  2. DKA in pregnancy: can occur at lower glucose (placental shunting); treat aggressively
  3. DKA cerebral edema in kids: gradual fluid replacement; mannitol if signs
  4. Cinacalcet, hypoCa during DKA Tx: K shift can cause arrhythmia
  5. Insulin pump DKA: change set + ketone test if 高 glucose; new pump revolution AID-resistance to DKA
418.3.0.2.2 Retinopathy
  1. Faricimab (Vabysmo): Ang2 + VEGF dual; longer dosing intervals
  2. Brolucizumab: small (single chain VEGF inhibitor); rare uveitis risk

  4. Pregnancy DR worsening: 芖力 surveillance each trimester
  5. DR + intensive therapy: 6-12 mo transient worsen; benefit long-term
418.3.0.2.3 Nephropathy
  1. Finerenone vs spironolactone: less hyperK, less gynecomastia (selective)
  2. GLP-1 + SGLT2 + finerenone triple cardiorenal: emerging in trials
  3. CONFIDENCE trial: tirzepatide + finerenone CKD progression (results 2025)
  4. FLOW trial: semaglutide 1 mg in CKD (24% RR ↓ CKD progression)
  5. Renal ULAR cutoff: > 200-300 (high), > 300 macroalbuminuria
  6. Patiromer / SPS for hyperK to allow ACE-i/ARB use
418.3.0.2.4 Neuropathy
  1. Painful diabetic neuropathy combination: SNRI + gabapentinoid 比 mono effective

418.3.0.5 ⚙ DKA Detailed Protocol (內專)

Step 1 — Diagnosis:
- Glucose > 250 (eu-DKA: < 200; SGLT2 / pregnancy / starvation)
- pH < 7.30, HCO3 < 18, AG > 10
- Ketones + (urine + serum β-OHB > 3 mmol/L)
- 排 starvation ketosis, lactic acidosis (separate)

Step 2 — Fluid:
- NS 1 L over 1 h (slower if HF; faster if shock)
- Then: NS or 0.45% NS 250-500 mL/hr based on corrected Na
- Corrected Na = measured Na + 1.6 × (glucose - 100)/100
- Goal: maintain euvolemia + slow correction

Step 3 — Insulin:
- Regular insulin 0.1 U/kg IV bolus + 0.1 U/kg/hr infusion
- OR: skip bolus, just 0.14 U/kg/hr (similar outcome)
- K必先 > 3.3 (hold insulin if K < 3.3, give K 20-40 mEq/hr first)
- Glucose decline target 50-75 mg/dL/hr
- When glucose < 200: switch to D5/0.45% NS + ↓ insulin to 0.05 U/kg/hr
- Do not stop until AG ≀ 12

Step 4 — Potassium:
- K > 5.3: hold; recheck q2h
- K 3.3-5.3: 20-30 mEq KCl in each L
- K < 3.3: hold insulin + give K 20-40 mEq/hr until > 3.3

Step 5 — Bicarbonate:
- pH > 7.0: not needed
- pH < 6.9: NaHCO3 100 mEq + K 20-30 mEq in 400 mL water over 2 h
- pH 6.9-7.0: controversial; not routine

Step 6 — Phosphate:
- Routinely not needed
- < 1.0 + cardiac/respiratory dysfunction: KPhos in fluid

Step 7 — Resolution:
- Glucose < 200 + 2 of: pH > 7.30, HCO3 > 18, AG ≀ 12
- Transition to SC insulin (basal-bolus)
- IV insulin overlap 1-2 h with SC

Step 8 — Education:
- Sick day rules
- Glucose + ketone monitoring
- Insulin pump troubleshooting
- Trigger identification
- Family teaching

418.3.0.6 ⚙ Eu-DKA from SGLT2 (內專)

Mechanism:
- SGLT2 → ↑ glucagon, ↓ insulin, ↑ ketogenesis
- Glucose normal-low because urinary excretion
- High-risk: surgery, illness, fasting, low-carb diet, alcohol

Recognition:
- Glucose can be 100-250 (low for DKA)
- AG metabolic acidosis
- Ketones+

Prevention:
- Hold SGLT2 3 d before elective surgery
- Hold during major illness, low-carb diet, prolonged fasting
- Patient education

Treatment:
- Same as DKA but:
  - Glucose may need maintenance with D5/D10 from start (not later)
  - Insulin still standard
  - Restart SGLT2 after recovery (sometimes change strategy)

418.3.0.7 ⚙ DKD Treatment Algorithm (內專)

Step 1 — All DM patients:
- HbA1c < 7% (individualized)
- BP < 130/80
- Smoking cessation

Step 2 — Albuminuria detected (UACR > 30) OR eGFR < 60:
- ACE-i or ARB (max tolerated)
- Even if normotensive
- Monitor K + Cr

Step 3 — Add SGLT2 (eGFR > 20):
- Empagliflozin 10 mg or dapagliflozin 10 mg
- CV + renal benefit
- DAPA-CKD, EMPA-KIDNEY, CREDENCE

Step 4 — Add GLP-1 RA (FLOW 2024):
- Semaglutide 1 mg/wk
- Renal + CV benefit
- Especially if obese / cardiometabolic

Step 5 — Add finerenone (FIDELIO, FIGARO):
- 10-20 mg/d
- DM + CKD + albuminuria + on max ACE-i/ARB
- Monitor K (vs spironolactone less hyperK)

Step 6 — Combinations:
- ACE-i + SGLT2 + GLP-1 + finerenone all-cardiorenal
- CONFIDENCE trial (2025): tirzepatide + finerenone

Step 7 — Symptomatic / progressive:
- Nephrology referral
- Anemia (ESA, iron)
- Phosphate management
- Vitamin D
- HD/PD/transplant prep at eGFR 20-30

418.3.0.8 ⚙ Painful DPN Treatment

1st line (any of):
- Pregabalin 75-150 mg BID (max 300 BID)
- Gabapentin 300-1200 mg TID
- Duloxetine 60 mg/d
- Amitriptyline 25-100 mg HS (老人 caution; QT, anticholinergic)

2nd line:
- Combination 1st + 2nd line agent
- Tapentadol 50-100 mg q6h
- Capsaicin 8% patch (Qutenza)
- Lidocaine 5% patch

3rd line:
- Spinal cord stimulation
- Dorsal root ganglion stimulation

Avoid:
- Long-term opioid (not tapentadol)
- NSAIDs alone (not effective)

Education:
- Foot care to prevent ulcer
- Mental health (depression common)
- Sleep hygiene (pain at night)
