Why is there a delay in initiating injectable therapy? Attitudes toward the initiation of insulin may delay escalation to other injectable therapies 1 Clinicians People with type 2 diabetes Challenges with insulin selection and titration Burdensome patient counselling requirements Avoidance of patient burden Concern over hypoglycaemic risk (insulin-specific) Lifestyle and employment restrictions Fear of hypoglycaemia (insulin-specific) Anxiety about injecting Concern about weight gain 1.

Treatment intensification with GLP-1 RAs may be an attractive option for people with type 2 diabetes Despite the potential for improved glycaemic control, many people with type 2 diabetes are reluctant to start injectable therapy 1 GLP-1 RAs offer the following benefits: HbA 1c reductions 2 Low risk of hypoglycaemia 2 Potential for weight loss 2 Development of GLP-1 RAs over time has allowed the option of less frequent injections for patients 2006 3 2009 4 2011 5 Twice daily Once daily Once weekly 1.

Dulaglutide offers significant HbA 1c reduction in a ready-to-use pen with once-weekly dosing 1 Trulicity is indicated in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycaemic control as: Monotherapy 0.75 mg once weekly When diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate glycaemic control in patients for whom the use of metformin is considered inappropriate due to intolerance or contraindications. Add-on therapy 1.5 mg once weekly In combination with other glucose-lowering medicinal products including insulin, when these, together with diet and exercise, do not provide adequate glycaemic control. For potentially vulnerable populations, such as patients 75 years, 0.75 mg once weekly can be considered as a starting dose Trulicity 1.5 mg demonstrated statistically superior HbA 1c reduction in phase III clinical trials vs metformin, exenatide BID, insulin glargine, and sitagliptin.

Summary We need to take a proactive approach in the management of glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes Despite the introduction of new therapies, clinical inertia results in many patients not meeting their glycaemic goals GLP-1 RAs offer the potential for glycaemic control with a low risk of hypoglycaemia and the potential for weight loss NICE recommends after 3 oral agents 1 Choice of GLP-1 treatment should be based on: 1 the person's individual clinical circumstances, preferences and needs in addition to effectiveness safety, tolerability available licensed indications or combinations, and cost if 2 drugs in the same class are appropriate, choose the option with the lowest acquisition cost 1.

NICE Guideline The latest update to the NICE type 2 diabetes guideline (NG28) now recommends that treatment choice should take individual needs into account 1 The choice of drug treatment should consider: the person's individual clinical circumstances, preferences and needs in addition to effectiveness safety, tolerability available licensed indications or combinations, and cost if 2 drugs in the same class are appropriate, choose the option with the lowest acquisition cost NICE guideline 28 also updates and replaces the single technology appraisals for liraglutide (TA203) and exenatide (TA248) 1 Therefore there is no longer mandatory funding for liraglutide and exenatide once-weekly 1.
