NON-PHARMACOLOGIC­MEASURES

Diabetes Self Management Training (DSMT)

Lifestyle Interventions • Ongoing Patient Education• Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)• Physical Activity• SMBG

Behavioral Health• Emotional assessment• Support Needs

Medical Nutrition Therapy

• A1c has been shown to decrease by 1% in a RCT in Type 1 Diabetics

• In Type 2, a decrease in A1c of 2% in newly diagnosed cases and 1% in cases of 4 years duration

• Most effective during the early stages after diagnosis of Type 2 when insulin resistance is the highest

• Messages on physical activity and MNT should be the most aggressive during the early stages

UKPDS:Effects of Intensive (Metformin)

Treatment*

†

Sulphonylureas

• Lower BG by increasing insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta cells

• The glucose lowering effect usually plateaus at approximately one half of the maximum recommended dose *

• Should be used cautiously in the elderly and those with hepatic or renal impairment

*Simonson et al.Diabetes care,1997;20:597-606 Stenman et al. Ann.Int.Med, 1993;118:169-172

Sulfonylureas (insulin secretagogues)

• FIRST GENERATION AGENTS- lower binding affinity to the SFU receptor and must be given in higher doses

• SECOND GENERATION AGENTS– Glucotrol­(glipizide)­ ­2.5­to­20­mg­daily­(b.i.d.)– Glucotrol­XL­(glipizide­GITS) ­2.5­to­20­mg­daily­(q.d.)– Micronase,­DiaBeta­(glyburide)­­­2.5­to­20­mg­daily­(q.d.)– Glynase­(micronized­glyburide)­­1.5­to­­­6­mg­daily­(q.d.)– Amaryl­(glimepiride­score­tabs)­­0.5­to­­­8­mg­daily­­(q.d.)

Thiazolidinediones

• Pharmacological ligands for a nuclear receptor known as the PPAR

• When activated, this receptor binds to response elements on DNA and alters transcription in various genes to regulate carbohydrate and lipid metabolism

• Through this process increase insulin stimulated glucose uptake in the skeletal muscle cells

Molecular­Targets­of­PPAR­&­PPAR­action

NEJM 2004; 351:1106-18

Thiazolidinediones

• Indicated as monotherapy and in combination with SFU, metformin & insulin

• Weight gain & edema are commonly seen when used with insulin

• Contraindicated in patients with CHF and hepatic impairment

• Additionally combining 2 sensitizers produces and additive effect*

*Einhorn et al.Clin.Ther.2000;22:1395-1409

Glinides(Nateglinide and Repaglinide)

• Rapid but short lived release of insulin that lasts 1 to 2 hours

• Attenuate post prandial glucose excursions, therefore should be used to target PP blood glucose levels

• Repaglinide (Prandin) is more potent ,is minimally cleared by the kidneys and can be used safely with severe renal impairment

Effective­GLP­1­therapies:

Exenatide (Byetta)– binds to and activates the GLP 1 receptor and resists degradation by DPP-4 (April 2005)

Sitagliptin (Januvia) – resistant to DPP-4 degradation (October 2006)

Vildagliptin – inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme (Under review by FDA)

Byetta (Exenatide)

• Indicated as an adjunctive therapy in patients withType 2 DM who are taking Metformin, SFU or a combination and TZDbut has not achieved adequate control

• Not recommended for use in patients with ESRD, severe renal impairment, or severe gastrointestinal disease and in Type 1 Diabetics

Byetta (Exenatide)

• Major side effect is nausea.

Recent FDA warning of acute pancreatitis being associated with Byetta.

• Prescribed as a subcutaneous injection given within 1 hour before the morning and evening meal

• Starting dose is 5 ug BID and can be increased to 10 ug BID

Sitagliptin (Januvia)DDP-4 inhibitor

• Monotherapy or in combination with Metformin, TZD, Glimepiride ± Metformin

• Mainly target PPG but have been shown to decrease FBG levels

• Daily recommended dose is 100mg orally once a day

• Dose adjustment is required in moderate to severe renal insufficiency

“Although insulin therapy has not traditionally been implemented early

in the course of Type 2 diabetes, there is no reason why it should not

be…”

Insulin delivery devices

OPTIONS………

1. Once daily background or basal insulin if fasting BG is elevated but glucose values remain stable during the day,

2. Once daily or twice daily pre-mixed insulin analogue, orally administered drugs may or may not be continued

3. Basal bolus therapy…..first initiate basal along with 1 bolus injection before the largest meal and eventually at each meal ,if needed

What doses to start with……..

• With HbA1c <8%, begin 0.1U/Kg body weight

• HbA1c 8-10%, start 0.2U/kg body weight

• HbA1c >10%, start 0.3U/Kg body weight

• With pre-mixes can divide the total dose by 2 if used twice a day

• With insulin glargine, adjust dose every 3-7 days until target fasting dose is reached

Bergenstal Endocrine Practice,Jan 2006

Advantages of rapid acting insulin analogs

• Restores the early insulin peak in combination with meal ingestion

• Prevents the hyperinsulinemia resulting from the late absorption of regular insulin and thereby protects against hypoglycemia

USE COMBINATION THERAPY AND GET PATIENTS TO GOAL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

COMBINATION THERAPYAACE Guidelines, Endocrine Practice, May/June 2007

• Finally, Type 2 DM is a progressive disease with worsening glycemia over time.

• Therefore, addition of medications is the rule, not the exception, if treatment goals are to be met over time.
