The Relationship

Between Alzheimer’s

Disease and Diabetes

Mellitus

Over the recent years, there are increasing

evidences supporting a possible connection be-

tween Alzheimer's disease (AD) and diabetes

mellitus (DM). It was repor ted that a diabetic

patient has a greater incidence of cognitive decline

and an increased risk of acquiring all types of de-

mentia including AD.1,2,3 Generally, DM is charac-

terized by impairment in insulin actions and sig-

naling which leads to chronic hyperglycemia. DM

can be further categorized into Type 1 (T1DM)

and Type 2 (T2DM). T2DM is caused by insulin

resistance in peripheral tissues which subsequently

result in hyperglycemia.1,4 Conversely, T1DM is

caused by destruction of pancreatic islet beta cells

and attendant insulin deficiency.4 De la Monte pro-

posed AD as Type 3 DM, whereby AD may repre-

sent a form of diabetes that selectively involves the

brain and has both molecular and biochemical fea-

tures that overlap with both T1DM and T2DM.4

AD is a neurodegenerative disorder, in which the

exact pathological defects are still not clear but

most studies have suggested that the deposits of

amyloid-beta peptide formed from abnormal pro-

cessing of amyloid-beta precursor protein (amyloid

cascade hypothesis), may initiate and contribute to

the pathogenesis of AD.1,2

Introduction

The Rotterdam Study reported that DM al-

most doubled the risk of dementia and AD. This

study consisted of 6370 elderly subjects, followed

up for 2.1 years and 126 patients developed de-

mentia with 89 of them had AD.5 The

Kungsholmen study conducted in Sweden reported

that DM increased the risk of dementia (260 AD

and 49 vascular dementia cases) in 1301 very old

people (aged ≥75 years).7

Besides that, a systematic review of 14

studies found that the incidence of ‘any dementia’

was greater in diabetic subjects than in non-

diabetic subjects in majority studies.6 Another lon-

gitudinal cohort study involving 824 subjects up to

9 years, found that patients with DM had a 65%

higher risk of developing AD than those without

DM.8 In addition, a 2008 Swedish study also that

reported that men who develop T2DM in midlife

has significant increased risk of developing AD.9

In 2014, a nationwide population based co-

hort study conducted by Huang CC et al. in Tai-

wan found that newly diagnosed diabetic patients

was associated with greater risk of future AD de-

velopment compared to non-diabetic subjects over

a maximum 11 years of follow up. This study in-

cluded a total of 71,433 patients with newly diag-

nosed diabetes and another group of non-diabetic

subjects as non-exposure control after matching

using propensity score. There were 68,462 T2DM

patients and 2791 T1DM patients.

Epidemiological evidences

This study reported that both T1DM (hazard ratio,

1.89; 95% CI: 1.23–2.89, p= 0.004) and T2DM

(hazard ratio, 1.57; 95% CI: 1.34–1.85, p=0.001)

increased the risk of AD. This study also showed

that those with DM had significantly higher inci-

dence of AD than non-diabetic subjects (0.48% vs

0.37%,

p=0.001) (Figure 1). Moreover, this study also

found that the risk of developing AD increased

gradually in association to longer duration of DM

since diagnosis (Figure 2).10

Figure 1: Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival free of AD events in

subjects categorized by DM.10 Figure 2: The trend of incidence of AD according to the duration

of DM.10

Pathophysiological link Many recent studies have focused on the role of

insulin as possible link between AD and T2DM.1There

is a rapid growth in the literature pointing toward insu-

lin deficiency and insulin resistance as mediators of

AD.4Insulin has significant neurotrophic properties in

the brain and crosses blood brain barrier (BBB) through

insulin receptors mainly located in areas of brain re-

sponsible for cognitive function (the hippocampus, en-

torhinal cortex and frontal areas) .1,3 Insulin activates

signaling pathway associated with long term memory

and learning.2,3 According to de la Monte, insulin also

helps to regulate processes such as neuronal survival,

energy metabolism, and plasticity which are required

for learning and memory.4

In diabetic patient, due to insulin resistance and

hyperinsulinemia, insulin levels in the brain are initially

elevated and then down-regulated.10 Initial elevated

insulin concentrations in the brain interfere with β-

amyloid peptides clearance by competing for insulin

degrading enzyme (IDE) as both are degraded by IDE.

However, IDE is more selective for insulin than for β-

amyloid peptides, thus brain hyperinsulinemia may de-

prive β-amyloid peptides of its main clearance mecha-

nism, accumulate in the brain and subsequently result

in neurotoxic effects.1,3

Furthermore, insulin also modulates -amyloid

peptides metabolism by regulating expression of the

IDE.10 At chronic state of hyperinsulinemia, insulin

receptors at the BBB are down-regulated, and thus

transport of insulin into the brain decreased resulting in

low levels.1,3 Low insulin levels in the brain may reduce

IDE in brain and thereby reduce -amyloid peptide

clearance. The aggregation of beta amyloid peptides is a

fundamental neuropathological hallmark of AD.10

Moreover, insulin is also involved in the synthesis of

acetylcholine (Ach) by stimulating the expression of

choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). Therefore, low insu-

lin levels and insulin resistance may reduce Ach levels,

which represents a possible chemical link between AD

and DM.1,2,3

In a nutshell, current evidences available sug-

gest a possible association between AD and DM.1,2,3,10

However, those findings are not without controver-

sy.11,12 Hence, further study is still warranted to prove

the existence or the extent of a connection between DM

and AD das well as to clarify the mechanistic link and

to provide a clearer pathophysiological link.1,2

DIPEPTIDYL PEPTIDASE-4 (DPP-4) INHIBITORS:

RISK OF SEVERE JOINT PAIN

Overview

DPP-4 inhibitors group is one of the oral antidiabetic drugs that are used in the pharmaco-

logical therapy of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It acts by prolonging the half-life of endoge-

nously produced glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). It then reduces the inappropriately ele-

vated post-prandial glucagon and stimulate glucose-dependent insulin secretion. The aver-

age reduction in HbA1c is approximately 0.7% to 1% at maximum dose.13

Safety Issue

In August 2015, United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) announced that DPP

-4 inhibitors may cause joint pain that can be severe and disabling. The FDA Adverse Event

Reporting System database identified 33 cases of severe arthralgia reported with the use

of DPP-4 inhibitors between October 2006 to December 2013.

All 33 patients experienced arthralgia that impaired their level of activity, including 10 pa-

tients who were hospitalized due to disabling joint pain. Onset of the joint pain symptoms

may start from day one to years after initial consumption of DPP-4 inhibitors. Symptoms

usually resolve in less than a month upon drug discontinuation. However, when patients

are restarted on a similar medication or an alternate DPP-4 inhibitor, a few of them en-

counter a repeat of manifestations.14

Local Scenario

In Malaysia, the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) has received 291 re-

ports with 461 adverse events suspected to be associated with DPP-4 inhibitors.15 The ad-

verse events reported were mostly mild, such as rash, nausea, itching, diarrhea and head-

ache. There are three cases related to joint pain involving sitagliptin:-

A 45-year old male experienced lethargy, joint pain and fever-like feeling with chills

after taking the drug. He was unable to work throughout the day but recouped after

discontinuation of the drug.

The other two reports involved women aged 70 and 72 years respectively. Both doses

were 10 mg daily and were claimed to experience joint pain and body ache. Therapy

was continued despite of suspected adverse events and no further information was

provided by the reporter.

HIGH RISK INFANTS

High risk infants will be frequently screened for asympto-matic hypoglycemia. 19

To date, no study has shown that asymptomatic hypoglyce-mia will benefit from treatment whereby frequent feeding and repeated glucose measurements is the current standard treatment. 19,22

Continuous IV dextrose infusion may be indicated if hypogly-cemia persists despite frequent milk feeding. 19,22

Investigational new approach for treatment of asymptomatic hypoglycemia: Buccal 40% dextrose gel (200mg/kg massaged into infant’s dried buccal mucosal) is recommended as first-line agent to manage hypoglycemia in late preterm and term babies within 48 h after birth. 19

Neonatal Hypoglycemia INTRODUCTION

Hypoglycemia definitions and threshold for treat-ment remain controversial with little data to sup-port a definitive breakpoint for serum glucose level (SGL). 18,19,20

At current, there is no established consensus defi-nition or treatment strategy for neonatal hypogly-cemia.20

However, it is widely accepted among clinicians that hypoglycemia is defined as < 2.6 mmol/L, re-quiring intervention.18,19,21,22

It is vital to distinguish between transitional neona-tal glucose regulation in normal newborns and persistent hypoglycemia to avoid serious conse-quences such as seizures and permanent brain injury.23

Persistent hypoglycemia is often caused by congen-ital or genetic defect in regulating secretion of in-sulin, deficiency of cortisol and/or growth hor-mone, or defects in the metabolism of glucose, glycogen and fatty acids.23

Treatment goals are to prevent poor neurodevel-opmental outcomes and to encourage normal feeding behavior.18

SYMPTOMS OF HYPOGLYCEMIA23

Autonomic symptoms: adrenergic responses (eg. palpitations, tremor, anxiety); cholinergic responses (eg. sweating, hunger, paresthesia)

Neuroglycopenic symptoms: confusion, coma and seizure.

INDICATION

Useful in the management of hyopgylcemia due to hyperinsulinism associated with the following conditions:

Adults: inoperable islet cell adenoma or carci-noma or extra-pancreatic malignancy

Infants & Children: Leucine sensitivity, islet cell hyperplasia, nesidioblastosis, extra-pancreatic malignancy, islet cell adenoma or adenomatosis

DOSE

ADULT & CHILDREN

The usual daily dosage is 3 to 8 mg/kg/day divided in 2 or 3 equal doses. In certain in-stances, patients with refractory hypoglyce-mia may require higher dosages.

Ordinarily, an appropriate initial dosage is 3mg/kg/day, divided into 3 equal doses eve-ry 8 hours. Thus, an average adult would receive a starting dosage of approximately 200mg daily

INFANTS & NEWBORNS

The usual daily dosage is 8 to 15mg/kg, di-vided into 2 or 3 equal doses every 8 or 12 hours.

An appropriate starting dosage is 10mg/kg/day, divided into 3 equal doses every 8 hours

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Increase the blood glucose level by inhibiting insulin release from the -cells of the pancre-as and also to an extra-pancreatic (catecholamine-induced) effect

Decrease the excretion of sodium & water, resulting in fluid retention which may be clini-cally significant

Produces arteriolar vasodilation and decreases peripheral resistance which possibly result in anti-hypertensive effects
