Learning Objectives
1. Describe the role of diet, exercise, and patient education
in the treatment of diabetes
2. Know the mechanism of action, dosing schedule,
indications, percent A1c reduction, and side effects for
common medications to treat type 2 diabetes including
biguanides, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, alphaglucosidase inhibitors, incretins, and SGLT-2 inhibitors
3. Explain the clinical rationale for choosing a particular
medication to treat type 2 diabetes in terms of A1c
reduction, adverse effects, and co-morbidities
4. Differentiate key points in the treatment of type 1 and
type 2 diabetes

Who to call
Biguanide
Generic: Metformin
US Brand: Fortamet, Glucophage, Glucophage
XR, Glumetza, Riomet
MOA: decreases hepatic gluconeogenesis and
improves insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues
A1C lowering: 1.0-2.0%
Advantages: weight neutral, no hypoglycemia
Disadvantages: GI s/e (diarrhea, nausea, vomiting).
Contraindicated with serum creatinine 1.5 mg/dL in
males or 1.4 mg/dL in females. More recent studies
OK w/ Clcr down to 30 mL/minute w/ dose reduction <
45 mL/minute. Avoid use in patients with impaired liver
function due to potential for lactic acidosis.
Sulfonylurea
1st generation:
Acetohexamide
Chlorpropamide (Diabinese)
Tolbutamide (Orinase)
2nd generation:
Sulfonylurea
Thiazolidinediones
Pioglitazone - Actos
Rosiglitazone - Avandia
MOA: improves insulin sensitivity in
adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and liver
A1C lowering: 0.5-1.4%
Advantages: improved lipid profile (Pioglitazone), potential
decrease MI (Pioglitazone), no hypoglycemia
Disadvantages: fluid retention, CHF, weight gain, bone
fractures, bladder CA, potential to increase MI
(rosiglitazone)
SGLT-2 Inhibitors
Canagliflozin - Invokana
Dapagliflozin Farxiga
Empagliflozin Jardiance
MOA: blocks reabsorption of glucose by the kidney
A1C lowering: 0.7-1.0%
Advantages: weight loss and no hypoglycemia
Disadvantages: UTI, genital infections, increased urination,
intravascular volume contraction/symptomatic hypotension,
hyperkalemia, cannot use in renal impairment (contraindicated
GFR < 30 ml/min, not rec GFR <45-60 ml/min), euglycemic
DKA.
Incretins
Gut hormones that are secreted from enteroendocrine
cells into the blood within minutes of eating
Lipidsonline.org
DPP-IV inhibitors
Sitagliptin Januvia
Saxagliptin Onglyza
Linagliptin - Tradjenta
Alogliptin Nesina
MOA: glucose mediated insulin release, decreases
glucagon, slows gastric emptying
A1C lowering: 0.6-0.9%
Advantages: weight neutral, can use with renal
impairment, glucose dependent action, no hypoglycemia
Disadvantages: expensive (now covered on most plans)
Exenatide - Byetta
Liraglutide - Victoza
Exenatide Once Weekly - Bydureon
Albiglutide Tanzeum
Dulaglutide Trulicity
MOA: glucose mediated insulin release, suppresses
glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying, reduces food
intake
A1C lowering: 0.9-1.9%
Advantages: weight loss, glucose dependent action, no
hypoglycemia
Disadvantages: injections, GI s/e (nausea, vomiting),
expensive
