Significance of diabetes mellitus

• 5% of the population has diagnosed diabetes

• prevalence increases with age:20 - 44: 1%45 - 65: 5%> 65: 10%

• the true prevalence of diabetes is estimated to be twice the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes

Eye Disease

Type 1: 25% after 15 yearsType 2: 4% - 12% after 15 years

Diabetes is the leading cause of adult-onset blindness

Kidney Disease

Type 1: 30% after 15 yearsType 2: 20% after 15 years

Diabetes is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease

Foot complications

Legacy Effect of Earlier Metformin Therapy

• Despite an early loss of glycemic differences, a continued reduction in microvascular risk and emergent risk reductions for MI and death were observed during 10 years of post-trial follow-up

UKPDS Conclusions

Pharmacologic Management of Type 2 Diabetes

• If glycemic targets are not achieved within 2 to 3 months of lifestyle management, pharmacotherapy should be initiated.

• Timely adjustments should be made to attain target A1C within 6 to 12 months.

• In patients with marked hyperglycemia (A1C ≥ 9.0%), pharmacotherapy should be initiated concomitantly with lifestyle management, and consideration be given to either combination therapy or insulin.

Management of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes

A1C >9.0% Symptomatic with metabolic decompensation

A1C <9.0%

Initiate pharmacotherapy immediately without waiting for effect from lifestyle interventions:

• Consider initiating metformin concurrently with another agent from a different class or

• Initiate insulin

Overview of Main Results

+ + ++

4T trial

Three quarters of patients added a second insulin Those commencing therapy with a basal or prandial

insulin more often achieved glycaemic targets than patients commencing with a biphasic insulin

Patients commencing therapy with basal insulin had fewer hypoglycaemic episodes and less weight gain

These findings provide clear evidence in people with type 2 diabetes to support starting insulin therapy with a once a day basal insulin, and then adding

a mealtime insulin if glycaemic targets are not met
