Relationship between Glycemia and Complications DCCT and UKPDS Event Rate per 1000 Pt-Y 43% reduction in risk for every 10% decrease in HbA1c 37% reduction in risk for every 1% decrease in HbA1c DCCT UKPDS Current Mean HbA1c (%)
Why Does Diabetes Cost Us So Much? 1. Complications due to poor control 2. Litigious societies adding unnecessary cost to doctors visits, hospitals, pharmacies, medications, etc. 3. Access to care 4. Health education 5. Chronic and complex condition

Properties of the Ideal Drug Robust HbA1c No hypoglycemia No weight gain Complimentary actions Durability Well tolerated Long-term safety Simple administration Added value e.g., BP, lipids, β cell function, CVD protection, etc.
Endocrine Practice. 2009;15(6):540-559 AACE / ACE Diabetes Algorithm: Principles Prioritize medication choices according to safety, risk of hypoglycemia, efficacy, simplicity, anticipated degree of patient adherence and cost of medications. Stratify treatment choices based on A1C level. Recommend only combinations of medications approved by the FDA that provide complementary mechanisms of action.
Endocrine Practice. 2009;15(6):540-559 AACE / ACE Diabetes Algorithm: Principles Monitor therapy with A1C and SMBG. Adjust or advance therapy frequently (every 2 to 3 months) if appropriate goal has not been achieved. Provide a flowchart and table summarizing major considerations.

AACE / ACE Diabetes Algorithm: Principles (2) Minimize risk of hypoglycemia and weight gain When other agents fail to achieve goal, advance to insulin therapy ± oral agents. Starting insulin with an A1c in the 7% range, AM prandial insulin may be best choice Endocrine Practice. 2009;15(6):540-559
AACE / ACE Diabetes Algorithm: Principles (2) Individualize therapy for each patient Major cost of diabetes is due to complications, including hypoglycemia. Minimize total cost of care, not cost of medications per se Endocrine Practice. 2009;15(6):540-559

AACE / ACE Diabetes Algorithm: Principles (3) Lifestyle modification, diabetes education, and dietary consultation are essential, have major benefits, and should be initiated with medical therapy. Delay of pharmacotherapy is inappropriate because lifestyle interventions are usually not sufficient. Endocrine Practice. 2009;15(6):540-559
AACE / ACE Diabetes Algorithm: Principles (3) An A1C of 6.5% is recommended as the primary goal. This level must be customized for each patient considering: co-morbidities, duration of diabetes, history of hypoglycemia, hypoglycemia unawareness, patient education, motivation, adherence, age, life expectancy and other medications Endocrine Practice. 2009;15(6):540-559
AACE / ACE Diabetes Algorithm: Principles (4) Rapid-acting insulin analogues are superior to regular human insulin and provide a better, safer alternative. yield better reproducibility and consistency between patients and within patients reduce risk of hypoglycemia Insulin regimens such as basal, basal-bolus, prandial, pre-mixed and CSII can be combined with a variety of oral agents. Basal analogues preferred Endocrine Practice. 2009;15(6):540-559

Major Advantages of the AACE Algorithm 1. Includes all major classes of medications 2. Does not relegate important agents to a second tier 3. Incretin analogs and DPP-4 inhibitors are not relegated to a category of too new. SGLT-2 inhibitors are also included 4. Suggested agents based on A1C level and targeted agent activity 5. Attempts to reduce total costs of care including costs related to hypoglycemia and complications 6. Simple graphical layout with emphasis on early intervention and A1c at presentation 7. Simplified table of Benefits and Risks of each medication

Rationale for SGLT2 Inhibitors Inhibit glucose reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule Resultant glucosuria leads to a decline in plasma glucose and reversal of glucotoxicity This therapy is simple and nonspecific Even patients with refractory type 2 diabetes are likely to respond SGLT2=sodium-glucose cotransporter 2.

Caveats Although the algorithm should apply to most people with type 2 diabetes, it does not apply to all Individualize therapy is a must May select different glycemic goals - Elderly - Persons with projected life span too short to benefit - Persons in whom side-effects outweigh benefits May select different medications based on - Patient acceptance, tolerance - Specific risk factors Don t forget other interventions- lipids, blood pressure, CVD prevention
