Case #1
• 42 y/o hispanic female with hx of GDM 6
years ago, term 10lb 5 oz male infant
• Has not been seen for follow-up in 3
years
• FBS done at annual pap/px is 149
Does this patient have type 2 diabetes?
What next?
Case #1
• Diagnosis of diabetes generally
requires 2 abnormal values
• Patient is at high risk for developing
type 2 diabetes
• GDM is a pre-diabetes condition
Repeat FBS 3 days later…….
Case #1
• Repeat FBS 135
• Dx: Type 2 diabetes
- FBS >126 on 2 separate occasions
- Could have done an A1C as well
• What should be done next for this
patient?

Diabetes Care 34:Supplement 1, 2011
Case #1
• Patient had tubal ligation after last
delivery
• Start Metformin 500mg BID, advance to
850-1000 mg BID
• Most newly diagnosed patients should
start Metformin
(current ADA
recommendation)
Case #1
• Diabetes Educator and Dietician
• SMBG
• Lifestyle (for now) for BP and lipids
• Make a list of activity, try to start with
10 min/day, work up to 150 min/week
Case #2
• 54 y/o white male
• Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes after
2 fasting blood sugars of 154 and 142
and A1C of 6.8
• Pre-existing HTN and dyslipidemia
Case #2
•
•
•
•
Cholesterol 240 (<200)
TG’s
205 (<150)
HDL
30 (>40)
LDL
129 (<100)
Case Study #2
• Started Metformin 500 mg BID
• BP, cholesterol tx with statin and ACEI
(need titration), could add fish oil, on ASA
• Referred to Diabetes Educator and
Dietician
• Recommend developing graduated
exercise plan (exercise prescription)
• Six months after diagnosis A1C = 6.8%
(target <7%)
Case Study #2
• Three years later, patients A1C
has risen to 8.4% (target <7%)
• Blood pressure and cholesterol
effectively treated
(ACEI, HCTZ, Simvistatin, Fish Oil)
• Now what?
Case Study #2
• Choices include
– Adding a basal insulin once daily
– Adding any other oral agent
– Adding exenatide or liraglutide
• Any of these are good choices
• Choice may be made on individual factors
• Reinforce lifestyle management
Case Study #2
• Basal insulin
– Advantages: Once-daily, comes in pen,
easy, likely good results,
durable over time
– Disadvantages: potential hypoglycemia
(not difficult to manage/avoid), weight
gain, likely will need combo with another
insulin later (not a difficult transition)
Case Study #2
• Additional oral agent
–Advantages: Easy
–Disadvantages: eventually lose
effectiveness, weight gain
(sulfonylureas, TZD’s)
Case Study #2
• Other injectable
(exenatide or liraglutide)
–Advantages: Comes in pen, easy,
may have weight loss
–Disadvantages: eventually lose
effectiveness, nausea, vomiting
Case Study #2
 Patient chose additional oral agent
(sitagliptin)
 A1C:
 6 months later = 7.4% (target <7%)
 3 years later = 8.1% (target <7%)
 Basal insulin eventually started once daily
 Sitagliptin continued
 Metformin continued
Case #3
• 62 y/o caucasian female dx with
DM 2 18 months ago
• Metformin 1000 mg BID
• Very active, swims 5 days a
week, uses stairmaster
Case #3
• PMH:
breast cancer, hypothyroidism,
sleep apnea, dyslipidemia, HTN,
microalbuminuria
• Physical Exam:
s/p mastectomies, BP 136/82,
P 72, BMI 36
Case #3
•
•
•
•
Medications:
Valsartan/HCT 160/12.5 mg daily
Metformin 1000 mg BID
Atorvastatin 40mg daily
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Folic acid
Calcium + D 3 tablets daily
Fluticasone
Glucosamine/Chondroitin
Pantoprazole 40 mg daily
Levothyroid150 mcg daily
ASA 81 mg daily
Case #3
• Lab A1C 6 months ago= 6.7,
Now 7.6
CBC, Chem panel unremarkable
• Lipids, BP treated to target
• What now?
Case #3
• Started on Exenatide (Byetta)
5 mcg SQ BID x 30 days,
advance to 10 mcg SQ BID
(Liraglutide (Victoza) OK too
• GLP 1 can be used with Glyburide,
Metformin, TZD’s, (insulin data)
• A1C 6 months after start= 6.8
Case #4
• 87 y/o white female resident admitted to
LTC facility
• Type 2 Diabetes for 20 years
• PMH: HTN, dyslipidemia, mild dementia,
hypothyroidism, CVA,
CHF
Stage 3 CKD (GFR 37, Creatinine 1.0)
Case #4
Current meds:
• Metformin 500 mg BID
• Glyburide 5 mg BID
• Lisinopril 10mg daily
• Furosemide 20 mg daily
• ASA 81 mg daily
• Simivistatin 20mg daily
Case #4
• Lipids adequately treated
• BP 142/86
• A1C 9.0
What is appropriate for this patient?
Case #4
• Metformin, sulfonylurea NOT
good choices >80 y/o, or declining
renal function
• Metformin NOT good choice with
CHF risk or history
Case Study #4
• BP abnormalhigh risk of recurrent CVA
• Lipids- Evidence show benefit of
treating to age 85, case by case
Case #4
• A1C = 8.0 appropriate for this age group
-less risk of hypoglycemia vs. lower A1C
(demented poor at reporting symptoms)
-better alertness than higher A1C
-less urinary incontinence than
higher A1C
Case Study #4
• BP: Increase Lisinopril to 20mg,
monitor creatinine and K+
• Lipids: Continue present
(patient desired Rx)
• DM: ?
Case #4
Choices for Treatment of DM in elderly
• Single injection of basal insulin once daily
OR
• Gliptin (sitagliptin or saxagliptin)
Both have low risk of significant
hypoglycemia, can be renally dosed, easy
to use, few significant drug interactions
Case Study #4
• Started on basal insulin
(detemir or glargine)
8 units with evening meal
(patient likely has little beta cell function)
• Metformin stopped
• Glyburide stopped
• A1C 3 months later 8.2
Elderly Diabetes Patients
• Sulfonylureas and Metformin generally
NOT good choices (renal)
• TZD’s may be limited by CHF history or
risk
• DPP-IV inhibitors may be good choice
-renal dosing,hypoglycemia rare
• Insulin, particularly basal, may be optimum

Summary
• Patients have different
requirements depending on
diabetes status
• Many choices exist to
individualize treatment
• Reinforce lifestyle, treat blood
sugar, lipids, BP
