Prevention of Diabetes in IGT
Lifestyle modification (see Finnish Diabetes Trial) Moderate weight loss (5%) (esp. abd fat) Regular physical activity > 150 minutes per week 58% RRR for type 2 Diabetes at four years Pharmacotherapy Multiple effective trials Eg. LIFE trial - Losartan onset of new DM2 ***Based on the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study and the Diabetes Prevention Program. Can J Diabetes 2003;27(2);S12

Pharmacological Prevention Studies
Study Drug Duration (years) RRR (%) DPP Metformin 850mg BID 2.8 31 STOP-NIDDM Acarbose 100mg TID 3.3 30 DREAM Rosiglitazone 8mg daily 3.0 55 XENDOS Orlistat 120mg TID 4.0 37 DPP Diabetes Prevention Program Metformin was more effective in younger more obese subjects and less effective among older, thinner people. STOP-NIDDM - Study to Prevent Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus TRIPOD Troglitazone in Prevention of Diabetes This glitazone was withdrawn from the market and was never availabe in Canada XENDOS Xenical in the prevention of diabetes in obese swedish subjects Prouded an average weight loss of 5.8 kg DREAM Published Sept 2006. Included patients with IFG or IGT or both.

Drug Classes Sensitizers Secretagogues Other
11
Drug Classes Sensitizers Secretagogues Other Metformin Glitazones
Rosiglitazone (AVANDIA) Pioglitazone (ACTOS) Secretagogues Sulfonylureas Eg. Glyburide, Gliclazide Meglitinides Eg Repaglinide (GLUCONORM) Other Alpha glucosidase inhibitors (Acarbose) SGLT2 inhibitors (Canagliflozin)(Dapagliflozin ) DPP4 inhibitors (Gliptins) Incretin (GLP1) Analogues Sitagliptin, Linagliptin * Liraglutide (VICTOZA) (sc inj) Saxagliptin, Alogliptin * Exenatide (BYETTA) (sc inj)
12
Drug Classes Sensitizers Sensitizers – reduce insulin resistance
Metformin Glitazones Rosiglitazone (AVANDIA) Pioglitazone (ACTOS) Sensitizers – reduce insulin resistance Increase glucose uptake & utilization in muscle and adipose tissue Reduce hepatic glucose output
13
Drug Classes Secretagogues
↑Basal & prandial insulin secretion, ↓hepatic gluconeogenesis Doesn’t correct impaired 1st phase insulin secretion; primarily affects 2nd phase Beta-cell sensitizer – primes glucose mediated insulin secretion (1st phase) Secretagogues Sulfonylureas Eg. Glyburide, Gliclazide Meglitinides Eg Repaglinide (GLUCONORM)
14
Drug Classes: Other Alpha glucosidase inhibitors (Acarbose)
Competitive inhibitor of pancreatic α-amylase and intestinal brush border α-glucosidases, resulting in delayed hydrolysis of ingested complex carbohydrates and disaccharides and absorption of glucose; Dose-dependent reduction in postprandial serum insulin and glucose peaks; inhibits the metabolism of sucrose to glucose and fructose SGLT2 inhibitors (Canagliflozin, Dapagliflozin) Inhibits sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) in the proximal renal tubules, reducing reabsorption of filtered glucose from the tubular lumen and lowering the renal threshold for glucose (RTG). SGLT2 is the main site of filtered glucose reabsorption; reduction of filtered glucose reabsorption and lowering of RTG result in increased urinary excretion of glucose, thereby reducing plasma glucose concentrations. DPP4 inhibitors (Gliptins) – (Sitagliptin, Lingliptin, Saxagliptin, Alogliptin) Prolongs the action of endogenous incretin hormones by blocking their breakdown by the enzyme, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). This leads to more insulin release after eating. Incretin (GLP1) Analogues – (Liraglutide (Victoza®), Exenatide (Byetta®)) sc injection mimic endogenous incretin hormones
15
Rational Prescribing FOUR steps to Rational Prescribing: EFFICACY
TOXICITY COST CONVENIENCE
16
EFFICACY – Ask… HARD Outcomes SURROGATE Outcomes
Any mortality benefit? Any morbidity benefit? Then, SURROGATE Outcomes Clinically relevant?
17
EFFICACY HARD Outcomes SURROGATE Outcomes Mortality benefit Morbidity
Metformin – UKPDS-34 trial Morbidity Reduction in microvascular complications (nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy) SURROGATE Outcomes Hgb-A1c reduction Blood glucose level reduction Fasting or Prandial Insulin Sparing Effects
18
Effect of Metformin on Event Rates in the UKPDS
Diabetes-related endpoint 32% p=0.002 All-cause mortality 36% p=0.011 MI / CVA Diabetes-related death 42% p=0.017 But.. When added early to sulfonylurea risk of DM-related death (?statistical anomaly?)
19
EFFICACY A) Surrogate Outcome - Hgb-A1c ~ 1% to 2% ~ 0.5% to 0.8%
Metformin (1% - 2%) Sulfonylureas (1% - 2%) Repaglinide (1% - 1.5%) Glitazones (TZDs) (0.4% - 1.5%) Canagliflozin (0.8 – 1%) ~ 0.5% to 0.8% Acarbose DPP4 inhibitors (‘Gliptins) Nateglinide Dapagliflozin Nathan DM, et al. Diabetes Care 2008 (Dec);31:1-11.
