Contribution to science and evidence base of Insulin therapy by Dr Sanjay Kalra

As of January 2024, Dr Sanjay Kalra has over 23,000 citations of his publications along with an H index of 68 and an i10-index of 439. His main focus has been Insulin therapy.

Basal

Dr Kalra has been abreast with the latest literature on insulin and has written several articles on their evolution and appropriate patient-centric use in different clinical settings. [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] In addition to highlighting the key advantages of each type of basal insulins, specific articles have been written to help with their use in special populations including but not limited to pediatric populations and pregnancy. [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] His work has not only focused on initiation but also on tips to intensify basal insulin therapy with specific emphasis on optimizing the insulin techniques for basal insulin. [29] [30] [31] In addition to papers on type 2 diabetes, Dr Kalra has extensively written on the role of different insulins in type 1 diabetes as well. [32] [33] [34]

Premixed

Appropriate patient selection is one of key components of successful use of premixed insulin regime. Dr Kalra has been the lead author for spearheading this concept in a comprehensive review in collaboration with authors from over 25 countries. [35] He has also extensively published on the use of pre-mixed insulin during the fasting period of Ramadan and in another paper addressed the use of this formulation in special situations from initiation to intensification. [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] He has also periodically published updates about the premixed insulins over the last decade including real-world evidence of newer co-formulations. [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50]

Motivation, Technique, Counseling

Dr Kalra has spearheaded several original studies focusing on understanding the prevailing insulin usage practices in the South Asian region. [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] Dr Kalra has been instrumental in leading several manuscripts that have focused on regional best practices and recommendations highlighting the advancements in Insulin delivery devices, injection technique teaching methods, monitoring, and complication management. [56] [57] [58] [59] [60] [61] He has been the lead author for the expert recommendations for using insulin in India published in 2017. [62]

Novel Concepts Concepts such as insulin hesitancy, insulin stewardship, patient-friendly intensification, insulin related emotions, social marketing, insulin flexibility, insulin misperceptions, insulin taxonomy, insulin objectivity, insulin triage, smarter insulin therapy, spearheaded by Dr Kalra are novel, important and presented in an easy to remember method.29, [63] [64] [65] [66] [67] [68] [69] [70] [71] [72] [73] [74] These concepts are not only helpful in boosting the confidence of the patients in taking insulin but also for the general practioners. [75]

Person-centered Approach

Person-centered clinical management is now considered the most sustainable and effective model for chronic diseases. [76] [77] Dr Kalra has worked extensively on this concept especially in relation to insulin use. [78] [79] [80] He has also identified the key barriers of insulin usage and described the bridges to overcome these barriers in especially in low- and middle-income countries.34,69, [81] [82] [83] [84] He has also been the lead author for many multinational panels and evidence based recommendations focusing on individualization of time in range goals,32, [85] [86] [87] [88] and on administration techniques including his paper published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings. [89] [90]

Contribution to Obesity Science by Dr Sanjay Kalra

Epidemiology of Obesity

Dr Kalra has been the lead senior author for several epidemiological studies in the field of obesity. [91] [92] In addition to using national datasets he has been one of the regional lead investigators for his state in the ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) funded –INDIAB Study. Several papers from this cohort have been published including the national prevalence of obesity published in Lancet last year and several other papers from this cohort. [93]
[94] In addition, he has also been involved in studying the prevalence of obesity related comorbidities including but not limited to steatotic liver disease. [95] In a recently published paper from the Comprehensive National Nutrition Survey, he is the senior author of this largest series on the prevalence of childhood obesity from India. [96] From another large cohort of elderly people called the Longitudinal Aging Study of India, Dr Kalra has been the lead author to publish the first national statistics on the prevalence of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in India. [97]

Simplified Clinical Approach

Concepts like Bariatric Triage, Gut Guardianship, medical gastronomy, obesity-friendly language are easy to grasp and clinically very helpful to implement in day to day practice. [98] [99] [100] [101] [102] He has also addressed the pathogenesis, comorbidities and complications of obesity in several of his review papers including a recent review paper on MASLD published in Endocrine Clinics of North America. [103] [104] [105] [106] [107] [108] [109] [110] [111] [112] [113] [114] Many other papers led by Dr Kalra are a ready reckoner for those who are naïve in the field of obesity management and require guidance on simple steps to set up obesity clinics and looking for easy to follow clinical protocols for evaluation and management of obesity.78,101, [115] [116] [117] [118] [119] [120]

Lifestyle and Drug Management

Dr Kalra has time and again published and emphasized on the importance of lifestyle management in the treatment of obesity. He has emphasized on the use of traditional activities for improving physical function of patients with obesity.116, [121] [122] [123] Nutrition has been one of key areas of education and research for Dr Kalra. [124] He has advocated the understanding of the concept of mega nutrients for usage of fiber and water as they are consumed in much larger quantities than macronutrients. [125] [126] [127] He has been the author on the national consensus of fiber intake in India. [128] Person-centered obesity care has been another strong focus of Dr Kalra's teachings and lectures. [129] The same is very relevant in the flied of obesity and several of his papers have time and again emphasized how one size does not fit all in obesity management and provided deep insights how to choose person centered care and anti-obesity management strategies.76 [130] [131] [132] He has been abreast with the developments of the GLP-1 receptor agonists and periodically published comprehensive updates on these molecules as more evidence was generated over the last one decade. [133] [134] [135] [136] [137]

