Halting the Rise, Newest Non- Insulin Options for Lowering A1c Alecia Rottinghaus, PharmD PGY-1 Pharmacy Resident Iowa City Veterans Affairs Health Care System January 29 th, 2019 Disclosures Alecia Rottinghaus does not have any actual or potential conflict of interests to disclose and will not be discussing off-label use of medications Goal Upon conclusion of this presentation, attendees will be able to identify the three newer non-insulin agents (SGLT-2 inhibitors, GLP-1 agonists, and DPP-4 inhibitors) used to treat type 2 diabetes and determine their place in therapy 1
Pharmacists Objectives 1. List three factors to consider when deciding what diabetes medication to recommend for a patient 2. Diagram the different mechanism of action between a GLP-1 agonist and a DPP-4 inhibitor 3. Identify two side effects or contraindications associated with each class of the newer non-insulin agents 4. For a patient with known cardiovascular disease and stage 4 chronic kidney disease, determine if a DPP-4 inhibitor, GLP-1 agonist, and/or a SGLT-2 inhibitor are reasonable treatment recommendations 5. Identify which two GLP-1 agonists are associated with the most weight loss Pharmacy Technician Objectives 1. Match the name of diabetes medication to the correct class (SGLT-2 inhibitor, GLP-1 agonist, and DPP-4 inhibitor) 2. List two expected side effects associated with a GLP-1 agonist 3. Explain what new class of diabetes medication has NOT been shown to provide cardiovascular benefit 4. Identify which newer classes of diabetes medication are associated with weight loss Diabetes By The Numbers In 2015, 30.3 million people were reported to have diabetes in the United States (US) 95% of these are type 2 diabetes 23.8% of these were undiagnosed 1.5 million Americans are diagnosed yearly 7 th leading cause of death in the US in 2015 ~ 1 out of 10 people Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
