Objectives
• Assess knowledge of usual diabetes
medications
• Implement proper medication use per
guideline management
• Improve knowledge of side effects and
contraindications of diabetes medications
Diabetes Mellitus
• Type 1: Usually younger, insulin at
diagnosis
• Type 2: Usually older, often oral agents at
diagnosis
• Type “1.5” (Latent Autoimmune),
mixed features
• Gestational: Diabetes of Pregnancy
U.S. Prevalence of Diabetes 2010
• Diagnosed: 26 million people—8.3%
of population (90%+ have Type 2)
• Undiagnosed: 7 million people
• 79 million people have pre-diabetes

Diabetes Medications
Diabetes Medications
• Many new medications in last decade
• Three main categories
– Oral agents (pills)- many different kinds old and new
– Insulin- newer, more modern insulins
– Newer, non-insulin injectable medications
• Choices allow individualization of treatment plan
• Different medications, different indications,
different situations

Reinforce lifestyle interventions at every visit and check A1C every 3 months until A1C is <7% and
then at least every 6 months. The interventions should be changed if A1C is ≥7%.

Key Points of
Medication Selection in Type 2
• Metformin at diagnosis unless a
contraindication
• Second line agents- basal insulin or many
other meds
Oral Diabetes Medications
Sulfonylureas
• Oldest oral medications
• Stimulate pancreas to secret more insulin
• Effective, inexpensive
• Glyburide, Glipizide, Glimiperide
Caveats with Sulfonylureas
•
•
•
•
•
•
Hypoglycemia (particularly in elderly)
Premature B-cell exhaustion?
Caution in liver disease, renal disease
Weight gain
Rash
Avoid if anaphylactic to sulfa
Metformin
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Improves insulin resistance
Reduced Hepatic Glucose production
Effective, inexpensive
Extremely low incidence of hypoglycemia
Weight neutral or weight loss
Positive effects on lipid profiles
Long term use may result in better CVD
outcomes
• Can be combined with virtually all other DM
meds
Caveats with Metformin
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Liver Disease
Renal Disease
GI upset
Heavy Alcohol Use
Intravascular Dye Studies (IVP, Angio,etc)
CHF
Not for persons over 80
Can result in B12 deficiency
Thiazolidinediones (TZD’s)
• Pioglitazone (Actos)
• Rosiglitazone (Avandia)
• Improves insulin resistance
• Extremely low incidence of hypoglycemia
Caveats with TZD’s
•
•
•
•
•
CHF (or if hx/risk?)
Patients already dealing with edema
Potential weight gain
Renal disease-fluid overload
Current TZD’s rare liver disease, not
recommended in active liver disease
• Heart disease risk?
(Rosiglitazone-new restrictions)
Gliptins(DPP-IV)
• DPP-IV inhibitors
• Sitagliptin (Januvia)
• Saxagliptin (Onglyza)
• Oral agents
• Weight neutral or weight loss
• Can use with Metformin, Sulfonylurea, TZD, or
insulin (sitagliptin)
Gliptins’ Caveats, Benefits
Caveats:
• Hypoglycemia if used with sulfonyurea or
insulin
• Nausea, rash
Benefits:
Few drug interactions; can be renally dosed
“Niche” Drugs
• Colesevelam (Welchol)
- adjunct to lower A1c and LDL
- limited efficacy, cost
• Repaglinide (Prandin), Nateglinide (Starlix)
- may replace SU if sulfa allergy
- Prandin may be useful in CKD
• Acarbose (Precose), Miglitol (Glyset)
- limited efficacy, GI intolerance, cost
• Bromocriptine (Cycloset)
- limited efficacy? Will be marketed
• Salsalate
-older NSAID, may lower blood sugar,
no indication yet
Non-Insulin Injectable
Medications
Glucagon-like Peptide-1
(GLP-1)
•
•
•
•
•
•
Gut hormone
Stimulates pancreas to secret insulin
Suppresses glucagon action
Many target organs
Weight regulation
Caution in renal or hepatic impairment
GLP-1
•
•
•
•
•
Exenatide (Byetta) GLP-1 mimetic
Liraglutide (Victoza) GLP-1 analog
Both available in pen injectors (easy)
Modest weight loss
Combined with other agents except
DPP-IV inhibitors or insulin (exenatide has
basal insulin data)
GLP-1 Caveats
• Nausea, vomiting
• Pancreatitis
• Medullary thyroid carcinoma in rodents
(liraglutide)
• Hypoglycemia combined with sulfonyurea
Pramlintide-Synthetic Amylin
(Symlin)
• Amylin secreted by normal pancreas along
with insulin to regulate blood glucose
• Enhances Postprandial control. Used in
Type 1 and Type 2 patients
• Used as adjunct to insulin
• Available in pen injector
• Possible significant hypoglycemia
Combination Drug Therapy
• Consider early if failing monotherapy
• Generally additive or synergistic effects
• Triple or quadruple non-insulin drug
therapy
-limited benefit in many
-safe for many
• Insulin is often a better,more potent choice
Insulin Therapies
Insulin Therapy
• All Type 1 patients at diagnosis
• All type 2 patients will require insulin if
they live long enough
-7 to 10 years post diagnosis
-A1C >9%

