Disclosure of Commercial Support
• This program has received financial support from Merck in the form of an
educational grant.
• This program has received in-kind support from Merck in the form of a
modest meal and logistical support.
• Potential for conflict(s) of interest:
– Dr. xyz have received an honorarium from Merck.
– Merck markets products from classes of medication that will be discussed in
this program: Ezetinibe (Ezetrol), Olmesartan (Olmetec) and Sitagliptin
(Januvia).

Mitigating Potential Bias
• The information presented in this CME program is
based on recent information that is explicitly
‘‘evidence-based’’.
• This CME Program and its material is peer reviewed
and all the recommendations involving clinical
medicine are based on evidence that is accepted
within the profession; and all scientific research
referred to, reported, or used in the CME/CPD activity
in support or justification of patient care
recommendations conforms to the generally
accepted standards.
5
Learning Objectives
• As a result of this program participants will be
able to:
– Apply time management strategies to optimize a
7–12-minute office visit
– Develop a plan of action for patients presenting
with multiple cardio-metabolic risk factors
– Assess the long-term targets of cardio-metabolic
risk factors in the diabetic population

Interactive Question:
Kicking Off the Discussion
• You only have scheduled 10 minutes with
Jackie T., what do you do first?
A.
B.
C.
D.
Address BP
Address dyslipidemia
Address hyperglycemia
Address lifestyle modifications
(diet, exercise, etc.)
E. Ask patient how he feels
8
Jackie T.
You go into the room and find Jackie looking
downcast and despondent.
You open the discussion by congratulating him on
getting his blood work completed.
He replies: “I’m not sure I need more bad news
today doc. Maybe something stronger than those
T-3’s for my back pain? Found out my son got
another impaired driving charge last week so my
heart is hurting as much as my back…”
9
Jackie T. (cont’d)
Jackie asks you what he should do about his
son’s suspected drinking problem and also
reveals that he has been taking 2 zopiclone
7.5 mg to get to sleep because of the stress he
is under.
He also reveals that he has been missing work
due to his ‘bad back’ and, furthermore,
wonders if you could look at this mole that has
been changing…

Diabetes
Without
nephropathy
1. ACE inhibitor
or ARB or
2. Thiazide diuretic
or DHP CCB
A combination of 2 first-line drugs
may be considered as initial therapy
if BP is >20 mmHg systolic or
>10 mmHg diastolic above target.
Combining an ACE inhibitor and a
DHP CCB is recommended.
>2-drug
combinations
Monitor serum potassium and creatinine carefully in patients with CKD prescribed an ACE inhibitor or ARB.
Combinations of an ACE inhibitor with an ARB are specifically not recommended in the absence of proteinuria
More than 3 drugs may be needed to reach target values for diabetic patients.
If creatinine >150 µmol/L or creatinine clearance <30 mL/min (0.5 mL/sec), a loop diuretic should be substituted for
a thiazide diuretic if control of volume is desired.
ACE = angiotensin-converting enzyme; CKD = chronic kidney disease; DHP = dihydropyridine

Assume…
Jackie has a sedentary lifestyle. His diet is
notoriously poor – he admits to having a sweet
tooth with a weakness for pretzels and beer,
which he consumes in excess the 3 nights per
week he plays snooker. He will smoke cigars
during his weekly poker game ‘with the boys’,
and occasionally through the week.

How long should lifestyle modifications
be given to have effect before
pharmacotherapy is initiated?
• CDA:
– A1C <8.5%: can start pharmacotherapy immediately
or allow 2–3 months to achieve target with
lifestyle intervention
– A1C ≥8.5% or symptomatic hyperglycemic with metabolic
decompensation: start immediately
• CCS and CHEP:
– No waiting period recommended
– Lifestyle modification recommended for all regardless of
BP/CV risk level
CCS = Canadian Cardiovascular Society; CDA = Canadian Diabetes Association

2013 CDA Guidelines for Managing
Dyslipidemia in Individuals with Diabetes
•
Measurement of lipid profile:
– At time of diagnosis of diabetes
– Yearly if lipid-lowering treatment is
not initiated
– Every 3–6 months after lipid-lowering
treatment is initiated
•
Indications for lipid-lowering therapy:
– Clinical macrovascular disease
– Age >40 years
– Age <40 years and 1 of:
• Diabetes duration >15 years and
age >30 years
• Microvascular complications
• Warrants therapy based on the
presence of other risk factors according
to 2012 CCS guidelines
•
•
•
•
Primary target: LDL-C ≤2.0 mmol/L
Additional lipid markers of CVD risk:
apoB, non-HDL-C, TC:HDL-C
1st line therapy: statin
2nd line therapy:
• Includes:
– Bile acid sequestrants
– Cholesterol absorption inhibitor
– Fibrates
– Nicotinic acid
• Should not be routinely added in
patients achieving goal LDL-C
with statin
• May be used to attain LDL-C goal in
individuals not at LDL-C target
despite statin
• For those with TG >10.0 mmol/L,
fibrate should be used to reduce risk
of pancreatitis

2013 CDA CPG Recommended
Targets for Glycemic Control
Glycemic targets must be individualized.
≤7%
7%
6.0%
A target A1C ≤6.5%
may be considered
in some patients
with type 2 diabetes
to further lower the
risk of nephropathy
and retinopathy.
>7%
Most patients
with type 1
and type 2
diabetes
8.5%
Consider if:
• Limited life expectancy
• High level of functional dependency
• Extensive vascular disease
• Multiple comorbidities
• Recurrent severe hypoglycemia
• Hypoglycemia unawareness
• Long-standing diabetes for whom it is difficult to
achieve A1C ≤7.0% despite effective doses of
multiple antihyperglycemic agents including
intensified basal-bolus insulin therapy

2013 CDA CPG Recommendations:
Algorithm for Managing Type 2 Diabetes
Initiate lifestyle intervention (physical activity and nutrition therapy) ± metformin.
A1C <8.5%
A1C ≥8.5%
Symptomatic
hyperglycemia
with metabolic
decompensation
• If not at glycemic target
after 2–3 months,
start/increase metformin
• Start metformin immediately
• Consider initial
combination with another
antihyperglycemic agent
• Initiate insulin ± metformin
If not at glycemic targets,
add an agent best suited to the
Individual based on:
Patient characteristics
• Degree of hyperglycemia
• Risk of hypoglycemia
• Overweight or obesity
• Comorbidities (renal, cardiac, hepatic)
• Preferences and access to treatment
• Other
Agent characteristics
• Blood glucose-lowering efficacy
and durability
• Risk of inducing hypoglycemia
• Effect on weight
• Contraindications and side effects
• Cost and coverage
• Other
If not at
glycemic target:
• Add another
agent from a
different class
• Add/intensify
insulin regimen
Make timely adjustments to attain target A1C within 3–6 months.

(acarbose)

DPP-4 inhibitors
GLP-1 receptor agonists
Insulin
