Barriers to Diabetes Control

NHANES: Achieving ADA
Recommendations, 2003-2006
• Individuals reaching glycemic control targets:
• HbA1c <7%
57.1%
• Individuals achieving other ADA goals of therapy:
• BP <130/80 mm Hg
45.5%
• LDL <100 mg/dL
46.5%
• Only 12.2% of individuals met all 3 goals
Abbreviations: BP, blood pressure; HbA1c, glycosylated hemoglobin; LDL, low-density lipoprotein;

Treatment Algorithm for Type 2 Diabetes
STEP 1
At diagnosis:
Lifestyle + Metformin
HbA1c >7.0%
STEP 2
Add basal
insulin
STEP 3
Add
sulfonylurea
Add DPP-4
inhibitor
Add GLP-1
agonist
Add
pioglitazone
Intensive insulin
NOT glyburide, chlorpropamide
NOT rosiglitazone
Abbreviations: DPP-4, dipeptidyl peptidase-4; GLP-1, glucagon-like peptide

Combination Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes:
Decision Considerations
 HbA1c efficacy
 Reductions from baseline
 Reaching target
 Synergy of mechanisms of action
 Side effects and toxicity profile
 Frequency and severity of hypoglycemia
 Effect on weight gain
 Avoiding polypharmacy and complex
regimens
 Compliance and convenience
 Cost

Earlier and More Aggressive Intervention May Improve
Treating to Target Compared With Conventional Therapy
 Typical progression is to wait for HbA1c to reach 8–9%
before moving to next step
Monotherapy
Uptitrate dose of
monotherapy
Add 2nd and then
3rd drug
Moving more aggressively
to more potent treatment can
achieve goal of HbA1c
of < 7% more quickly
Add basal insulin
then multiple
insulin injections
per day

Barriers to Insulin Therapy: Common Concerns
Insulin therapy might cause:
• Worsening insulin resistance
– But reduction of glucose toxicity improves resistance
• More cardiovascular risk
– But reduction in glucose improves cardiovascular risk
• Weight gain
– Yes, it does occur with improved metabolic efficiency
• Hypoglycemia
– Very rare with type 2 diabetes
– Common with type 1 diabetes as approaching optimum
glycemic control

Challenges and Opportunities in Minority
Populations
•
•
•
•
•
•
Rapidly growing populations
High rates of type 2 diabetes and its complications
Groups with unique culture, health beliefs, myths,
and food preferences
Diverse level of education and socio-economic status
Insufficient culturally oriented diabetes care, education,
and research programs
Health care system and health professional barriers
Cultural competency is key to approaching patients in a
beneficial way

Why We Cannot Always Extrapolate to
Older Adults with Diabetes
• Heterogeneity
• Comorbid conditions
– Functional limitations
– Cognitive decline
• Polypharmacy
• Life expectancy versus
– Time to incidence or progression of microvascular
or macrovascular complications
– Time to expected benefit of intervention
