K Dasgupta: Choosing the right agent for your diabetes patient 28 October 2016
Canadian Society of Internal Medicine Annual Meeting 2016 Conflict Disclosures I sit on the CDA 2018 pharmacotherapy in type 2 diabetes chapter. I have held and hold research grants from the CIHR, FRQS, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Canadian Diabetes Association, Lawson Foundation, Medavie Foundation, and Diabete Quebec. None of these place me in conflict. I study health behaviour change in type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and hypertension. Some of the drugs, devices, or treatment modalities mentioned in this presentation are: All current classes of antihyperglycemic medications
1. Identify therapeutic options for patients on maximal doses of / intolerant to biguanides, sulfonylureas, and insulin 1. Compare and contrast the effects of the expanding options for anti-diabetic agents in diabetic patients, considering the risks of hypoglycaemia, body weight and other their side effects. 2. Interpret the evidence for cardiovascular outcomes for various hypoglycaemic agents 3. Recognize the impact of egfr on prescribing medications for type 2 diabetes.

67 year old woman with type 2 diabetes diagnosed 15 years ago and hypertension for the past 10 years. Her A1C is 8.7%, blood pressure is 140/90 mm Hg in your office, and her LDL is 2.2 mmol/l. Her GFR is 45. Her BMI is 34 kg/m2, her waist circumference is 93 cm, and she walks her dog 20 minutes each day. Her current medications include a statin, ASA, perindoprilindapamide combination, metformin, and maximal doses of gliclazide MR. She had an MI 1 year ago. How would you manage this patient?

Canagliflozin (Invokana) Dapagliflozin (Forxiga) In Europe these and empagliflozin are available in combination with metformin From CDA website, 2016:
Rare but life threatening cases have occurred in type 2 diabetes patient taking SGLT2 inhibitors Glucose levels may not be as high as expected for DKA Context Low insulin production or increased need Symptoms Nausea and vomiting Abdominal pain Thirst Tachypnea Confusion Medscape, Internal Medicine European Medicines Agency, 2016
A. In whom should we use empagliflozin? All patients with type 2 diabetes? Those with established CVD? Those with creatinine clearance above 30? All patients with renal injury? What other antihyperglycemic agents should be used first? A. Is this a class effect?
