Type 2 Diabetes Update For 2015 Jerry Meece, RPh, CDE, FACA, FAADE Plaza Pharmacy and Wellness Center jmeece12@cooke.net Learning Objectives At the conclusion of this presentation, the participant will be able to: 1. Review the role of 6 new drugs to treat Type 2 diabetes 2. Describe the mechanism of action the newest medications on the market for managing diabetes 3. List 4 indications, contraindications and precautions for 3 new classes of diabetes medications Challenges in Type 2 Diabetes Why The Need For More Drugs? Large number of patients Diabetes --25.8 million people PREDIABETES 79 million people Weight gain (2 to 10 lbs) Progressive worsening of disease ( ability to secrete insulin) (Need to add more drugs) Controlling fasting and postprandial glucose Glucose fluctuations (variability) CDC 2010. National Diabetes Fact Sheet. US Department of Health and Human Services. Cefalu, WT. Am J Med. 2012;343(1):21-26. Diabetes: Here and Now Presentation downloaded from: http://ce.unthsc.edu 1
A Few More Reasons Managing complications and co-morbidities (balloon theory) Durability--sustaining optimal long-term glycemic control Hypoglycemia (Do we take it serious enough?) Durability How long does a oral med work? How do we know when it stops working? Variability: More Harm Than We Thought? Several studies to back up theory Needs more studies 2
Ideal Diabetes Drug No hypoglycemia No weight gain Well tolerated Good A1C lowering ability Given orally q d Helps with lipid profile and BP Low cost How Do We Choose A Drug What are the patient s glycemic goals? How far are they from these goals? What is their current diabetes regimen and/or what have they taken in the past? How long have they had diabetes? What is the principal problem? Fasting or postprandial Is there unacceptable risk from hypoglycemia Non glycemiceffects:cv,weight,lipids,bloodpressure Contraindications, special populations, comorbidities, etc. Cost What Is FDA Looking For In Approving A New Diabetes Medication? Low Incidence of Hypoglycemia Low CV risks Possible CV improvement 3
Hypoglycemia and Mortality Self-report or admission to ED for severe hypoglycemia is associated with 3.4-fold increased risk of death.