Insulin Therapy
• Modern insulins safer and
more predictable
• Most insulin types come in pen
injectors
• Pen injectors easy to use, to teach,
less cumbersome than vials/syringes
Rapid Acting Insulin
•
•
•
•
Aspart (Novolog)
Lispro (Humalog)
Glulisine (Apidra)
(Human Regular)
• Taken with meals and snacks
• “Bolus” insulin
Long-Acting Insulin
• Detemir (Levemir)
• Glargine (Lantus)
• Human NPH (N)
• Taken 1 or 2 times daily
• “Basal” insulin

Basal Insulin in Type 2 Diabetes
•
•
•
•
•
•
Glargine (Lantus), Detemir (Levemir)
Good, potent add-on for improved A1C
Second line agent for many patients
A1C >9, diabetes longer than 5 to 7 years
AACE: ? Weight benefit with Detemir
Pen injectors easy
Basal Insulin in Type 2 Diabetes
• Some oral meds may be continued
-metformin, maybe TZD, maybe SU,
maybe gliptin (sitagliptin)
• Glargine (Lantus) or Detemir (Levemir)
started at 10 units at HS
• Increase 3 units every 3 to 5 days until
fasting blood sugars <110 (or <140)
• Most type 2 on 50-80+ units/day

Type 2 Diabetes

Adding Bolus Insulin in
Type 2 Diabetes
• 1 injection basal/1 injection bolus
good 2 injection programbetter than split basal
• 90/10 rule (90% basal, 10% bolus)
• Start with largest meal of the day
• Add other meal doses later
• Usually stop TZD, always stop SU
• Easy with pens
Premix Insulins
• 70/30, 75/25, 50/50
• Combine R or rapid acting with NPH or an
“NPH-like” component
• Certain applications may be appropriate
• Limitation: change 2 insulins at once
Case Studies
Case #1
• 42 y/o Hispanic female with hx of GDM 6
years ago, term 10 lb 5 oz male infant
• Not seen for follow-up in 3 years
• FBS done at annual pap/px is 149
Does this patient have type 2 diabetes?
What next?
Case #1
• Diagnosis of diabetes generally requires
two abnormal values
• Patient at high risk for type 2
• GDM is a pre-diabetes condition
Repeat FBS three days later…….
Case #1
• Repeat FBS
135
• Dx: type 2 diabetes (FBS >126 on two
separate occasions)
• What should be done next for this patient?
Case #1
• Patient had tubal ligation after last delivery
• Start metformin 500mg BID, advance to
850-1000 mg BID
• Most newly-diagnosed patients should
start metformin (current ADA
recommendation)
Case #1
• Diabetes Educator and Dietician
• SBGM with appropriate targets
• Check fasting lipids, monitor Blood
Pressure
Case Study#2
• 54 y/o white male
• Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes after 2
fasting blood sugars of 154 and 142
• Also has high blood pressure and
cholesterol disease (common in type 2)
Case Study #2
• Metformin 500 mg prescribed twice daily,
titrated to 1000mg BID
• ASA 81 mg daily
• Referred to Diabetes Educator and
Dietician for meal planning
• Recommend developing graduated
exercise plan (exercise prescription)
• Six months after diagnosis, A1C = 6.8%
(target <7%)
Case Study #2
• Three years later, patient’s A1C has risen
to 8.4% (target <7%)
• Blood pressure and cholesterol effectively
treated
• Now what?
Case Study #2
• Choices include
– Adding a basal insulin once daily
– Adding any other oral agent
– Adding exenatide twice daily or liraglutide
once daily
• Any of these are good choices
• Choice may be made on individual factors
Case Study #2
• Patient chose additional oral agent
(sitagliptin), but others would be OK
• A1C:
 6 months later = 7.4% (target <7%)
 3 years later = 8.1% (target <7%)
Now what?
Case Study #2
• Sitgliptin, metformin continued
• Basal insulin started with titration
• Eventually added bolus insulin with largest
meal (90/10 rule)
• Likely will add bolus with other meals
over time

Summary
•
•
•
•
Diabetes is common
Understand Medications and Indications

nearly all will need insulin eventually
