Overview
Secondary Prevention
Effective measures for secondary prevention of GSD type 1 include:[1]
- Blood glucose (BG) monitoring
- Prevent overtreatment
- Growth tracking
- Gastrointestinal or Nutritional recommendations
- Liver screening
Blood glucose (BG) monitoring
- Initial diet prescription is established on the basis of frequent BG monitoring. Afterwards, BG monitoring is done randomly to avoid asymptomatic hypoglycemia.
- Documentation of BG testing is done before each clinic visit to adjust diet, CS intake, and overnight gastric feedings (OGFs).
The following BG levels should be checked for 2–3 days before the clinic visit:
- Before meals
- Before cornstarch (CS) intake
- Before and after exercise
- If the cornstarch dose is changed, BG levels should be checked after 4 hours and then at hourly intervals to establish the duration of effectiveness. Effectiveness is measured by the duration of time for which the dose of CS will maintain the BG level >70 mg/dl.
Lactate meter
- The lactate meter is a portable device to measure lactate concentration.[2]
- Lactate concentrations are higher in patients with GSD type 1.
- The lactate meter may act as a good supplement to glucose monitoring, particularly during times of illness to help prevent acute deterioration, to avoid hospitalization, or to alert the caregivers about emergencies.
Continuous blood glucose monitoring system
- This is a method for monitoring and managing BG control in GSD patients.[3]
- This system may also help detect asymptomatic hypoglycemia.
Prevent overtreatment
- Parents should be educated to avoid overtreating patients.
- Overtreatment may result in complications including increased glycogen storage and over time may lead to hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance.[4]
Growth tracking
- Growth should be tracked through parameters including:[1]
- Height
- Weight
- Weight/height ratio
- Body mass index
- Head circumference
- Changes in growth pattern is observed in poor metabolic control of GSD type 1.
