Study Notes
Diabetes Overview
- Diabetes affects >30 million Americans (just over 1 in 10)
- The central problem in all types of diabetes is high blood glucose (hyperglycemia) due to decreased insulin secretion from the pancreas, decreased insulin sensitivity, or both
- Chronic hyperglycemia can lead to damage throughout the body, including organ and nerve damage
Insulin and Glucagon
- Insulin is a hormone produced by beta-cells in the pancreas that moves glucose out of the blood and into body cells to be used as energy
- Insulin is counter-balanced by glucagon, which is produced by alpha-cells in the pancreas and raises blood glucose levels
Diabetes Screening
- All individuals, even those with no other risk factors, should be tested for diabetes beginning at 45 years old
- Asymptomatic children, adolescents, and adults who are overweight with at least one other risk factor should be tested
Diagnosis
- There are three types of tests used to identify if prediabetes or diabetes is present:
- Hemoglobin A1C (A1C) indicates the average blood glucose over approximately the past 3 months
- Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) gives the blood glucose level at that moment
- Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) determines how well glucose is tolerated by measuring the blood glucose level 2 hours after drinking a liquid high in sugar
Treatment Goals
- The treatment goals for A1C, preprandial glucose (before meals), and postprandial glucose (after eating) are:
- A1C: <7%
- Preprandial glucose: 70-130 mg/dL
- Postprandial glucose: <180 mg/dL
Lifestyle Modifications
- Lifestyle modifications, used alone or in combination with medications, are an essential component of all diabetes care plans
- Goals include:
- Weight loss (if overweight or obese) to lower blood glucose and blood pressure
- Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for at least 150 minutes per week
- Reducing sedentary behavior
- Quitting smoking
Comprehensive Care
- In addition to glycemic control, treatment is aimed at preventing the long-term complications of diabetes, including:
- Microvascular disease (small vessel damage)
- Macrovascular disease (large vessel damage)
- Statin treatment may be used in certain individuals to prevent cardiovascular disease
Non-Insulin Medications for Type 2 Diabetes
- Biguanides (metformin) work by decreasing hepatic glucose production and increasing insulin sensitivity
- Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors work by reducing glucose reabsorption in the kidneys
- Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists work by stimulating insulin secretion and decreasing glucagon secretion
- Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors work by preventing the breakdown of incretin hormones
- Sulfonylureas and meglitinides work by stimulating insulin secretion from the pancreas### DPP-4 Inhibitors
- Names end in "-gliptin"
- Examples: Sitagliptin (Januvia), Linagliptin (Trajenta), Saxagliptin (Onglyza), Alogliptin (Nesina)
- Dosage: varies depending on the specific drug and patient's eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate)
- Side effects: generally well tolerated, but can cause nasopharyngitis, URTIs, UTIs, peripheral edema, rash
- Contraindications: do not use with GLP-1 agonists (overlapping mechanism)
- Interactions: Saxagliptin is a major substrate of CYP450 3A4 and P-gp; Linagliptin is a major substrate of CYP3A4 and P-gp
Thiazolidinediones (TZDs)
- Names end in "-glitazone"
- Examples: Pioglitazone (Actos), Rosiglitazone (Avandia)
- Dosage: varies depending on the specific drug and patient's condition
- Side effects: edema, weight gain, URTIs, myalgia, increased risk of heart failure, fractures, and bladder cancer
- Contraindications: do not use in patients with NYHA Class III/IV heart failure
- Interactions: TZDs are major substrates of CYP2C8; use caution with CYP2C8 inducers or inhibitors
Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors
- Examples: Acarbose (Precose), Miglitol (Glyset)
- Mechanism of action: inhibit the metabolism of intestinal sucrose, delaying glucose absorption
- Side effects: GI effects (flatulence, diarrhea, abdominal pain), do not cause hypoglycemia alone
- Interactions: may affect absorption of other drugs and fat-soluble vitamins
Bile Acid Binding Resins
- Example: Colesevelam (Welchol)
- Indicated for dyslipidemia, not diabetes
- Side effects: constipation, may bind and decrease absorption of other drugs and fat-soluble vitamins
Dopamine Agonists
- Example: Bromocriptine (Cycloset)
- Contraindications: patients with syncopal migraines, breastfeeding women
- Side effects: hypotension, orthostasis, vomiting, anorexia, weight loss
Amylin Analogs
- Example: Pramlintide (Symlin)
- Mechanism of action: helps control PPG (postprandial glucose) by slowing gastric emptying, suppressing glucagon secretion
- Side effects: hypoglycemia, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, weight loss
- Contraindications: patients with gastroparesis
Combinations
- Examples: Metformin/glipizide, Metformin/canagliflozin, Linagliptin/empagliflozin, Saxagliptin/dapagliflozin
- Combines the benefits of different medications, but may increase the risk of side effects
Diabetes Screening
- Risk factors: age, overweight, physical inactivity, family history, high blood pressure, high cholesterol
- Screening tests: A1C, FPG, OGTT
- Criteria for diagnosing diabetes: A1C ≥ 6.5%, FPG ≥ 126 mg/dL, OGTT ≥ 200 mg/dL
Treatment Goals
- A1C < 7% (or < 6.5% for some patients)
- Preprandial glucose: 70-130 mg/dL
- Postprandial glucose: < 180 mg/dL
Lifestyle Modifications
- Weight loss: aim for 5-10% of body weight
- Diet: focus on natural forms of carbohydrates and sugars, avoid alcohol or drink in moderation
- Physical activity: at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week
- Smoking cessation: encourage all patients who smoke to quit
Comprehensive Care
- Microvascular complications: retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy
- Macrovascular complications: CAD, CVA, PAD
- Statin treatment: use high-intensity statin for ASCVD, moderate-intensity statin for diabetes and age 40-75 years
- Aspirin treatment: use for ASCVD secondary prevention
- Monitoring: lipid panel, blood pressure, feet, and kidneys annually### GLP-1 Agonists
- End in "-tide"
- Examples: Liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda), Dulaglutide (Trulicity), Exenatide (Byetta), Exenatide ER (Bydureon, Bydureon BCise), Lixisenatide (Adlyxin), Semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus)
- Dosing: varies by drug, but often once weekly or daily
- Safety and Side Effects:
- Boxed warning: risk of thyroid C-cell carcinomas; do not use in patients with personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
- Pancreatitis (can be fatal), risk factors: gallstones, alcoholism, or CrCI < 30
- Not recommended in patients with severe GI disease, including gastroparesis
- Side effects: weight loss, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hypoglycemia, injection site reactions
