Long Term Benefits of Oral Agents
Robin Conway M.D.
Physical Activity and Diabetes
• For people who have not previously exercised regularly and are at risk of CVD, an ECG stress test should be considered prior to starting an exercise program
A1C (%)
FPG/preprandial (mmol/L)
2h Postprandial (mmol/L)
Target for most patients ≤ 7.0 4.0 – 7.0 5.0 – 10.0
Normal range (if it can be safely achieved)
≤ 6.0 4.0 – 6.0 5.0 – 8.0
Testing is particularly important before, during and for many hours after exercise.
Nutrition Therapy
People with diabetes should:
• Receive nutrition counseling by a registered dietitian
• Receive individualized meal planning
• Follow Canada’s Guidelines for Healthy Eating
• People on intensive insulin should also be taught to adjust the insulin for the amount of carbohydrate consumed
Pharmacologic Management of Type 2 Diabetes
• Add anti-hyperglycemic agents if:Diet & exercise therapy do not achieve targets
after 2-3 month trialOr newly diagnosed and has an A1C of 9%
Intensify to reach targets in 6-12 months

Management of Hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes Patients
Oral Agents for Type 2 Diabetes
SMBG is recommended at least once daily
• Combination at less than maximal doses result in more rapid improvement of blood glucose
• Counsel patients about hypoglycemia prevention and treatment
Targets for Glycemic Control
* Treatment goals and strategies must be tailored to the patient, with consideration given to individual risk factors
To achieve an A1C 7.0%, patients should aim for FPG, preprandial and postprandial PG targets

Oral Antihyperglycemic Agents: Biguanides
• Decreases hepatic glucoseproduction, enhances peripheral glucose uptake
– May reduce insulin resistance in the periphery
– e.g., Metformin
– Contraindicated in renal/hepatic insufficiency
– May cause GI side effects
– Not associated with hypoglycemia, may promote weight loss

Oral Antihyperglycemic Agents: Thiazolidinediones (TZDs)
• Decrease insulinresistance– Increase insulin-dependent
glucose disposal, decrease hepatic glucose production– e.g., Pioglitazone, rosiglitazone– Pioglitazone has a positive effect on lipids– Not associated with hypoglycemia– Possible URI, headache, edema, weight gain and
reduction in hemoglobin

Oral Antihyperglycemic Agents: Sulfonylureas
• Stimulate pancreatic insulin release
– e.g., First-generation: tolbutamide, chlorpropamide, acetohexamide
– e.g., Second-generation: Glyburide, gliclazide
– Secondary failure a problem– Weight gain, risk of hypoglycemia

Oral Antihyperglycemic Agents: Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
• Slows gut absorptionof starch and sucrose
– Attenuates postprandial increases in blood glucose levels
– e.g., Acarbose – GI side effects– Not associated with hypoglycemia or weight
gain
