2. What new in 2013
BP 140/80 rather than 130/80
Patient centre apporoach
3. Conclusions from recent trials
Tight control
-early on has long term benefit on CVD
-later in the disease has little impact on CVD
-later in the disease may CVD risk
Severe Hypo may be dangerous
BP <120/80 no better than <140/80
Multifactorial management saves lives
Early combination Therapy
Therapeutic Inertia
7. Are We getting better control?
• Why?
• Diet and exercise(Life long)
• Therapeutic Inertia (Target not achieved)
• Not using better drugs,better combination,sup-optimal dose
• Poor compliance,Poor monitoring
• Not giving drug according to pathogenesis
• Secondary drug failure---Need insulin
• Stress,Infection,MI,
• Steroid
No

52. 1. Patient-Centered Approach
“...providing care that is respectful of and
responsive to individual patient preferences,
needs, and values ensuring that patient values
guide all clinical decisions.”
• Gauge patient’s preferred level of involvement.
• Explore, where possible, therapeutic choices.
• Utilize decision aids.
•Shared decision making – final decisions re:
lifestyle choices ultimately lies with the patient.

• Can use in heart failure, renal failure
• SE - Weight gain, hypoglycemia
• Choice of SU – Newer SU to prevent cardiac side effect, prolong

71. Sulfonylureas: How to Choose?
• Cardiac patients: Glimepiride/GLICLAZIDE
• Elderly patients: Glimepiride/GLICLAZIDE
• Economy: Glibenclamide
• Mild renal insufficiency: Glimepiride
• Severe Renal : Gliclazide and glipizide
• Require high potency: Glibenclamide
• Relatively younger patients: Glibenclamide
75. Any prevention of β cell dysfunction
and failure (i.e. loss of β cell mass)
Initially correct glucotoxicity, lipotoxicity

SU can even increase ROS ↑ apoptosis

This is another example of the diabetes food pyramid. This pyramid recommends: Cereals, whole grains and starch as the staple content of the diet one to two servings of fruit and three to four servings of vegetables two to three servings of milk and meat products per day sugars, fats, oils and fatty foods to be eaten sparingly The number of servings depending on the individual’s caloric requirements. Disadvantages associated with the food pyramid include: Non-specific quantities for portion sizes The absence of healthier alternatives in each group No recommendations for the cooking of foods (ie healthy/unhealthy alternatives, eg fried versus steamed) A lack of differentiation between healthy (monounsaturated) fats and unhealthy ones (butter and ghee) A uniform approach to carbohydrates that fails to distinguish between healthier (whole grains) and refined flours No differentiation between healthier meat/fish options.
The plate model is a simple way to planning a balanced diet through appropriate portion sizes. Foods are divided into five basic groups: 1. Starch/cereals; 2. Vegetables; 3. Fruit; 4. Milk; 5. Protein/meat. The plate model recommends: one fourth starch (potato, colocassia, yam, sweet potato, peas, etc) one fourth protein (meat, fish, poultry, pulses, tofu, beans, etc) half of the plate should consist of vegetables (preferably non-starchy, low-carbohydrate vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, green beans, carrots, mushrooms, tomatoes, cauliflower, spinach, peppers or salad greens) one cup of low-fat milk or yoghurt/curd one piece of fruit. A ‘meal plan’ exercise using the plate model can be carried out in a variety of ways: a paper plate can be used with basic drawings showing the amount of space which should be taken up by each food group (this technique helps to reinforce consistency and prevent large amounts of carbohydrate foods being eaten on any one day) another simple technique is to remind people to carry a ‘Handy Meal Plan’ on their hand: hold up your hand (palm facing forward), point to your four fingers and show that most adults can have about four carbohydrates per meal, a serving of meat/meat substitute the size of the palm (about 110 g) and just a ‘thumb tip’ of fat.
08/13/13 18:42 No Single Class of Oral Antihyperglycemic Monotherapy Targets All Key Pathophysiologies Speaker Notes No single-agent monotherapy has an MOA that addresses all key pathophysiologies of type 2 diabetes. Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors decrease intestinal absorption of glucose. 1,2 Meglitinides and sulfonylureas stimulate insulin secretion. 3–5 TZDs are insulin sensitizers that also lower hepatic glucose output. 6,7 Metformin, a biguanide, lowers hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity. 8 DPP-4 inhibitors improve insulin synthesis and release and lower hepatic glucose production, both through suppressing glucagon production and release, and by improving insulin synthesis and release. Each class of oral antihyperglycemic agent does not address at least 1 key pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes. Purpose: To examine the key pathophysiologies targeted by each class of oral antihyperglycemic agent. Takeaway: No one class targets all key pathophysiologies of type 2 diabetes. References: 1.

Overview of anti-hyperglycemic therapy in T2DM (Figure 2.) What follows are variations of this figure to help guide the clinician in choosing agents which may be most appropriate under certain situations: to avoid weight gain, to avoid hypoglycemia, and to minimize costs.
Fig. 2B should be considered when the goal is to avoid weight gain. Note that "hidden" agents may obviously still be used when required, but additional care is needed to avoid adverse events. Here, the chances of weight gain when using the hidden agents will be mitigated by more rigorous adherence to dietary recommendations and optimal dosing.
Fig. 2C should be considered when the goal is to minimize costs. This reflects prevailing costs in the North America and Europe in early 2012; costs of certain drugs may vary considerably from country to country and as generic formulations become available.
Metformin The clinical efficacy of metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes requires the presence of insulin, but it does not stimulate insulin secretion (hence no risk of hypoglycemia). The predominant glucose-lowering mechanism of action of metformin is to reduce excessive rates of hepatic glucose production. Metformin reduces gluconeogenesis by increasing hepatic sensitivity to insulin and decreasing the hepatic extraction of certain gluconeogenic substrates (e.g. lactate). Hepatic glycogenolysis is also decreased by metformin. Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle is enhanced by metformin. This involves an increase in the movement of insulin-sensitive glucose transporter molecules to the cell membrane; an increase in the activity of the enzyme glycogen synthase promotes synthesis of glycogen. Metformin also acts in an insulin-independent manner to suppress oxidation of fatty acids and to reduce triglyceride levels in patients with hypertriglyceridemia. This reduces the energy supply for hepatic gluconeogenesis and has favourable effects on the glucose-fatty acid (Randle) cycle (in which fatty acids are held to compete with glucose as a cellular energy source). Glucose metabolism in the splanchnic bed is increased by metformin through insulin-independent mechanisms. This may contribute to the blood glucose-lowering effect of the drug, and in turn may help to prevent gains in bodyweight. Collectively, the cellular effects of metformin serve to counter insulin resistance and to reduce the putative toxic metabolic effects of hyperglycaemia (glucose toxicity) and fatty acids (lipotoxicity) in type 2diabetes.

In 9 out of 10 cases, you can use them interchangeably. If a standard dose of one SU does not work, then other SUs will also not work Repaglinide and Nateglinide: Act similary but via a different receptor. They have quick action and shorter actions, so work well in post prandial glycemia. if an elderly patient requires avoidance of hypos, then we can use it. Shorter action time means that they will not work so well on fasting glycemia. Need to be given three times a day and are much more expensive than sulfonylureas. So they are not very popular in India.
Risk of Hypoglycemia with Different Sulfonylureas Incidence of hypoglycemia with SUs varies with different compounds. 1 Reference 1. Tayek J.