20
EFFICACY B) Surrogate Outcome - Insulin Sparing Effect
METFORMIN ACARBOSE TZD’s (GLITAZONE’s) DPP4 inh (‘gliptins) Incretin Analogues (Liraglutide, Exenatide) SGLT2 inh (Canagliflozin, Dapagliflozin) = Weight neutral or weight negative = Reduction of hyperinsulinemia
21
TOXICITY – Ask… Serious / Fatal Side Effects Bothersome / Common s.e.
Age? Newer agents = Less Safety Data Older agents = More Safety Data
22
TOXICITY – Serious / Fatal
Glitazones CHF Fractures M.I. (rosiglitazone) Bladder Cancer (pioglitazone) Secretatgogues (Sulfonylureas & Meglitinides) Severe Hypoglycemia
23
TOXICITY – Serious / Fatal
SGLT2 inhibitors (Canagliflozin) (Dapagliflozin) ?DKA “March 2013 to June 6, 2014, 20 cases of acidosis — diabetic ketoacidosis, ketoacidosis or ketosis — were recorded in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System in patients treated with SGLT2 inhibitors. All patients required emergency room visits or hospitalization to treat the ketoacidosis.” Unknown – too new Incretin Analogues – (Liraglutide, Exenatide (sc inj)) & DPP4 inhibitors (‘gliptins) ?Heart failure ?Pancreatitis Unknown - too new
24
TOXICITY – Serious / Fatal
Metformin ?Risk of Lactic Acidosis 0.03 cases / 1000 pt-yrs ~ 50% fatal When implicated: Metformin plasma levels are usually >5 μg/mL Cases - primarily diabetics w/ significant renal insufficiency, both intrinsic renal disease and renal hypoperfusion, w/ multiple medical/surgical problems and multiple medications.
25
Metformin Dosing Dosing recommendations with renal insufficiency:
(CONTROVERSIAL) CrCl 60ml/min→ 1700 mg/day (Rxfiles) 2.5g/day (Roland) CrCl 30ml/min→ 850mg/day (Rxfiles) CrCl < 30ml/min→ Contraindicated (Rxfiles) 1g/day (>20mL/min) (Roland) If NO other risk factors, else D/C. Take home: assess OTHER RISK FACTORS for L.A.
26
Risk Factors - Lactic Acidosis
Severe renal impairment (caution if CrCl < 30ml/min) and Hepatic disease alcoholism CHF COPD CRF Pneumonia Ongoing acidosis Lactic, keto etc.
27
TOXICITY - Bothersome 1) METFORMIN
GI upset / diarrhea – Start low, go slow! Initial dose 250mg QDaily to BID B12 / folate deficiency / anemia (6 - 8/100) Reduced absorption – so, supplement Anorexia – usually transient Metallic taste
28
TOXICITY - Bothersome 2) Sulfonylureas: Sulfa skin reactions
Rash / photosensitivity ~1% Weight gain (2-3kg) Mild Hypoglycemia: Most with glyburide. Least w/ glimepiride & gliclazide Requires consistent food intake Major episodes 1-2% (esp. in elderly)
29
TOXICITY - Bothersome 3) Glitazones: 4) Meglitinides: 5) Acarbose:
Edema 4) Meglitinides: Hypoglycemia 5) Acarbose: GI upset / diarrhea / bloating Gliptins: GI upset, edema, ?infection Incretin analogues N/V/D, ?infection 8) SGLT2 inhibitors HyperK+, ARF, GU infection
30
Cost – Ask… Patient cost vs societal cost Rx cost? ODB coverage?
Covered under other plans?
31
Cost From Rxfiles May 2013 Cost per 100 days therapy (in Sask.)
(N.B. June 2015 costs ~ same) Cost per 100 days therapy (in Sask.) Alternatively, check ODB e-formulary N.B. Not true pt costs Comparative costs
32
Convenience PO vs IV? QD vs QID?
33
Convenience Gliptin’s - QD Glitazones - QD SGLT2 inh - QD
Sulfonylureas – QD to BID Metformin - QD to TID Meglitinides – QD to TID with meals Acarbose – QD to TID
35
Did I say, never? I meant NEVER!
1st line – METFORMIN 2nd line - SULFONYLUREA or INSULIN Meglitinide – if poor CrCL or irregular eating 3rd line – any other hypoglycemic if patients absolutely REFUSE insulin NEVER USE GLITAZONEs! Did I say, never? I meant NEVER!
36
Individualization of Drug Therapy
Patient Factor Consider→ Possibly preferred drugs Renal Failure Repaglinide, Acarbose, ‘Gliptins Also: insulin Hepatic Disease Insulin, repaglinide, acarbose, Caution: glyburide, metformin, glitazones Hyoglycemia Metformin, Acarbose, (DPP4 inh),(SGLT2 inh) Also, repaglinide, gliclazide Obese Metformin, Acarbose Irregular Mealtimes Repaglinide (may be preferred over SU) PPBG >10mmol/L and FBG minimally ↑’d Repaglinide or Acarbose Rapid insulin if PPBG very high
