3 STANDARDS OF MEDICAL CARE IN DIABETES 2013 Supplement 1 January 2013

4 Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes: Lifestyle Intervention Diabetes education Knowledge about: disease process, potential risks, treatments, glucose monitoring, self-care Weight loss Nutrition Exercise Stop smoking

5 Patients on multiple-dose insulin (MDI) or insulin pump therapy should do SMBG At least prior to meals and snacks Occasionally post-prandially At bedtime Prior to exercise Recommendations: Glucose Monitoring (1) When they suspect low blood glucose After treating low blood glucose until they are normoglycemic Prior to critical tasks such as driving Diabetes Care 2013;36(suppl 1):S17.

6 Recommendations: Glucose Monitoring (2) When prescribed as part of a broader educational context, SMBG results may be helpful to guide treatment decisions and/or patient selfmanagement for patients using less frequent insulin injections or noninsulin therapies When prescribing SMBG, ensure that patients receive ongoing instruction and regular evaluation of SMBG technique and SMBG results, as well as their ability to use SMBG data to adjust therapy

7 Recommendations: Physical Activity Advise people with diabetes to perform at least 150 min/week of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity (50 70% of maximum heart rate), spread over at least 3 days per week with no more than 2 consecutive days without exercise In absence of contraindications, adults with type 2 diabetes should be encouraged to perform resistance training at least twice per week

8 Blood Pressure Recommendations: Measure at each visit Dilated eye exam At diagnosis. Initially annually, then every 2-3 years after normal exam Foot exam Examination Annually Laboratory Evaluation A1C Lipids Creatinine Urine albumin Twice yearly for patients meeting treatment goals on stable therapy Yearly Yearly Yearly (spot urine albumin:creatinine ratio)

9 Guidelines for Blood Pressure & Lipid Control Blood pressure Lipids < 130/80 mmhg LDL: < 100 mg/dl (2.59 mmol/l) < 70 mg/dl (1.81 mmol/l) (with overt CVD) HDL: > 40 mg/dl (1.04 mmol/l) Men > 50 mg/dl (1.30 mmol/l)women TG: < 150 mg/dl (1.69 mmol/l) Statin therapy regardless of baseline lipids for patients with overt CVD or multiple risk factors ADA. Diabetes Care. 2013;36 (Suppl 1):S11-66

10 CHD Screening and Treatment Routine CAD screening not recommended in asymptomatic patients If CVD risk factors are treated, CAD screening does not improve outcomes Diabetes Care 2013;36(suppl 1):S17.

11 Recommendations: Antiplatelet Agents (1) Consider aspirin therapy ( mg/day) As a primary prevention strategy in those with type 1 or type 2 diabetes at increased cardiovascular risk (10-year risk >10%) Includes most men >50 years of age or women >60 years of age who have at least one additional major risk factor Family history of CVD Hypertension Smoking Dyslipidemia Albuminuria Diabetes Care 2013;36(suppl 1):S17.

12 Recommendations: Antiplatelet Agents (2) Aspirin should not be recommended for CVD prevention for adults with diabetes at low CVD risk, since potential adverse effects from bleeding likely offset potential benefits 10-year CVD risk <5%: men <50 and women <60 years of age with no major additional CVD risk factors In patients in these age groups with multiple other risk factors (10-year risk 5 10%), clinical judgment is required Diabetes Care 2013;36(suppl 1):S17.

14 Recommendations: Immunization (1) Provide influenza vaccine annually to all diabetic patients 6 months of age Administer pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine to all diabetic patients 2 years One-time revaccination recommended for those >64 years previously immunized at <65 years if administered >5 years ago Other indications for repeat vaccination: nephrotic syndrome, chronic renal disease, immunocompromised states Diabetes Care 2013;36(suppl 1):S17.

15 Recommendations: Immunization (2) Administer hepatitis B vaccination to unvaccinated adults with diabetes who are aged 19 through 59 years Consider administering hepatitis B vaccination to unvaccinated adults with diabetes who are aged 60 years

16 Recommendations: Glycemic Goals in Adults (1) Lowering A1C to below or around 7% has been shown to reduce microvascular complications and, if implemented soon after the diagnosis of diabetes, is associated with long-term reduction in macrovascular disease Therefore, a reasonable A1C goal for many nonpregnant adults is <7% Plasma glucose: Pre-prandial PG <130 mg/dl (7.2 mmol/l) Post-prandial PG <180 mg/dl (10.0 mmol/l) ADA. V. Diabetes Care. Diabetes Care 2013;36(suppl 1):S19.

17 Correlation of A1C with Average Glucose Mean plasma glucose A1C (%) mg/dl mmol/l These estimates are based on ADAG data of ~2,700 glucose measurements over 3 months per A1C measurement in 507 adults with type 1, type 2, and no diabetes. The correlation between A1C and average glucose was A calculator for converting A1C results into estimated average glucose (eag), in either mg/dl or mmol/l, is available at

18 Recommendations: Glycemic Goals in Adults (2) Providers might reasonably suggest more stringent A1C goals (such as <6.5%) for selected individual patients, if this can be achieved without significant hypoglycemia or other adverse effects of treatment Appropriate patients might include those with short duration of diabetes, long life expectancy, and no significant CVD ADA. V. Diabetes Care. Diabetes Care 2013;36(suppl 1):S19.

19 Recommendations: Glycemic Goals in Adults (3) Less stringent A1C goals (such as <8%) may be appropriate for patients with History of severe hypoglycemia, limited life expectancy, advanced microvascular or macrovascular complications, extensive comorbid conditions Those with longstanding diabetes in whom the general goal is difficult to attain despite diabetes selfmanagement education, appropriate glucose monitoring, and effective doses of multiple glucose lowering agents including insulin

20 Cardiovascular Outcomes in Recent Prospective Trials n Known diabetes duration (y) Length of treatment intervention (y) A1c difference between groups Reduction of CV Events (CV composite) ADVANCE 11, % (7.3 vs 6.5) 6% (NS) ACCORD 10, % (7.5 vs 6.4) 10% (NS) Nonfatal MI: 24% (p =.004) VADT 1, % (8.4 vs 6.9) 12% (NS) Subsequent meta-analysis of these studies and the UKPDS showed no significant effect of intensive glycemic control on overall cardiovascular events or mortality, but did show a significant 15% decrease in fatal or non-fatal MI

24 Glucose-Lowering Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes (1) Inzucchi S et al. 2012; Diabetes Care. 35:

25 Sulfonylurea Efficacy High Hypoglycemia Moderate risk Weight Gain Major side effects Hypoglycemia Costs Low Advantages Disadvantages Good initial efficacy Risk of hypoglycemia Extensive experience, widely available Weight gain Well tolerated Possible cardiovascular risk compared to metformin Inexpensive

26 Thiazolidinedione Pioglitazone Efficacy High Hypoglycemia Low risk Weight Gain Major side effects Fluid retention Costs High (However, soon will be generic) Advantages Disadvantages Decrease manifestations of insulin resistance Weight gain Durable activity, may diminish rate of deterioration of beta cell function Fluid retention and increased risk of CHF? Decrease in cardiovascular events Increased osteoporotic fractures in women Safety concerns

27 Thiazolidinediones Safety Concerns Increased risk of MI (rosiglitazone)» Initial concerns not supported by further studies Fluid retention and CHF» Not associated with increased risk of death, MI or stroke Increased risk of bone fracture in older women Possible association between pioglitazone and bladder cancer
