Clinical Case
89 y.o. gentleman has had acceptable glycemic control until recently, on metformin 1000 mg BID and glipizide ER 5 mg daily.
• S. creatinine 1.12 (eGFR 58 ml/min/1.73m2)
Lately, he has had higher glucose readings overnight, with bedtime BGs in 200-260 mg/dl range. He admits to having desserts at night.
• Nocturia every 2 hours
• S. creatinine increased to 1.3 (eGFR 48 ml/min/1.73m2)
• His nephrologist tells him this is due to dehydration, and advises him to drink more water
Your advice?
• Stop eating dessert • Drink more fluids • Stop metformin • Start insulin

Clinical Vignettes
1.) Schizophrenic patient hearing voices that were telling him that starting insulin would cause cancer. CDE had to also provide education to the voices to correct misinformation so patient would feel comfortable starting insulin.
2.) Another patient with type 1 and thought disorder felt Novolog and Humalog caused his hair to smell like broccoli; CDE able to patiently work with him to restart analog insulin based on discussion that doing so would improve running/biking times (no ketones=faster times)— creativity at it’s best. Meet people where they are.
3.) When new patient referrals are triaged and it is determined that they will likely need to start insulin or transition to MDI, they are scheduled with CDE immediately following MD appointment to reduce barriers for doing so (strike while the iron is hot). Provider updates CDE on plan and off we go. F/U with CDE can be more frequent to ease transition, answer questions, make insulin adjustments prn.
4.) Otherwise, we accommodate pts as best we can at time of appointment when insulin or other injectable is unexpectedly needed rather than having them return (or cancel/no show) on a different day to do so.
