Treatment of type 2 diabetes: a stairway to heaven? Complex insulin Simple insulin Triple medication R/ Dual medication R/ Metformin Lifestyle Several drug choices: Sulphonylurea Thiazolidinediones DPP 4 inhibitors GLP1 receptor agonists SGLT2 inhibitors Do not forget, T2DM integrative approach includes: BP lowering Cholesterol lowering Weight reduction Secondary prevention NHG standaard Individualize!! Current treatment algorithms are of limited help in caring for INDIVIDUALS with T2DM 2
What patients don't like 1. Hypoglycaemia 2. Weight gain 3. Interference with normal life 4. 5. 6. Injections 7..... 21. Brussels sprouts 1 3

Metformin and SU in T2DMSummary: Metformin is a cheap BG lowering without promoting weight gain, but also without (significant) effect on CVD SU lower BG, but stimulate appetite, increase body weight, may provoke nasty hypoglycaemia, and higher CVD incidence (RR 1.26) If you want to prescribe an SU, probably gliclazide is associated with lowest incidence of hypoglycaemia Boussageon et al, PlosONE 2012; Phung et al, Diab Med 2014; Schopman et al, DMRR2014 Insulin: the best there is?? Insulin treatment in type 2 diabetes is associated with: Better glycaemic control Small improvements in dyslipidaemia Increase in body weight Hypoglycaemia but also: Heart rhythm disturbances 1 Increase in BP 2,3 Inflammation of the vascular wall 4,5 Mitogenic effects 6,7 Inflammation of adipose tissue 8 related to hypoglycaemia sodium retention obesity & insulin resistance insulin growth factor influx macrophages 1.

Each of the four treatments is compared as the glycemic control goal is varied from 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) to 8% (64 mmol/mol). Results are presented using HbA1c of 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) ( ), 7% (53 mmol/mol) ( ), and 8% (64 mmol/mol) ( ) as the glycemic control goal Zhang Y, et al. Diabetes Care 2014;37:1338 1345 Drawbacks of the UKPDS Model Only predicts 1st event of any diabetes related complications Does not allow series of events Does not incorporate morbidities, like neuropathy or foot ulceration Hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia also excluded No single allowance for other co morbid conditions, like COPD, osteo arthritis, depression. & those associated with obesity, which are predicted to be less with GLP1 RA therapy 45