Sarcopenia and Sarcopenic Obesity

In a recently published scoping review led by Dr Kalra as a senior author, the current literature about the impact of sarcopenic obesity on the development and progression of cardiovascular disease has been summarized. Furthermore, evidence-based therapeutic and preventive strategies for the same have been proposed in this manuscript. [138] He has also published extensively to facilitate diagnosis of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in resource constrained settings and has spearheaded the write-up for a South Asian consensus on the same. [139] [140]

Advocacy and Guidelines

Dr Kalra has been the lead author and senior author for several guidelines in the field of Obesity and Nutrition Health.103,104,140 [141] [142] [143] [144] [145] He has been the lead author for several papers that have highlighted the need and action plan for advocacy needed for curbing the obesity pandemic in the country including the problem of gender disparity for this disease.138 [146] [147] [148] He has also extensively advocated on methods to curb and prevent the obesity pandemic. [149] Not only confined to the Indian Subcontinent but several advocacy related papers representing the challenges, concerns and need for larger collaboration between different countries have been published.143 [150] He is also a coauthor on the medical management of patients before and after undergoing bariatric surgery. [151]

Innovation and Novel Ideas Possibly as a Reality of the Future

Dr Kalra coined the term Barocrinology as a science dedicated to the field of obesity.116 [152] [153] He has ever since published several concepts pertaining to Baro-health and also is a lead section editor of the Barocrinology section of one of the leading PubMed indexed South Asian journal. Concepts like Barocene Era, Barometric nervosa, Bariatric pyramid, Baromania, Baro-Bullying, Lipokathesis, Ominous Octet of obesity, Obesity as a communicable disease are not described in literature but help to understand complex obesity science related concepts in a simple and easy manner.114 [154] [155] [156] [157] [158] [159] [160] Furthermore, Dr Kalra has also drafted several easy to follow models to help implement intensive behavioral therapy in clinical management of obesity. [161] [162] He has drawn analogies of obesity management with quantum physics, traditional customs and religious diversity. All of these have been well appreciated and extensively cited. [163] [164] [165]

Research and Publications Highlighting the Concept of Person-centered Care in the Management of Chronic Metabolic Disorders

Dr Kalra has emphasized the importance of person-centered care for over a decade through his reviews, research, and communications in various national and international journals. One of his earlier citations on this topic goes back to a paper he had spearheaded in 2013, where he described the role of a person-centered approach during insulin initiation and intensification, which indeed is one of the most challenging aspects during the clinical management of diabetes.79 Though a large body of his work has been focused on diabetes77,79, [166] he has applied concepts of this approach even in patients with other chronic metabolic disorders like obesity and other common endocrine disorders including hypogonadism and hypothyroidism.78 [167] [168]

Dr Kalra has written about both menopause distress and late-onset male hypogonadism, not only simplifying their complex definitions but also in detail describing the person-centric thresholds, targets, tools, and techniques (management).167,168 He is also the lead author of a paper called Thyroid Tantrums in Teenagers, which reflects on many variations that can happen at this age, reflecting the underlying management, assessment, testing technique, associated biomedical illness, and training. [169] Moreover, his work in this field encompasses across all age groups. In a recently published article, he published geriatric goalposts on independence and interdependence, clearly highlighting the importance of person-centric care in the elderly. [170]

The key principles for person-centered care highlighted in Dr Kalra's papers include maintaining very good communication with the patient.65,102 [171] Other core principles for patient-centered care are ensuring that the cost of therapy fits the patient's pocket and that the management plan can be followed easily. [172] [173] A special emphasis on the happiness of not only the patient, [174] [175] but also the treating physician has been given. [176] Strengthening family support, social acceptance, and caring for the patient's emotions are other important components highlighted by Dr Kalra that provide good patient-centered care.69, [177] [178] Furthermore, the utility of indigenous methods for lifestyle change and personal hygiene has also been mentioned as a successful method for improving patient-centered care.123,166, [179]

Dr Kalra has also proposed several frameworks that make it easy for the treating clinician to incorporate the above-mentioned principles in practicing person-centered patient care.129,161,162, [180] [181] These frameworks have attracted several citations in the literature. In collaboration with researchers in Morocco, he has published the SURE framework delineating the glycemic personality of a given patient and thereby assisting in a person-centered choice in diabetes care.181 In another paper on the Motivation-Opportunity-Capability (MOC) model for the management of obesity, he highlighted the importance of understanding the behavior of a patient with obesity and suggested therapeutic strategies that are more likely to be effective in a person-centric manner by focusing on the opportunities and capability of the given patient.

