1. Patient-Centered Approach
...providing care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values - ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.
Gauge patients preferred level of involvement. Explore, where possible, therapeutic choices. Utilize decision aids. Shared decision making final decisions re: lifestyle choices
ultimately lies with the patient.

3. ANTI-HYPERGLYCEMIC THERAPY
Glycemic targets
- HbA1c < 7.0% (mean PG 150-160 mg/dl [8.3-8.9 mmol/l]) - Pre-prandial PG <130 mg/dl (7.2 mmol/l) - Post-prandial PG <180 mg/dl (10.0 mmol/l) - Individualization is key:
Tighter targets (6.0 - 6.5%) - younger, healthier Looser targets (7.5 - 8.0%+) - older, comorbidities, hypoglycemia prone, etc.
- Avoidance of hypoglycemia
PG = plasma glucose

4. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Age Weight Sex / racial / ethnic / genetic differences Comorbidities
Coronary artery disease Heart Failure Chronic kidney disease Liver dysfunction Hypoglycemia
4. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Age: Older adults
Reduced life expectancy Higher CVD burden Reduced GFR At risk for adverse events from polypharmacy More likely to be compromised from hypoglycemia
Less ambitious targets HbA1c <7.58.0% if tighter targets not easily achieved Focus on drug safety
Diabetes Care, Diabetologia. 19 April 2012 [Epub ahead of print]
4. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Weight
Majority of T2DM patients overweight / obese Intensive lifestyle program Metformin GLP-1 receptor agonists ? Bariatric surgery Consider LADA in lean patients
4. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Sex/ethnic/racial/genetic differences
- Little is known - MODY & other monogenic forms of diabetes - Latinos: more insulin resistance - East Asians: more beta cell dysfunction - Gender may drive concerns about adverse effects (e.g., bone loss from TZDs)
4. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Comorbidities
- Coronary Disease - Heart Failure - Renal disease - Liver dysfunction - Hypoglycemia Metformin: CVD benefit (UKPDS) Avoid hypoglycemia ? SUs & ischemic preconditioning ? Pioglitazone & CVD events ? Effects of incretin-based therapies
4. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Comorbidities
- Coronary Disease - Heart Failure - Renal disease - Liver dysfunction - Hypoglycemia Metformin: May use unless condition is unstable or severe Avoid TZDs ? Effects of incretin-based therapies
4. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Comorbidities
- Coronary Disease - Heart Failure - Renal disease - Liver dysfunction - Hypoglycemia Increased risk of hypoglycemia Metformin & lactic acidosis US: stop @SCr 1.5 (1.4 women) UK: dose @GFR <45 & stop @GFR <30 Caution with SUs (esp. glyburide) DPP-4-is dose adjust for most Avoid exenatide if GFR <30
4. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Comorbidities
- Coronary Disease - Heart Failure - Renal disease - Liver dysfunction - Hypoglycemia Most drugs not tested in advanced liver disease Pioglitazone may help steatosis Insulin best option if disease severe
4. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Comorbidities
- Coronary Disease - Heart Failure - Renal disease - Liver dysfunction - Hypoglycemia Emerging concerns regarding association with increased mortality Proper drug selection in the hypoglycemia prone

KEY POINTS
Glycemic targets & BG-lowering therapies must individualized.
Diet, exercise, & education: foundation of any T2DM therapy education program Unless contraindicated, metformin = optimal 1st-line drug. After metformin, data are limited. Combination therapy with 1-2 other oral / injectable agents is reasonable; minimize side effects. Ultimately, many patients will require insulin therapy alone / in combination with other agents to maintain BG control. All treatment decisions should be made in conjunction with the patient (focus on preferences, needs & values.) Comprehensive CV risk reduction - a major focus of therapy.
