National Diabetes Surveillance System available at Etiology of Type 2 Diabetes and The Importance of Glycemic Control Type 2 Diabetes Current American Diabetes Association (ADA) definition 1 : Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, resulting from a combination of resistance to insulin action and an inadequate insulin secretory response Type 2 diabetes involves two primary pathogenic processes: Progressive decline in pancreatic islet function ( ( insulin secretion and inadequately suppressed glucagon secretion) 2,3 Diminished tissue response to insulin ( insulin resistance) 2,4 1 ADA, Diabetes care. 2006;29(Suppl): S43-S48 S48 2 Weyer C, et al.

Diabetologia 1986;29:46-52 GLP-1 1 and GIP In humans, the major incretins are: Glucagon like peptidase 1 ( GLP-1) Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide ( GIP) Both GLP-1 1 and GIP increase insulin secretion Only GLP-1 1 suppresses glucagon secretion Effects on insulin and glucagon occur mainly when blood glucose levels are elevated Both GLP-1 1 and GIP are rapidly inactivated by dipeptidyk peptidase 4 ( DPP-4)

11 GLP-1 Demostrates Multiple Effects in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Improves glucose - dependent insulin secretion Decreases plasma glucagon concentration Decreases fasting and postprandial plasma glucose concentrations Lowers HbA1c Delays gastric emptying Reduces appetite and food intake Zander M, et al.

Cons: Injectable,, multiple doses, requires refrigeration ( Byetta), GI complaints Risks: acute pancreatitis,, C cell hyperplasia with long acting GLP-1 1 analogs ( caution in people with hx of medullary thyrid cancer)
