor for 1 year after acute coronary syndrome and may have benefits beyond
� With known CVD and HTN, use:
� Aspirin

� Use calculations as a starting point
� Fix fasting first
� Begin with basal rate testing
� Multiple patterns can be set throughout the day
� Alternative basal patterns can be set for sick days, menstruation, etc
� Once basal at goal, focus on bolus settings
BasalBolus
� Start with glucose 80-180mg/dL with last bolus > 4 hours
� Wear CGM or check glucose every 2 hours
� Glucose should not change by more than 30mg/dL if basal is effective
� Avoid physical activity, stress, and high fat meals before test
� Start with overnight, and then work on the rest of the day in smaller segments
� If >30mg/dL rise or fall, make basal rate adjustment, 10-20% increments

Do you see any problems?
� Temporarily increase or decrease basal settings
� A great option for high stress, sick days, steroid bursts, exercise, etc.
� Start the temp basal 1-2 hours prior to exercise or activity requiring the change
� If patient is using a lot of temp basals, it’s more difficult to make adjustments
� Not apparent on some pump reports

� Rule of 450
� 450/49=12.9
� Current carb ratio is 15
The calculation is different from the current carb ratio. Look at the glucose data to determine if the carb ratio should be decreased.
� Does glucose go low after a correction dose? � May need a higher
sensitivity� Ex. 1:60 instead of 1:50
� Does glucose remain high after a correction dose? � May need a lower
sensitivity� Ex. 1:50 instead of 1:60
� Often people are more sensitive overnight (less insulin needed)
� Does the person spike high after eating?� Is the person bolusing BEFORE the
meal� Counting carbs correctly? � May need a more intensive carb
ratio� Ex. 1:8 instead of 1:10
� Does the person go low after eating? � Counting carbs correctly? � May need a less intensive carb ratio� Ex. 1:10 instead of 1:8

� Compare pre-meal BG to 2 hour post-meal BG
� Goal post-meal BG should be 30-60mg/dLhigher than pre-meal BG
� If the 2 hour PPG is >60mg/dL above pre-meal
� Decrease carb ratio by 10-20%
� If the 2 hour PPG is <30mg/dL above pre-meal
� Increase the carb ratio by 10-20%
� When BG is above target and correction dose is taken (without food), does glucose return to target within 3-4 hours?
� If BG is low at 3-4 hours, the ISF is likely too strong
� Increase by 10-20%
� Example: 5055 or 60
� If BG is high after 3-4 hours, the ISF is too weak
� Decrease by 10-20%
� Example: 5045 or 40
� Is basal staying constant overnight?
� Are carbs entered for boluses?
� Is glucose under 180, 2 hours after meals and returning to 80-130, 4 hours after meals?
