Overview

Secondary Prevention

Secondary prevention is focused to decrease the macrovascular complications. Application of effective strategies can result in up to 50% risk reduction in macrovascular complications.[1] Effective measures in this case include:[2]

  • Glycemic control
  • Treatment of lipid disorder
Triglyceride level should be less than 150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L) and favorable HDL levels is >40 mg/dL (1.0 mmol/L) for men and >50 mg/dL (1.3 mmol/L) for women.
Statin treatment for preventive measures should be considered for all diabetic patients. The following table summarizes the statin therapy strategies:

† :In addition to lifestyle therapy.

¶ :CVD risk factors include LDL cholesterol ≥100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L), high blood pressure, smoking, and overweight and obesity.

Δ :Overt CVD includes those with previous cardiovascular events or acute coronary syndromes.

  • Blood pressure control
Blood pressure should be measured in every visits. Goal of blood pressure is less than 140/90
  • Smoking cessation
  • Using Aspirin
  • Weight reduction
  • Vaccination including, annual influenza, pneumococcal vaccination and hepatitis B.
  • Regular dental care
  • Regular foot care
