Diabetes Strategies for Endocrinologists-Managing T2DM in CKD

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Rodolfo Galindo discusses the management of type 2 diabetes in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). He emphasizes the importance of glycemic control and avoiding complications such as hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. Dr. Galindo recommends using glucose monitoring indicators like A1C, glycated albumin, and fructosamine. He also discusses the potential benefits of using GLP-1 agonists, DPP-4 inhibitors, and basal insulin in these patients. Dr. Galindo advises against over-insulinization and highlights the need for individualized treatment plans. He also mentions the potential use of closed-loop systems and CGM in this patient population. However, he acknowledges that more research is needed to determine the optimal management strategies for these patients. Overall, Dr. Galindo emphasizes the importance of personalized care and regular monitoring for patients with type 2 diabetes and advanced CKD.
