ADA-EASD Position Statement: Management of Hyperglycemia in T2DM

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. FUTURE DIRECTIONS / RESEARCH NEEDS

Comparative effectiveness research


Focus on important clinical outcomes

Contributions of genomic research Perpetual need for clinical judgment!

ADA-EASD Position Statement: Management of Hyperglycemia in T2DM

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.
