6. New Recommendation: Pharmacologic Therapy For T2DM
In patients with long-standing suboptimally controlled type 2 diabetes and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, empagliflozin or liraglutide should be considered as they have been shown to reduce cardiovascular and all-cause mortality when added to standard care. Ongoing studies are investigating the cardiovascular benefits of other agents in these drug classes. B
One final point about the selection of blood glucose lowering agents in people with type 2 diabetes. Based on the results of two large clinical trials, a recommendation was added in 2017 to consider empagliflozin or liraglutide in patients with established cardiovascular disease to reduce the risk of mortality.

• Multiple cautions & contraindications
• Assess renal & liver function

9. SULFONYLUREAS

Noncompliance
Disease progression
Often need additional agents

10. Advantages

Low GI
1xd dosing

– Increases insulin release

11. Disadvantages (cont.)
Hypoglycemia
> with elderly & renal/hepatic dysfunction, missed meals
> with Glyburide
Weight gain of kg in 1st year is common Due to hyperinsulinemia Contributes to insulin resistance & drug failure
Avoid Glyburide (Micronase) in renal dysfunction
FDA warning about increased risk of CV death?
Hypersensitivity – sulfa

12. MEGLITINIDES • Repaglinide (Prandin), Nateglinide (Starlix)

13. Thiazolidinediones
(TZDs, Glitazones) Pioglitazone (Actos), Rosiglitazone (Avandia)
Reduce A1c 0.5-2%
• Advantages
– Improve insulin sensitivity & preserve ß-cell
• No tolerance?
– No hypoglycemia
– Pioglitazone reduces lipids and CV?
– Pioglitazone CKD – no dose change
– Used in preDM
– 1xd dosing

14. TZDs/Glitazones Disadvantages
• ­ weight (~5kg) by activation of adipose tissue
• Fluid retention
– Edema
– CHF – contraindicated in NYHA III or IV
Possible increased MI risk with rosiglitazone??
Bladder cancer with pioglitazone Negative effect on bone with 2x risk of fractures
FDA Med Watch March 2007.
Moderate to high cost

15. α-GLUCOSIDASE INHIBITORS
• Acarbose (Precose),Miglitol (Glyset)
• Reduce A1c 0.5-1%
• Advantages
– No weight gain, No hypoglycemia
– Slows glucose absorption& reduces PPG
– Used for pre-DM
– May reduce CV events
– Moderate cost –generic
• Disadvantages
– GI side effects are common
– 3xd dosing
– Caution with GI diseases
