1 UPDATE ON MANAGEMENT OF TYPE 2 DIABETES NEW AND OLD TREATMENT OPTIONS Mayer B. Davidson, MD Professor of Medicine Charles Drew University & David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA CURRENT AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION GUIDELINES Frequency Goal 1. Hb A1c every 6 months if <7% goal attained; every 3 months if greater 2. LDL Cholesterol yearly or more often <100 mg/dl as necessary 3. Triglycerides yearly or more often <150mg/dl* as necessary *Once LDL cholesterol at goal, the NCEP suggests considering treatment for triglyceride concentrations >200 mg/dl if the non- HDL cholesterol is >130 mg/dl. 1

2 ELEVEN CLASSES OF DRUGS TO TREAT DIABETES Metformin Sulfonylureas Glinides α-glucosidase Inhibitors Thiazolidinediones Colesvelam (WelChol ) DPP-4 Inhibitors Incretin Agonists Pramlintide (Sodium-Glucose Transporter Inhibitor) Characteristics of Oral Antidiabetes No hypoglycemia No weight gain Favorable lipid effects Generic available Metformin (glucophage) Adverse GI effects Slow dose titration CI: renal/hepatic dysfxn alcoholism, CHF, >80yo Potential for lactic acidosis? BID/TID dosing Characteristics of Oral Antidiabetes Sulfonylureas Rapid onset of action Few adverse effects Dosing often qd Generic formulations avail Hypoglycemia Weight gain IDENTIFICATION OF TYPE 2 DIABETES All three components must be present: Minority status Obesity At least one first degree relative, i.e., parent, sibling or child, must have type 2 diabetes* *Very important criterion 2

4 Characteristics of Oral Antidiabetes Glinides (repaglinide, nateglinide) Rapid onset of action Short time to peak Short half life Enhances insulin response to meals?hypoglycemia?weight gain Freq admin Characteristics of Oral Antidiabetes α-glucosidase Inhibitors (acarbose, miglitol) Characteristics of Oral Antidiabetes Thiazolidinediones (TZD s) (Glitazones) (Rosiglitazone, Pioglitazone) No hypoglycemia* No weight gain Flatulence common Very slow dose titration Dosing three times a day Contraindications (creatinine >2 mg/dl; intestinal disorders) *If hypoglycemia occurs due to SU s, glinides or insulin, it must be treated with glucose tablets or milk (drugs do not block enzyme that breaks down lactose to glucose) No hypoglycemia Dosing once daily Renal insufficiency not a contra-indication Slow onset of action Weight gain (increased fat) Edema (fluid retention) Heart failure Decreased bone mineral density Increased fractures Expensive Effect of Glitazones as Triple Oral Therapy Characteristics of Oral Antidiabetes Colesvelam (WelChol )* Lowers LDL cholesterol Less GI side effects than other bile acid resins Raises triglycerides Some GI side effects *Other bile acid resins do not claim to lower glycemia 4

5 THE INCRETIN AXIS (µu/ml) Glucagon (pg/ml) Glucose (mg/dl) Deficient : Hypersecreted Glucagon TYPE 2 DIABETES Without Diabetes (n=14) Type 2 Diabetes (n=12) Meal Time (min) Defects in diabetes: Deficient insulin release Glucagon not suppressed (postprandially) Hyperglycemia Data from Muller WA, et al. N Engl J Med 1970; 283: Postprandial Glucagon is Excessive and Not Corrected by Exogenous IMBALANCED GLUCOSE APPEARANCE AND DISAPPEARANCE Values After Infusion Values Before Infusion One wonders if the development of a pharmacological means of suppressing glucagon to appropriate levels would not increase the effectiveness of available insulin, markedly reduce insulin requirements, and perhaps improve control of the diabetic state.
