Diabetes

In ATP III, diabetes is regarded as a CHD risk equivalent.

Note: The recent NCEP/ATP III guidelines suggest that in patients with triglycerides 200 mg/dL, the “non-HDL cholesterol” be calculated with a goal being < 130.American Diabetes Association. Diabetes Care. 2002;25:S33.

American Diabetes Association. Diabetes Care. 2001;24(suppl 1):S33-S43.

Recommended Treatment Goals for Hypertension for Adults With Diabetes

Aspirin

• Use aspirin therapy ( 75-325 mg/day ) in all adult patients with diabetes and macrovascular disease.

• Consider aspirin therapy for primary prevention in patients over age 40 with diabetes and one or more other CV risk factors ( including obesity ).

• Also consider patients between age 30-40.

Sulfonylureas• Mechanism of action: increases pancreatic

insulin secretion• Reported A1C reduction: 0.9%-2.5%• Advantages: well-established, decreases

microvascular risk, convenient daily dosing• Disadvantages: hypoglycemia, weight gain,

hyperinsulinemia (role uncertain)• FDA approval status: monotherapy;

combination with insulin, metformin, thiazolidinedione, -glucosidase inhibitors

Nonsulfonylurea Secretagogues

Nonsulfonylurea Secretagogues (Repaglinide or Nateglinide)

• Mechanism of action: increases pancreaticinsulin secretion

• Reported A1C reduction: 0.6%-1.9%• Advantages: targets postprandial glycemia, possibly

less hypoglycemia and weight gain than with sulfonylureas

• Disadvantages: 3-times daily dosing, hypoglycemia, weight gain, no long-term data, hyperinsulinemia (role uncertain)

Metformin (Glucophage®) • Usual starting dose is 500 mg b.i.d. or 850 mg q.d. given with meals

– Dosage increases should be made in increments of 500 mg weekly or 850 mg every 2 weeks up to 2000 mg q.d.

– Maximum daily dose of 2550 mg per day• doses > 2000 mg may be better tolerated given t.i.d. with meals

• Contraindications: renal disease or renal dysfunction*, congestive heart failure requiring pharmacologic treatment, known hypersensitivity to the drug, acute or chronic metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis with or without coma, temporarily discontinue in patients undergoing radiologic studies involving intravascular administration of iodinated contrast materials

• Warning: if lactic acidosis is suspected, the drug should be discontinued immediately and general supportive measures promptly instituted

• Precautions: monitoring of renal function, hypoxic states, surgical procedures, alcohol intake, impaired hepatic function, vitamin B12 levels, change in clinical status, hypoglycemia, loss of control of blood glucose

• Pregnancy category B

Thiazolidinediones

Thiazolidinediones• Mechanism of action: increased peripheral glucose disposal• Reported A1C reduction: 1.5%-1.6%• Advantages: reverses one of the primary defects of type 2

diabetes, no hypoglycemia, nonglycemic benefits (decreased lipid levels, increased fibrinolysis, decreased hyperinsulinemia, improved endothelial function), possible beta-cell preservation, convenient daily dosing

• Disadvantages: liver function test monitoring, weight gain, edema, slow onset of action, no long-term data

• FDA approval status: monotherapy; combination with insulin (pioglitazone only), sulfonylurea, metformin