Contributing further through original research on this subject, Dr Kalra has been part of multicentric international collaborative research that has contributed to a deeper understanding of patient-centric management. [182] [183] [184] In a 3-year pan India real-world longitudinal study on diabetes outcomes (LANDMARC trial), data is being collected on the trends in complications associated with diabetes, treatment strategies used by physicians, and correlation among treatment, control, and complications of diabetes within the Indian context. The findings of this study will help to identify the disease burden, emergence of early-onset complications and dose titration patterns, and eventually, develop person-centered care and facilitate public health agencies to invest appropriate resources in the management of diabetes.182

Another large, multicentric international collaborative study called the DAWN (Diabetes Attitudes Wishes and Needs) project highlighted how cross-national benchmarking using psychometrically validated indicators can help identify areas for improvement and best practices to drive changes that improve outcomes for people with diabetes.183,184

Insulin resistance (IR) is a pathological condition in which cells in insulin-sensitive tissues in the body fail to respond normally to the hormone insulin or downregulate insulin receptors in response to hyperinsulinemia.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Type 2 diabetes</span> Form of diabetes mellitus

Type 2 diabetes (T2D), formerly known as adult-onset diabetes, is a form of diabetes mellitus that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin. Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue and unexplained weight loss. Symptoms may also include increased hunger, having a sensation of pins and needles, and sores (wounds) that do not heal. Often, symptoms develop slowly. Long-term complications from high blood sugar include heart disease, stroke, diabetic retinopathy, which can result in blindness, kidney failure, and poor blood flow in the lower-limbs, which may lead to amputations. The sudden onset of hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state may occur; however, ketoacidosis is uncommon.

Drugs used in diabetes treat diabetes mellitus by decreasing glucose levels in the blood. With the exception of insulin, most GLP-1 receptor agonists, and pramlintide, all diabetes medications are administered orally and are thus called oral hypoglycemic agents or oral antihyperglycemic agents. There are different classes of hypoglycemic drugs, and selection of the appropriate agent depends on the nature of diabetes, age, and situation of the person, as well as other patient factors.

Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) refers to any of several hereditary forms of diabetes mellitus caused by mutations in an autosomal dominant gene disrupting insulin production. Along with neonatal diabetes, MODY is a form of the conditions known as monogenic diabetes. While the more common types of diabetes involve more complex combinations of causes involving multiple genes and environmental factors, each forms of MODY are caused by changes to a single gene (monogenic). GCK-MODY and HNF1A-MODY are the most common forms.

The term diabetes includes several different metabolic disorders that all, if left untreated, result in abnormally high concentrations of a sugar called glucose in the blood. Diabetes mellitus type 1 results when the pancreas no longer produces significant amounts of the hormone insulin, usually owing to the autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. Diabetes mellitus type 2, in contrast, is now thought to result from autoimmune attacks on the pancreas and/or insulin resistance. The pancreas of a person with type 2 diabetes may be producing normal or even abnormally large amounts of insulin. Other forms of diabetes mellitus, such as the various forms of maturity-onset diabetes of the young, may represent some combination of insufficient insulin production and insulin resistance. Some degree of insulin resistance may also be present in a person with type 1 diabetes.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Diabetes</span> Group of endocrine diseases characterized by high blood sugar levels

Diabetes mellitus, often known simply as diabetes, is a group of common endocrine diseases characterized by sustained high blood sugar levels. Diabetes is due to either the pancreas not producing enough insulin, or the cells of the body becoming unresponsive to the hormone's effects. Classic symptoms include thirst, polyuria, weight loss, and blurred vision. If left untreated, the disease can lead to various health complications, including disorders of the cardiovascular system, eye, kidney, and nerves. Diabetes accounts for approximately 4.2 million deaths every year, with an estimated 1.5 million caused by either untreated or poorly treated diabetes.

Ileal Interposition is a Metabolic Surgery procedure, used to treat overweight diabetic patients through surgical means. First presented by the Brazilian surgeon Aureo De Paula in 1999, this technique is applied by placing ileum, which is the distal part of the small intestine, either between stomach and the proximal part of the small intestine or by placing the ileum to the proximal part of the small intestine without touching the natural connections of the stomach. There are two different versions of the operation. Sleeve gastrectomy procedure is standard for both of the versions.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">HAIR-AN syndrome</span> Medical condition

The HAIR-AN syndrome is a rare subtype of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) characterized by hyperandrogenism (HA), insulin resistance (IR) and acanthosis nigricans (AN). The symptoms of the HAIR-AN syndrome are largely due to severe insulin resistance, which can be secondary to blocking antibodies against the insulin receptor or genetically absent/reduced insulin receptor number/function. Insulin resistance leads to hyperinsulinemia which, in turn, leads to an excess production of androgen hormones by the ovaries. High levels of androgen hormones (hyperandrogenism) in females causes excessive hair growth, acne and irregular menstruation. Patients with both underlying mechanisms of insulin resistance may have more severe hyperandrogenism. Insulin resistance is also associated with diabetes, heart disease and excessive darkening of the skin
