Diabetes mellitus: An update D. Hunt March 2010
Significance of diabetes mellitus • 5% of the population has diagnosed diabetes • prevalence increases with age: 20 - 44: 1% 45 - 65: 5% > 65: 10% • the true prevalence of diabetes is estimated to be twice the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes

UK Prospective Diabetes Study Blood glucose control reduces the risk of diabetic complications, especially microvascular complications
UK Prospective Diabetes Study • 20-year Interventional Trial from 1977 to 1997: • 5,102 patients with newly-diagnosed DM2 • Median follow-up 10.0 years, range 6 to 20 years • Results presented in 1998
Microvascular Endpoints renal failure or death, vitreous haemorrhage or photocoagulation 346 of 3867 patients (9%)
Myocardial Infarction fatal or non fatal myocardial infarction, sudden death 573 of 3867 patients (15%)
UK Prospective Diabetes Study • 20-year Interventional Trial from 1977 to 1997 • 5,102 patients with newly-diagnosed DM2 • Median follow-up 10.0 years, range 6 to 20 years • Results presented in 1998 • 10-year Post-Trial Monitoring from 1997 to 2007 • Annual follow-up of the survivor cohort • Clinic-based for first five years • Questionnaire-based for last five years • Median overall follow-up 17.0 years, range 16 to 30 years

UKPDS Conclusions • Despite an early loss of glycemic differences, a continued reduction in microvascular risk and emergent risk reductions for MI and death were observed during 10 years of post-trial follow-up
Pharmacologic Management of Type 2 Diabetes • If glycemic targets are not achieved within 2 to 3 months of lifestyle management, pharmacotherapy should be initiated. • Timely adjustments should be made to attain target A1C within 6 to 12 months. • In patients with marked hyperglycemia (A1C ≥ 9.0%), pharmacotherapy should be initiated concomitantly with lifestyle management, and consideration be given to either combination therapy or insulin.
Management of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes Clinical Assessment Lifestyle intervention (initiation of nutrition therapy and physical activity) If not at target A1C <9.0% A1C >9.0% Symptomatic with metabolic decompensation • Initiate pharmacotherapy immediately without waiting for effect from lifestyle interventions: • Consider initiating metformin concurrently with another agent from a different class or • Initiate insulin Initiate metformin Initiate insulin± metformin L I F E S T Y L E
↓ = < 1.0% decrease in A1C ↓ ↓ = 1.0–2.0% decrease in A1C ↓ ↓ ↓ = >2.0% decrease in A1C Oral agents beyond metformin
If not at target • Add another drug from a different class; or • Add bedtime basal insulin to other agent(s); or • Intensify insulin regimen Timely adjustment to and/or addition of antihyperglycemic agents should be made to attain target A1C within 6 to 12 months Canadian Diabetes Association 2008 Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Prevention and Management of Diabetes in Canada; Canadian Journal of Diabetes: 2008 Vol:32 Supplement

Insulin regimens – Type 2 DM Many different potential regimens! • Oral + hs insulin (basal) • Oral + AM insulin (basal) • Pre-mixed insulin with breakfast and supper • Short-acting with meals + bedtime basal
Aims First Phase • One-year head-to-head comparison of the efficacy of three different types of analogue insulins, when given in addition to dual oral antidiabetic therapy: • Biphasic insulin • Prandial insulin • Basal insulin
Patient Disposition 235Assigned to biphasic insulin(biphasic aspart) 239Assigned to prandial insulin(aspart) 234Assigned to basal insulin(detemir) 34 Discontinued 51Discontinued 45 Discontinued 201 (86%)Completedthree years 188 (79%)Completedthree years 189 (81%)Completedthree years • Overall, 18.4% of patients did not complete three years • No difference in proportions between groups (p=0.15) • No difference in baseline characteristics between those who completed or did not complete three years follow up
Transition to a Complex Insulin Regimen From one year onwards, if HbA1c levels were >6.5%, sulfonylurea therapy was stopped and a second type of insulin was added First Phase Second Phase Add biphasic insulin*twice a day Add prandial insulinat midday 708 T2DMon dual oral agents Add prandial insulin*three times a day Add basal insulinbefore bed R Add basal insulin*once (or twice) daily Add prandial insulin three times a day * Intensify to a complex insulin regimen in year one if unacceptable hyperglycaemia

Grade 2 or 3 Hypoglycaemia Over 3 Years Allpatients Patients withHbA1c ≤6.5%
4T trial Three quarters of patients added a second insulin Those commencing therapy with a basal or prandial insulin more often achieved glycaemic targets than patients commencing with a biphasic insulin Patients commencing therapy with basal insulin had fewer hypoglycaemic episodes and less weight gain These findings provide clear evidence in people with type 2 diabetes to support starting insulin therapy with a once a day basal insulin, and then adding a mealtime insulin if glycaemic targets are not met
