13 Cost of Diabetes Total costs of diagnosed diabetes - 41% increase in 5 years $245 billion $174 billion Medical expenditures for people with diabetes 2.3 times higher The primary driver is increasing prevalence of diabetes Diabetes drugs and supplies account for 12% expenditures California has largest population with diabetes and highest costs - at $27.6 billion.

14 Treatment Strategies Standards of Care Novel Delivery Systems What Works, What Doesn t

15 The Standards of Care 2013

16 Guidelines for Glycemic, BP, & Lipid Control HbA1C Preprandial glucose Postprandial glucose Blood pressure American Diabetes Assoc. Goals < 7.0% (individualization the new concept) Control Your mg/dl ABCs of Diabetes < 180 mg/dl < 130/80 mmhg Lipids HDL = high-density lipoprotein; LDL = low-density lipoprotein; PG = plasma glucose; TG = triglycerides. LDL: < 100 mg/dl < 70 mg/dl (with overt CVD) HDL: > 40 mg/dl > 50 mg/dl TG: < 150 mg/dl ADA. Diabetes Care. 2012;35:S11-63

17 The Cardio Protective Bundle Unless contraindicated, a statin and ACE-inhibitor bundled therapy should be prescribed to patients who: Have suffered a heart attack or stroke Are high risk for heart attacks and strokes or Have diabetes & over age 55 (therefore more than twice as likely to have a cardiovascular event). Aspirin should be used as secondary prevention for all patients who have had a heart attack or stroke unless contraindicated. Take-Away Points The use of a cardioprotective bundle delivered via a simplified regimen fixed doses of generic medications and minimal outpatient visits, laboratory testing, and dosage titration to a high-risk population. Exposure to the bundle over 2 years reduced the risk of hospitalization for myocardial infarction or stroke in the following year.

19 ADA-EASD Position Statement: Management of Hyperglycemia in T2DM: A Patient-Centered Approach Gauge patient s preferred level of involvement. Explore, where possible, therapeutic choices. Utilize decision aids. Patient-Centered Approach...providing care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values - ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions. Shared decision making final decisions re: lifestyle choices ultimately lies with the patient. Is this really going to be done? Physicians need Training Diabetes Care, Diabetologia. 19 April 2012 [Epub ahead of print]

20 ADA-EASD Position Statement: Management of Hyperglycemia in T2DM ANTI-HYPERGLYCEMIC THERAPY Therapeutic options: 11 classes of drugs -Metformin - Sulfonylureas - Thiazolidinediones - DPP-4 inhibitors - GLP-1 receptor agonists -Insulin multiple forms - Meglitinides -α-glucosidase inhibitors - Bile acid sequestrants - Dopamine-2 agonists - Amylin mimetics Diabetes Care, Diabetologia. 19 April 2012 [Epub ahead of print]

21 Diabetes Care, Diabetologia. 19 April 2012 [Epub ahead of print]

22 ADA-EASD Position Statement: Management of Hyperglycemia in T2DM KEY POINTS Glycemic targets & BG-lowering therapies must be individualized. Diet, exercise, & education: foundation of T2DM therapy Unless contraindicated, metformin = optimal 1st-line drug. After metformin, data are limited. Combination therapy with 1-2 other oral / injectable agents is reasonable; minimize side effects. Ultimately, many patients will require insulin, alone or in combination with other agents. All treatment decisions should be made in conjunction with the patient (focus on preferences, needs & values.) Comprehensive CV risk reduction - a major focus of therapy.

23 What Works Lifestyle interventions have proven benefit Must be paid for, made accessible, In person, in groups, on-line, culturally sensitive, for all health literacy levels What Doesn t work DPP, LookAhead as basis proven models Business as Usual Intervening at teachable moments Pregnancy, complication scare, at diagnosis Extending care into the community Promatoras, church groups, etc, targeting communities

38 Conclusions from 28 DPP studies 4% Average weight loss at 12 months Change in weight similar whether the intervention delivered by clinically trained professionals or lay educators. With every additional lifestyle session attended, weight loss increased by 0.26 percentage point. Costs associated with diabetes prevention can be lowered without sacrificing effectiveness, using nonmedical personnel and motivating higher attendance at program sessions.
