Biguanide
• Agent in Class: Metformin
• Mechanism of action: poorly understood, but its primary
effect is to reduce hepatic glucose production in the presence
of insulin
• Efficacy: lowers A1C by 1 to 2%, maximum effective dose is 2
grams/d
• Major advantages:
– Lack of weight gain or modest weight loss
– Absence of or infrequent hypoglycemia

Adjustment of Therapy: Diabetes Care, Vol 31(12):1-11 2008

Biguanide
• Adverse effects mainly GI: abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and
diarrhea (minimize by slow titration)
• Contraindication: renal dysfunction, Cr >1.5 mg/dL in men and Cr
> 1.4 mg/dL in women
• Avoid in patients with hepatic dysfunction, CHF, metabolic
acidosis, dehydration, and alcoholism
• Available combinations with sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones,
repaglinide, and sitagliptin

Initiation and Adjustment of Therapy: Diabetes Care, 31(12):10-11, 2008
6
Secretagogues: Sulfonylureas
• Agents in Class: Glipizide, Glyburide, and Glimepiride
• Mechanism of action: increase insulin secretion from pancreatic
beta cells
• Efficacy: lower A1C by 1-2%; glucose-lowering effect usually
plateaus at one half of the maximum recommended dose
• Nonglycemic effects: weight gain is common
• Major Advantages:
– Long track record of safety
– Low price of generic preps

Initiation and Adjustment of Therapy: Diabetes Care, 31(12):10-11, 2008
7
Secretagogues: Sulfonylureas
• Adverse effect: mainly hypoglycemia, which can be prolonged and
more frequent in elderly or with impaired renal function (glipizide and
glimepiride may be preferred in elderly patient)
• Avoid in hepatic and renal impairment
• Available combinations with metformin, both thiazolidinediones, and
acarbose

Initiation and Adjustment of Therapy: Diabetes Care, 31(12):10-11, 2008
8
Secretagogues: Glinides
• Agents in Class: Nateglinide, Repaglinide
• Mechanism of action: stimulate a rapid but short-lived
release of insulin that lasts for 1-2 hours, therefore should
be used to target postprandial glucose levels
• Efficacy: similar to SU’s for repaglinide; nateglinide is less
efficacious in A1C lowering (0.5-0.8%)
• Nonglycemic effect: weight gain similar to SU

Initiation and Adjustment of Therapy: Diabetes Care, 31(12):10-11, 2008
9
Secretagogues: Glinides
• Adverse effect:
– Much less hypoglycemia than SU
– Many drug-drug interactions. Most concerning is gemfibrozil
which increases repaglinide concentration and may result in
prolonged lows.
• Used with caution in patients with hepatic impairment
• Nateglinide is renally cleared, whereas this is minimal for
repaglinide latter can be used with renal impairment
• Available combination: repaglinide with metformin

Initiation and Adjustment of Therapy: Diabetes Care, 31(12):10-11, 2008
10
Thiazolidinediones
• Agents in class: Pioglitazone, Rosiglitazone
• Mechanism of action: Enhancing peripheral insulin sensitivity,
especially at the muscle and adipose tissue, via activation of
PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma).
• Efficacy: lower A1C 0.8 to 1.5% (decrease in glucose may not
be apparent for 4 weeks and maximum efficacy of dose may
not be observed for 4-6 months)
• Nonglycemic effects:
– weight gain
– enhances fibrinolysis
- modestly reduce blood pressure
- improve endothelial dysfunction

Initiation and Adjustment of Therapy: Diabetes Care, 31(12):10-11, 2008
11
Thiazolidinediones
• Major advantages:
– absence of hypoglycemia when used as monotherapy
– no reliance on renal excretion.
• Adverse effects: weight gain, edema, anemia, and peripheral fractures
in women
• Contraindications: should not be used in patients with CHF (New York
Heart Association class III or IV cardiac disease and functional
capacity) or hepatic impairment with ALT > 2.5 times the upper normal
limits
• Available combinations with metformin and sulfonylurea

Initiation and Adjustment of Therapy: Diabetes Care, 31(12):10-11, 2008
12
Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors
• Agents in Class: Acarbose, Miglitol
• Mechanisms of action: decrease the rate of digestion for
polysaccharides in the proximal small intestine, primarily lowering
postprandial glucose levels
• Efficacy: lower A1C by 0.5 to 1.0%
• Adverse effects: flatulence, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort
(minimize by slow titration).
• Available combination with sulfonylurea

Initiation and Adjustment of Therapy: Diabetes Care, 31(12):10-11, 2008
13
Dipeptidyl-Peptidase 4 Inhibitors
• Agent in Class: Sitagliptin, Saxagliptin
• Mechanism of action:
– slows the inactivation of incretin hormones (glucagonlike peptide 1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic
polypeptide)
 Increases glucose-stimulated insulin secretion
 Causes glucose-stimulated glucagon suppression
– primarily lowers postprandial glucose levels but has
also been shown to reduce fasting plasma glucose

Inhibition of DPP-IV Increases Active Portal
GLP-1 and GIP
• DPP-IV inhibitors exhibit
both short term and long
term actions of GLP-1
T ½=1-2mins
– Augment glucose induced
insulin secretion
– Inhibit glucagon secretion
– Slow gastric emptying
– Increase insulin biosynthesis
– Promote beta cell
differentiation
15
Dipeptidyl-Peptidase 4 Inhibitors
• Efficacy: Lower HbA1C by 0.8%
• Nonglycemic effect: weight neutral
• Adverse effects: well tolerated, no hypoglycemia when used as
monotherapy. More recently reported to be associated with
pancreatitis, ?causative?
• Available combination with metformin

Time From Randomization (Years)
*Conventional therapy defined as dietary advice given at 3-month intervals where FPG was targeted at best levels feasible in clinical
practice. If FPG exceeded 270 mg/dL, then patients were re-randomized to receive non-intensive metformin, chlorpropamide,
glibenclamide, or insulin. If FPG exceeded 270 mg/dL again, then those on SU would have metformin added. If FPG exceeded
270 mg/dL after this, then insulin was substituted.

Clinical Considerations
• Combining therapeutic agents with different modes of action
may be advantageous
• Use of insulin sensitizers such as metformin and /or
thiazolidinediones as part of the therapeutic regimen in most
patients unless contraindicated or intolerance to these agents
has been demonstrated
• Metformin, thiazolidinediones, and incretin mimetics do not
cause hypoglycemia: when used in combination with
secretagogues or insulin, these medications may need to be
adjusted as blood glucose levels declined
AACE Diabetes Mellitus Guidelines, Endocr Pract. 2007; 13 (suppl 1) 2007
43
Clinical Considerations
• The weight gain associated with thiazolidinediones
in some patient may be partly offset by combination
therapy with metformin
• Carefully assess postprandial glucose levels if the
A1C level is elevated and preprandial blood glucose
measurements are at target levels
• INDIVIDUALIZE TREATMENT REGIMENS!
