Discussion Points When Intensifying Pharmacotherapy
§ Tx intensification needed because diabetes is progressive, not because of patient “non-compliance.”
§ Maintaining A1C 6%-6.5% for 4-6 years after diagnosis induces metabolic memory and the legacy effect. Complications are reduced.
§ Tx options are based on disease duration. Longer duration = lower beta-cell mass and function.
§ Frequency, timing and route of administration should be clearly defined.
§ Discuss risks and benefits of all meds prescribed.
§ Excellent composite endpoint would be to achieve target A1C without weight gain or hypoglycemia.
Unger J. Diabetes Management In Primary Care. Lippincott. 2012
Factors to Guide Therapeutic Choices When A1C Not at Goal
Age If younger, durability of therapy/beta-cell impact importantIf older, safety essential
Comorbidity Risks of hypoglycemia Absolute risk of known side effect profile vs reported risk
Mechanism of action
What isn’t being treated currently? What is ineffective?
Clinical clues Acanthosis, low HDL, hypertriglyceridemia markers of insulin resistanceLeaner body weight = likelihood of beta cell dysfunction
SMBG PBG better guide than FBG when A1C <8.0%

Consequences of Delayed Intervention
At 5.3 years, increased risks:- MI 67% (95% CI: 39%,101%)- Stroke 51% (95% CI: 25%, 83%)- HF 64% (95% CI: 40%, 91%)- Composite CVE 62% (95% CI:

Add-on Therapy: What Comes After Metformin?
§ Joe was diagnosed with diabetes 1 year ago
§ He was started on metformin when his A1C was 8.0%
§ Despite “trying his hardest” at weight loss and physical activity, his weight is the same and A1C remains 7.5%
§ What factors guide you as to next steps for therapy?
§ Should Joe have started combination therapy at diagnosis? If so, what combination?

Why Not Use Insulin as Add-on Therapy?
§ Effective means of insulin-providing therapy
§ Most potent A1C reductions
§ Indicated as add-on to monotherapy when A1C above 8.5%
§ Hypoglycemia and weight gain are barriers but insulin itself does not cause weight gain metabolically
§ Bedtime NPH, basal insulin or ultralong-acting basal insulins provide varying cost options as add-on therapy, with differences in hypoglycemia and weight gain
Barriers to Multimolecular Therapy
§ Adherence
§ Hypoglycemia
§ Underutilization of combination meds
Medication Adherence in T2D
§ Medication adherence rates are ~45% among diabetics
§ ~1/3 of all initial prescriptions for glucose-lowering agents go unfilled
§ Non-adherence increases likelihood of long-term complications / negative glycemic legacy and risk of hospitalization
§ Hospitalization risk is 30% at the lowest quintile of adherence vs. 13% in highest quintile
5/24/18
13
Improving Patient Adherence§ Discussion between patients and clinicians related to
risk:benefit ratio is critical
§ Choose therapies that reduce risk of hypoglycemia and weight gain § Hypoglycemia risk increases with duration of disease
and age§ Hypoglycemia increases risk of mortality
§ Consider use of drugs that may improve CV outcomes (death from MI, nonfatal MI, stroke, CHF) and/or renal disease progression
§ Decisions that are “patient-centered” are likely to improve clinical outcomes
Garcia-Perez et al. Diabetes Ther. 2013;4:175–194
Meet Edward: A 45 y/o Man with T2D
§ 45 y/o Hispanic male with 2-year history of T2D
§ Currently on metformin 1000 mg BID
§ A1C 7.3% 1 year ago, 7.6% 3 months ago, and 8.0% today
§ Obese (BMI 33.7 kg/m2), sedentary, diet very high in carbohydrates§ Says he is unlikely to modify his lifestyle soon
§ PE: Normal except for acanthosis nigricans
§ SMBG shows average FBG 140mg/d but PBG >200mg/dL

ARS QuestionWhat Is Happening Physiologically with
Edward?1. Beta-cell function is declining
2. Metformin is not providing adequate insulin sensitivity
3. Lifestyle nonadherence is main reason for his increasing blood glucose

Recommendations for GLP-1 RA with Basal Insulin
§ GLP-1 RA may be used in combination with basal insulin in patients who do not reach glycemic target with 2-3 glucose-lowering medications1-4
§ If taking a sulfonylurea (SU), consider discontinuing or reducing the dose of SU
§ If adding GLP-1RA to basal insulin, consider reducing basal insulin dose 20% if A1C ≤8.0%§ Thereafter, adjust basal insulin dose based on self-
monitoring of blood glucose especially in first six weeks post insulin dose reduction
§ Monitor for hypoglycemia

Principles of Multimolecular Therapy§ Metformin remains foundation of therapy but is not
universally effective in all patients, especially those who are insulin deficient
§ Look for untreated mechanistic targets and add accordingly
§ Remove any medications that are not providing expected therapeutic benefit
§ Reconsider pioglitazone for the insulin-resistant patient§ Metformin is NOT the sensitizer we once thought, though very
effective in lowering glucose overall
§ Look to GLP-1 RA and SGLT-2 in insulin-deficient patients and always look to add insulin earlier instead of additional oral agents
