Summary of Diabetes: Epidemiology/Pathophysiology Diabetes and diabetes-related complications (eg, heart disease, kidney disease, blindness, amputations) are highly prevalent 1 The pathophysiology of diabetes involves the development of insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction 2 Diabetes is strongly correlated with a number of microvascular risk factors and diseases, and is a contributor to macrovascular disease and mortality 1 Routine clinical measures may be used to identify patients at risk of developing type 2 diabetes who may benefit from lifestyle counseling 3 1.

If FPG exceeded 270 mg/dL, patients were re-randomized to receive nonintensive MET, chlorpropamide, glibenclamide, or insulin. If FPG exceeded 270 mg/dL again, those on SU would have MET added. If FPG exceeded 270 mg/dL after this, insulin was substituted. Adapted from UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS 34) Group. Lancet. 1998;352:854–865.

Summary of Treatment Goals and Strategies Glycemic control is fundamental to the management of diabetes 1 The UKPDS demonstrated significant risk reductions in microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes with more intensive glycemic control. The benefit of A1C–lowering to reduce CVD in type 2 diabetes is supported by UKPDS data 2 There is a need to treat the whole patient, including management of hyperglycemia, CV risk factors and other comorbidities. This is key in reducing diabetes-related complications 3 1. AACE. Endocr Pract. 2007;13(suppl 1):4– Stratton IM et al. BMJ. 2000;321:405– American Diabetes Association.

Conclusions: Management of Type 2 Diabetes Diabetes is a major clinical problem – Pathophysiology involves insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction 1 Diabetes is correlated with increased risk of microvascular and macrovascular diseases and events – Microvascular complications are predominately driven by hyperglycemia 2,3 – Macrovascular complications are multifactorial and complex 4 1.

Conclusions: Management of Type 2 Diabetes (cont) A1C reduction has been shown to reduce the risk of microvascular complications and may contribute to risk reduction of macrovascular endpoints 1 Early intervention is needed to get A1C to goal (diet and exercise should always be recommended) 2 It is challenging to maintain A1C control over time with traditional monotherapies 3 AACE and ADA * guidelines recommends use of combination therapy to achieve and sustain glycemic goals 2,4 *ADA guidelines recommend that a second medication should be added within 3 months if patients are not at goal. 1.
