Critical Question following the „ADA-EASD- Consensus“

• Should all patients be treated following an identical algorythm irrespective of their age, co-morbidity, beta- cell function, insulin-resistant state, and risk for hypoglycemia?

• Most likely not, since type 2 diabetes is a rather hereogenous disease

1. Patient‐Centered Approach“...providing care that is respectful of and responsive to 

individual patient preferences, needs, and values ‐ ensuring   that patient values guide all clinical decisions.”

• Gauge patient’s preferred level of involvement.

• Explore, where possible, therapeutic choices.

• Utilize decision aids.

• Shared decision making – final decisions re: lifestyle  choices ultimately lie with the patient.

Medication Adherence

Page 15: Clinical Guidelines for Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes

Why Don’t Patients Adhere to Their Medication Therapy?

Side effects

Dosing frequency

Complex regimen

Failure to explain benefits and side effects of medications

Failure of the provider to understand cost of treatment

Having a poor therapeutic relationshipwith patient

3. ANTI‐HYPERGLYCEMIC THERAPY

• Glycemic targets

- HbA1c < 7.0% (mean PG 150‐160 mg/dl [8.3‐8.9 mmol/l])

- Pre‐prandial PG <130 mg/dl (7.2 mmol/l)

- Post‐prandial PG <180 mg/dl (10.0 mmol/l)

- Individualization is key: Tighter targets (6.0 ‐ 6.5%) ‐ younger, healthier Looser targets (7.5 ‐ 8.0%+) ‐ older, comorbidities,  hypoglycemia prone, etc.

- Avoidance of hypoglycemia

•Hypoglycemia

• Emerging concerns regarding association with increased mortality

• Associated with prolonged QT and arrhythmias

• Hypoglycemia due to Insulin and sulfonylureas   represents at least 10% of ER visits for adverse drug  reactions

• Proper drug selection in the hypoglycemia prone

When Goal is to Avoid Hypoglycemia

Page 41: Clinical Guidelines for Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes

Concerns about Weight in Diabetes

• From 2007-2008 NHANES data, 32% of men and 36% of women are obese1

• Incidence of diabetes has doubled over the past 3 decades, primarily amongst obese individuals2

• In the NHANES data, the gains in life expectancy from smoking cessation are beginning to be outweighed by loss of life expectancy from obesity3

• Recent report: Increase of BMI by ≥ 1 kg/m2 after diagnosis: 63% increase CV death over 4.6 yrs4

Adding Exenatide BID to Optimized Glargine in T2DM Improves Glycemic Control Without Increasing Hypoglycemia

Incidence of hypoglycemia was similar in both groups; 1 patient in GLAR + PBO group had severe hypoglycemia

Liraglutide QD With Detemir QD Improves Glycemic Control in T2DM Over 38 Weeks

Incidence of hypoglycemia was similar in both groups; no major hypoglycemia occurred in either group

No major hypoglycemia occurred in any group during weeks 12to 38.Transient nausea occurred in 21% of patients during weeks 0 to 12, 4% of patients during weeks 12 to 38.

Decision Points for Choosing Drug Therapy

• Efficacy – BG and A1c lowering• Safety:

– Hypoglycemia risk– Side effects

• Effect on weight• CV risk factors:

– Outcome studies• Patient acceptance:

– Oral versus injected– Frequency of administration– Cost

• Desirable mechanism of action

Guidelines for Glycemic, Blood Pressure and Lipid Control

HDL = high-density lipoprotein; LDL = low-density lipoprotein; PG = plasma glucose; TG = triglycerides.

ADA. Diabetes Care. 2012;35:S11-63.

American Diabetes Association Goals

A1c < 7.0% (individualization)

Preprandial glucose 70-130 mg/dL (3.9-7.2 mmol/L)

Postprandial glucose < 180 mg/dL

Blood pressure < 130/80 mmHg

Lipids

LDL: < 100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L)

< 70 mg/dL (1.81 mmol/L) (with overt CVD)

HDL: > 40 mg/dL (1.04 mmol/L)

> 50 mg/dL (1.30 mmol/L)

TG: < 150 mg/dL (1.69 mmol/L)
