Glycemic Targets in Clinical Practice: Postprandial vs Preprandial and Fasting? Steven D Wittlin MD University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry Rochester, New York
In all affairs it’s a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted…… Bertrand Russell
The question is not whether to target postprandial, preprandial or fasting glycemia, but when, how, and to what goals.
UKPDS Epidemiologic Data in Type 2 DiabetesNo A1C Threshold Adjusted incidence per 1000 person-years 80% Myocardial infarction 70% Microvascular endpoints 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Updated mean A1C (%) Stratton IM, et al. BMJ. 2000;321:405-412.
What are appropriate goals? • HbA1c • FPG • 2 hr PPG • Normalization of Glycemia
What is Normal? HbA1c <6.0% FPG <100 mg/dl (5.5 mM) 1 hr PPG <162 mg/dl (9.0 mM) 2 hr PPG <126 mg/dl (7.0 mM) (N=15) Woerle HJ et al . Am J Physiol 290:E67-E77, 2006
Hyperglycemia is a continuous risk factor for CVD... Therefore normality should be the goal if it can be safely achieved
CDA: HbA1C<7% “ consider targets in the normal range for patients in whom it can be achieved safely..” ADA: “...for patients in general is an A1C<7%....for the individual patient is an A1C as close to normal (<6.0%) as possible without significant hypoglycemia..” ADA, Diabetes Care 29:S4-S42, 2006. CDA, Can J Diabetes 27:S1-S151, 2003
To achieve a normal or near normal HbA1c, both FPG and PPG levels must be normal or near normal. Thus both FPG and PPG must be targets for therapy Nevertheless, might there be situations in which it is preferable to treat one or the other first ???

Changes in Postprandial Glucose Metabolism in Type 2 DM • Use triple isotope technique and indirect calorimetry • DM pts had: • increased overall glucose release • Increased gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis • ~90% of the increased glucose release occurred in the first 90 min post-prandial • In DM glucose clearance and oxidation were reduced • Non-oxidative glycolysis was increased • Net splanchnic glucose storage was reduced ~ 45% d.t. increased glycogen cycling Woerle HJ et al Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 2006

Controlling Postprandial Glucose • Prospective trial of fasting vs pc control in 164 pts w/ Type 2 DM • Forced titration to target either FBS < 100 or 90 min pc < 140 • Results: • HbA1C fell from 8.7 % to 6.5% • Only 64% of patients achieving FPG < 100 reached HbA1C < 7% • 94% of patients w/ pc < 140 reached HbA1C < 7% • Decreased pc BG accounted nearly twice as much as FBS for fall in HbA1C • If HbA1C < 6.2% , pc accounted for ~ 90% • If HbA1C > 8.9%, pc accounted for ~ 40% Woerle HJ et al in press

So How Can We Assess Post-Prandial Glucose Control Clinically ?? • Frequent fingersticks • HbA1C • Fructosamine • Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems • Historical • Real-time • 1,5 Anhydroglucitol
Postprandial Index vs. A1C/1,5-AG Assay Ratio *Postprandial Index is the conglomerate multivariable analysis using AUC-180 and post-meal maximum glucose values as the independent variables. • A1C/1,5-AG Ratio Correlated Better than A1C or 1,5-AG independently to the Postprandial Index • Combination of 1,5-AG and A1C are more predictive of postprandial hyperglycemia Dungan K et al Diabetes Care; June 2006
Approaches/Agents That Address Postprandial Hyperglycemia • Meglitinides • Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors • Prandial Insulin • GLP-1 analogues • DPP-IV inhibitors • Pramlintide • Glycemic Index/Load

Addressing Fasting vs Postprandial First Approach Overall Goals: • HbA1c <7 • FPG <100 mg/dl (5.5 mM) • PPPG (90 min) <140 mg/dl (7.8 mM) Woerle HJ et al in press
Fix Fasting First Algorithm Step 1: If FPG >100 mg/dl (5.5 mM) : a) drug naïve, start metformin b) if on SU, add metformin c) if on SU+Met, DC SU, add HS NPH Step 2: When FPG near goal, but PPPG >140 mg/dl (7.8 mM) : a) add repaglinide with meals b) if above unsuccessful in achieving PPG goal, DC and use regular insulin with meals.
