Volume replenishment, volume types, the reason for choosing various types, benefits of the volume replenishment, and the complications of aggressive volume replenishment.
Insulin administration. Caution for insulin administration when potassium levels are low. The amount of insulin to administer and the rate of fall of glucose levels.
Why do insulin and glucose need to continue even after a good glucose level has been established?
What to expect in terms of potassium levels? How to manage potassium? How to correlated potassium levels to insulin and volume?

How to approach bicarb deficiency?
This short video identifies the patients that must receive insulin.
All type 1 diabetes mellitus patients.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients that fit the criteria shared in the video.
Notes
For the type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, here is the criteria.
a) If the first line therapy fails, then consider the second line of oral drugs. However, in case HbA1c is greater than 8.5% then consider insulin instead of another oral agent.
b) type 2 diabetes mellitus patients that fit the following criteria:
- HbA1c levels equal or greater than 9.5%.
- Fasting blood glucose levels equal or greater than 250 mg/dL.
- Random blood glucose levels greater than 300 mg/dL.
- Ketosis.
- Unexplained weight loss associated with hyperglycemia.
- A hyperglycemic patient whose status (type 1 diabetes mellitus vs. type 2 diabetes mellitus) is not known.
Further considerations:
- first line therapy is metformin.
- Assure the patient that it is not a personal failure to start on insulin. Instead, it is important to manage hyperglycemia reliably.

- Insulin types
- Differences among various types of insulin.
- Mnemonic to remember insulin types.
- Objectives of the insulin therapy.

- Pregnancy
- Exercise
- Obeseity
- Various eating habits.
- Hospitialized patient.
- Patients with infections.
- Elderly.
- Patients with chronic kidney disease.
- Patients with liver disease.
- The dawn phenomenon.
- The somogyi effect.
- Dose calculation:
- Total daily insulin (TDI)
- Calculating basal insulin dose/units.
- Calculating bolus insulin dose/units.
- Insulin therapy types:
- Intensive insulin therapy.
- Conventional insulin therapy.
- Sliding scale insulin therapy.
- Insulin injection sites and their properties:
- Abdomen
- Thighs and buttocks
- Arms
- Insulin syringes.
- Insulin mixing.
- Insulin filling in the syringe.
Dyslipidemia is a serious factor in cardiovascular disease, and its management is paramount in minimizing risk .
In this talk, Dr. Syed presents the model for insulin resistance presented by Dr. Barbara E. Corkey. She was awarded the Banting Lecture 2011 award for her article: Hyperinsulinemia: Cause or Consequence? Based on her groundbreaking model there have been many approaches to attempt to reverse type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We will look at the evidence of T2DM reversal, and then go over the highlights of various studies that have demonstrated the T2DM reversal using varying approaches.

Ozempic and Wegovy have Semaglutide as the active agent. Semaglutide is a synthetic GLP-1 molecule that is modified to bind reversibly with albumin. This allows the slow release of these products. These drugs are also modified to escape the rapid inactivation by DPP4. Ozempic is approved for the management of type II diabetes mellitus and protection against cardiovascular events like death, stroke, and heart attacks in diabetic patients with cardiac comorbidities. Wegovy is approved for weight loss in obese and overweight individuals and also approved for protection against cardiovascular events like death, stroke, and heart attack in obese or overweight individuals with cardiovascular comorbidities.
Semaglutide helps regulate blood glucose, slows gastric emptying, produces the feeling of satiety, and acts on area postrema in medulla oblongata to cause nausea.
Objectives of this talk are:
1. What are incretins?
2. What is GLP-1?
3. What are Semaglutides?
4. Approval for Ozempic and Wegovy.
5. Blood glucose regulation by Semaglutides.
5. Slow gastric emptying (ileal brake) by Semaglutides.
6. Effects of Semaglutides on the brain tissue to produce satiety and nausea.
7. Dosage of Semaglutide for glucose regulation vs. weight loss.
8. Blackbox warning.
9. Side effects.
10. Explanation of the side effects.
