Is a chronic disease Type 2 Diabetes Caracterised by Increasing insulin resistance And decreased endogenous insulin production Resulting in chronic hyperglycaemia and po glycaemic control Increasing the risk of developing microvascular complications (retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy) and macrovascular complications (conary insufficiency, peripheral arteriopathy, vascular cerebral arteiopathy).

In Praise of Simplicity Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. Albert Einstein
The Basal Insulin Therapy Advantages One Insulin Once daily injection 1 Glucose Target (FPG/HbA1c) Easy dose titration (FPG) Low dose Small gain weight Hypoglycemia unfrequent Education limited (pencils) Good acceptability Limits Beta cell function requested Selection of patients Risk f nocturnal hypoglycemia if combined with Sulfonylurea Need f intensification and addition of bolus over time
BASAL Insulin Therapy: what option? Intensification Optimisation 16
Optimisation: when, why, how? WHEN? WHY? HOW? FPG Not at target Basal Insulin Optimisation 1 HbA 1c Not at target FPG at target PPG not at target: Intensification 2 HbA 1c at target But frequent Hypocglycemia 17

# Injections 1 Intensification Basal Insulin (usually with metfmin /- other non-insulin agent) Complexity low Start: 10U/day 0.1-0.2 U/kg/day Adjust: 10-15% 2-4 U once-twice weekly to reach FBG target. F hypo: Determine & address cause; dose by 4 units 10-20%. 2 Add 1 rapid insulin* injections befe largest meal If not controlled after FBG target is reached ( if dose > 0.5 U/kg/day), treat PPG excursions with meal-time insulin. (Consider initial GLP-1-RA trial.) Change to premixed insulin* twice daily mod. Start: 4U, 0.1 U/kg, 10% basal dose. If A1c<8%, consider basal by same amount. Adjust: dose by 1-2 U 10-15% oncetwice weekly until SMBG target reached. F hypo: Determine and address cause; cresponding dose by 2-4 U 10-20%. Start: Divide current basal dose into 2/3 AM, 1/3 PM 1/2 AM, 1/2 PM. Adjust: dose by 1-2 U 10-15% oncetwice weekly until SMBG target reached. F hypo: Determine and address cause; cresponding dose by 2-4 U 10-20%. 3 If not controlled, consider basalbolus. Add 2 rapid insulin* injections befe meals ('basal-bolus ) If not controlled, consider basalbolus. high Start: 4U, 0.1 U/kg, 10% basal dose/meal. If A1c<8%, consider basal by same amount. Adjust: dose by 1-2 U 10-15% once-twice weekly to achieve SMBG target. F hypo: Determine and address cause; cresponding dose by 2-4 U 10-20%.

Insulin and GLP1 RA in combination Patient Chatacteristics High fasting glucose High postprandial glucose Susceptibility to GI disders Need f simple treatment approach Sht-acting GLP1-RA Long-acting GLP1-RA Choice of GLP-1 Long-acting GLP1-RA Sht-acting GLP1-RA Long-acting GLP1-RA Long-acting GLP1-RA Exenatide, lixisenatide Liraglutide, dulaglutide, exenatide LAR
Combination of Basal Insulin GLP-1 RA: Complementary actions Basal insulin reduces FBG GLP1-RA ameliates PPG Potential benefits Improvement in HbA1c Weight loss Less hypoglycemia episodes
Conclusion Fasting Plasma Glucose accounts f the highest part of hyperglycemia in patients poly controlled To focuse primarily on it in patients treated with basal insulin therapy Long-acting GLP1-RA If necessary, treat Post Prandial Glucose excursions with rapid insulin GLP1-RA
