Current Concepts in Diabetes Treatment
A1C, glycated hemoglobin; CVD, cardiovascular disease; DSMES, diabetes self-management education and support; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; GLP-1 RA, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist; NPH, Neutral Protamine Hagedorn American Diabetes Association (ADA). Diabetes Care 2023 Jan; 46(Supplement 1):S150. Use Principles in Figure 9.3 including reinforcement of behavioral interventions (weight management and physical activity) and provision of DSMES to meet individualized treatment goals If injectable therapy is needed to reduce A1C 1 Consider GLP-1 RA or GIP/GLP-1RA in most patients prior to insulin 2 INITIATION: Initiate appropriate starting dose for agent selected (varies within class) TITRATION: Titration to maintenance dose (varies within class) If already on GLP-1 RA or dual GIP and GLP-1RA or if these are not appropriate OR insulin preferred If above A1C target Add basal insulin 3 Choice of basal insulin should be based on patient-specific considerations, including cost. Refer to Table 9.4 for insulin cost information. Consider prescri ption of glucagon for emergent hypoglycaemia . Add basal analog or bedtime NPH insulin INITIATION: Start 10 IU a day OR 0.1-0.2 IU/kg per day TITRATION: Set FPG target (see Section 6: Glycemic Targets) Choose evidence-based titration algorithm, e.g., increase 2 units every 3 days to reach FPG target without hypoglycaemia For hypoglycaemia determine cause, if no clear reason lower dose by 10-20% Assess adequacy of basal insulin dose 4 Consider clinical signals to evaluate for overbasalization and need to consider adjunctive therapies (e.g., basal dose >0.5 IU/kg, elevated bedtime-morning and/or post- preprandial differential, hypoglycaemia [aware or unaware], high variability) Consider insulin as the first injectable if evidence of ongoing catabolism, symptoms of hyperglycaemia are present, when A1C levels (>10% [86 mmol/mol]) or blood glucose levels ( ≥ 300 mg/dL [16.7 mmol/L]) are very high, or a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes is a possibility. When selecting GLP-1 RA, consider: patient preference, A1C lowering, weight-lowering effect, or frequency of injection. If CVD, consider GLP-1 RA with proven CVD benefit. Oral or injectable GLP-1 RA are appropriate. For patients on GLP-1 RA and basal insulin combination, consider use of a fixed-ratio combination product ( iDegLira or iGlarLixi ). Consider switching from evening NPH to a basal analog if the patient develops hypoglycaemia and/or frequently forgets to administer NPH in the evening and would be better managed with an AM dose of a long-acting basal insulin.

5. If adding prandial insulin to NPH, consider initiation of a self-mixed or premixed insulin regimen to decrease the number of injections required. A1C, glycated hemoglobin; FPG, fasting plasma glucose; GLP-1 RA, glucagon-like peptide 1 American Diabetes Association (ADA). Diabetes Care 2023 Jan; 46(Supplement 1):S150. If above A1C target and not already on GLP-1 RA or dual GIP and GLP-1RA, consider these classes, either in free combination or fixed-ratio combination, with insulin If A1C remain above target If on bedtime NPH, consider converting to twice-daily NPH regimen Conversion based on individual needs and current glycemic control. The following is one possible approach: INITIATION: Total dose = 80% of current bedtime NPH dose 2/3 given in the morning 1 /3 given at bedtime TITRATION: Titrate based on individualized needs Add prandial insulin 5 Usually one dose with the largest meal or meal with greatest PPG excursion; prandial insulin can be dosed individually or mixed with NPH as appropriate INITIATION: 4 IU a day or 10% of basal insulin dose If A1C <8% (64 mmol/mol) consider lowering the basal dose by 4 IU a day or 10% of basal dose TITRATION: Increase dose by 1-2 IU or 10-15% twice weekly For hypoglycaemia determine cause, if no clear reason lower corresponding dose by 10-20% If above A1C target If above A1C target Consider self-mixed/split insulin regimen Can adjust NPH and short/rapid-acting insulins separately INITIATION: Total NPH dose = 80% of current NPH dose 2/3 given before breakfast 1/3 given before dinner Add 4 IU of short/rapid-acting insulin to each injection or 10% of reduced NPH dose TITRATION: Titrate each component of the regimen based on individualized needs Consider twice daily premix insulin regimen INITIATION: Usually unit per unit at the same total insulin dose, but may require adjustment to individual needs TITRATION: Titrate based on individualized needs Stepwise additional injections of prandial insulin (i.e., two, then three additional injections) Proceed to full basal-bolus regimen (i.e., basal insulin and prandial insulin with each meal) 2023 ADA: Algorithm for intensifying to injectable therapies (2/2)

Oral hypoglycaemic agents (OHA) and basal insulin Metformin useful agent to continue in most patients Reduces insulin resistance Treats post- prandial hyperglycaemia No hypoglycaemia due to Metformin itself Continue at same dose
Suphonylureas and basal insulin Reduced to 50% maximum dose if using NPH at bedtime or premixed insulin at dinner To 25 % if using insulin analogues at bedtime
Other OHA Pioglitazone: usually discontinued at insulin commencement Increased risk of fluid retention But…. In young overweight patient maybe continued to help minimise the insulin dose Acarbose: can be continued if useful DPP4-inhibitors/SGLT2-inhibitors/GLP1-analoques: can be continued

4 Pharmacology of premixed insulin analogue
The dual-release insulin concept Garber et al. Diabetes Obes Metab 2007;9:630–9 Physiological insulin profile: Basal component Meal-related peaks Rapid-acting insulin analogues together with a basal insulin provide physiological insulin replacement Analogue mix insulins such as BIAsp 30 replace both meal-related and basal insulin BIAsp, biphasic insulin aspart Physiological insulin profile Protamine crystallised insulin aspart Soluble insulin aspart BIAsp 30 Schematic presentation
Insulin aspart Insulin aspart differs from human insulin by the single amino-acid substitution of a proline by an aspartic acid residue at B28 The B28 position is implicated in the formation of dimers but not implicated in pharmacological activity Insulin aspart is monomeric at pharmacological concentrations, allowing rapid absorption into the bloodstream Brange et al. Nature 1988;333:679–82 How is BIAsp 30 different from BHI 30? 30 % Protamine-crystallised insulin aspart Soluble insulin aspart BIAsp 30 A premixed suspension of: 30 % NPH insulin ( protaminated human insulin) BHI 30 BIAsp 30 70 % 70 % Regular human insulin BHI 30 A premixed suspension of: BIAsp 30 SPC. http://ec.europa.eu/health/documents/community-register/2000/200008013730/anx_3730_en.pdf BHI, biphasic human insulin; BIAsp, biphasic insulin aspart; NPH, neutral protamine Hagedorn
