Type 2 Diabetes.
4) Suboptimal health care system.
5) Ineffective pharmacological agents.

Conservative management of diabetes?
• It is a considerable barrier to good glycemic
control .
• Unacceptable delays in treatment.
• Maximal monotherapy dose may not an optimal
dose.
• Proactive management of glycemia : early
combination approach.
• Traditional stepwise approach is not a
conservative treatment.

These are consideration in pharmacologic
treatment of Type 2 diabetes.
• Maximum dose of one pharmacological agent.
• Effective HbA1c lowering capacity.
• Mechanisms of action of drugs.
• Impact on weight gain.
• Frequency of hypoglycemia.

Considerations in Pharmacologic
Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes
• Efficacy (HbA1c lowering capacity)
• Mechanisms of action of drugs
• Impact on weight gain
• Complications/tolerability/contra-
indications
• Frequency of hypoglycemia
• Compliance/complexity of regimen
• Cost
These are another barriers for good
glycemic control.
• Reluctance to prescrible new agents.
• Poor compliance.
• Inadequate monitoring of glycemia.
• Complexity of managing hyperglycemia relative to
dyslipidemia and hypertention.
• All of the above.
Barriers to goal
• Ineffective diet/exercise initiatives
• Lack of efficacy of pharmacological agents
• Conservative management
• Adverse events
• Poor compliance
• Underlying pathophysiology
• Sub-optimal healthcare systems
• How to correct conservative
treatment?
• How to correct adverse events of
drugs.
• How to improve poor compliance of
patient.
• How can we organize the
suboptimal health care systems.

What are the barriers to insulin therapy?
• Fear of injection?
• Insulin therapy linked to poor prognosis.
• Insulin leads to weight gain.
• Hypoglycemia.
• Insulin is atherogenic.
• Insulin leads to improving insulin sensitivity.
Patient Barriers to Insulin Therapy
• Fear of injections
Reality: With new needles, injections are well tolerated
• Insulin therapy linked to poor prognosis
Reality: No actual link – poor prognosis because insulin is begun very late in disease progression
• Insulin leads to weight gain
Reality: Weight gain is modest and can be minimized by regulating caloric intake and increasing physical activity
Provider Barriers to Insulin Therapy
• Hypoglycemia
Reality: Rare in patients with type 2 and manageable in patients with type 1 by diet and insulin adjustment
• Insulin is atherogenic
Reality: Data do not support this concern -poorly controlled patients have increased CVD
• Worsening insulin resistance
Reality: Insulin improves insulin sensitivity by reducing glucotoxicity
Health care system barrier to insulin
therapy
• Office can not easily be setup to manage patient
on insulin.
• No diabetes team in office.
• All of the above.
• None of the above.
Health Care System
Barriers to Insulin Therapy
• Offices can not easily be set up to
manage patients on insulin
Reality: Existing systems can easily be modified to manage these patients
• No diabetes team in office
Reality: “Team” can be community resources
Canadian and American
Diabetes Associations
‘Diabetes must be prevented sooner, and diagnosed earlier.
Canadian Diabetes Association, 2003.
American Diabetes Association. Diabetes Care 2003; 26:S28–S32.
And once diagnosed, all types of diabetes must then be managed
much more aggressively’
Barriers to Sulfonylurea
• Weight gain.
• Hypoglycemia.
• Exaggerated pancreatic β-cell failure.
• Possible cardiotoxicity.
• Barriers to Sus:
• 1-Weigt gain.
• 2-hypoglycemia.
• 3-Exaggrated Pancreatic B-cell failure.
• 4-possible cardiotoxicity.
Cardiomyocytes have KATP channels in two
sites:
a) In sacrolemmal membrane.
b) In mitochondrial membrane.
Sulfonylureas differ in their relative
affinities for sacrolemmal and mitochondrial
KATP channels.
Ischemic preconditioning demonstrates
the unique ability of a sub- lethal
period of ischemia to protect the heart
from a subsequent lethal ischemic
insult.
Glimepiride:
Glimepiride has powerful affinity
both the pancreatic SUR1/Kire 6.2 and
myocardial SUR2/Kir6.2 similar to that of
Gb (Song and Aschroft, Br. J pharmacol, 2001,
133-139).
However, the effects of this substance on
the myocardium in animals as compared with
Gb, seem to be far more modest. Several in
vitro and in vivo studies have failed to find
any effect of glimepiride on IPC.
IPC was modeled in the cardiac
catheterization by repeated inflation of an
angioplasty balloon.
In patients receiving a placebo infusion, the
magnitude of ST-depression decreased
progressively with subsequent balloon inflation
IPC.
Following a glimepiride infusion, patients had
similar, progressive decrease in st segment depression
with subsequent balloon inflations, suggesting no
adverse effect of glimepiride on IPC. In contrast,
patients pretreated with glyburide had no change in the
magnitude of st segment depression with subsequent
balloon inflations (Klepzig et al., 1999. Eur Heart H 20: 439-
446).
