ASHP Financial Relationship Disclosure Statement Planners, presenters, reviewers, ASHP staff, and others with an opportunity to control CE content are required to disclose relevant financial relationships with ACCME-defined commercial interests. All actual conflicts of interest have been resolved prior to the continuing education activity taking place. ASHP will disclose financial relationship information prior to the beginning of the activity. A relevant financial relationship is a defined as a financial relationship between an individual (or spouse/partner) in control of content and a commercial interest, in any amount, in the past 12 months, and products and/or services of the commercial interest (with which they have the financial relationship) are related to the continuing education activity. An ACCME-defined commercial interest is any entity producing, marketing re-selling, or distributing healthcare goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients. The ACCME does not consider providers of clinical serve directly to patients to be commercial interests—unless the provider of clinical service is owned, or controlled by, an ACCME-defined commercial interest.

Summary: GLP‐1 Physiology

• Type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease associated with worsening β‐celldysfunction, increases in insulin resistance, and resultant hyperglycemia1

• Research conducted in the 1980s demonstrated an impaired “incretineffect” in individuals with type 2 diabetes2

• The widespread physiologic actions of incretin hormones, GIP and GLP‐1,occur in the pancreas, stomach, brain, bone, adipose tissue, liver, muscle,cardiovascular system, and central nervous system3

• Though the basic physiology of GLP‐1 effects are known, there is muchmore to learn

1. Kendall DM et al. Am J Med. 2009;122:S37‐S50; 2. Mudaliar S et al. Diabetologia. 2012;55:1865‐8;3. Baggio LL et al. Gastroenterology. 2007;132:2131‐57.

A key action of GLP‐1 is to

a. Increase glucagon secretionb. Increase insulin secretionc. Decrease GIP secretiond. Decrease DPP‐4 secretion

Summary

• GLP‐1 RAs address many coreglycemic defects in patients withT2D– Low risk of hypoglycemia whenused without an SU or insulin

• GLP‐1 RAs differ in– Base molecule: exenatide or analogof human GLP‐1

– Half‐life of drug and frequency ofdosing

– Type of injection device

• Intermittent GLP‐1 RAs– A1C reductions of ‐0.6 to ~‐1.0%– Mainly PPG

• Long‐acting GLP‐1 RAs– A1C reductions of ~‐1.0 to ~‐1.7%– Mainly FPG; generally greaterweight loss than intermittentGLP‐1 RAs

Rationale for Using GLP‐1 RAs for Obesity

• GLP‐1 RAs activate GLP‐1 receptors in the brain involved in appetiteregulation and calorie intake

• Higher concentrations of GLP‐1 RAs have demonstrated substantial weightloss

GLP‐1 RAs Evaluated for Weight Loss

• Liraglutide 3 mg daily is approved for the treatment of obesity1

• Dulaglutide 3 mg and 4.5 mg have been studied for patients with T2D whoare overweight or obese2

• Semaglutide 2.4 mg is being studied in overweight and obese patients3

Summary• T2D is a progressive disease associated with worsening β‐cell dysfunction,

increases in insulin resistance, and resultant hyperglycemia1

• Patients with T2D are also characterized by an impaired “incretin effect”2

• The first GLP‐1 RA for the treatment of diabetes was approved in 20053– Today GLP‐1 RAs are formulated for daily or weekly SC administration, as well as daily oral

administration• CVOTs have shown that these agents reduce MACE in patients with T2D and

established CVD or multiple cardiovascular risk factors4,5,6

• GLP‐1 RAs markedly reduce body weight• GLP‐1 RAs have been studied for other effects beyond glycemia (Parkinson’s

disease and Alzheimer’s disease)7

Key Takeaways

• GLP‐1 RAs– Have physiological actions that help patients with type 2diabetes improve glycemic control

– Consider for patients who need• Weight loss• Low risk of hypoglycemia

– Consider strongly in type 2 diabetes with• High risk of CVD or current diagnosis• Renal insufficiency with albuminuria
