INTRODUCTION Diabetes mellitus refers to a group of metabolic disorders that share a common phenotype of hyperglycemia - Harrison’s Principles of internal medicine 4types- Type 1- IDDM Type 2 -NIDDM Type 3- Other specific types Type 4 – Gestational DM Insulin was the first peptide hormone discovered . Frederick Banting and Charles Herbert Best , working in the laboratory of J.J.R. Macleod at the University of Toronto, were the first to isolate insulin from dog pancreas in 1921.
New insulins Detemir: Long acting: DOA <24 Hour Onset: 1-2 hour Less frequent hypoglycemia Minimum weight gain Degludec : Long acting DOA>24 hour; 3times a week
New insulins Neutral protamine lispro: Intermediate acting Reported more weight gain and hypoglycemia HIM-2: In phase 3 trails Oral insulin Enhanced stability and resistance to intestinal degradation
New insulins Oral insulin spray: In Phase 3 trial Liquid aerosol mist Absorbed through mucus membrane
New insulins Bioavailability – 20% Patient training is important Exubera : Withdrawn in 2007 because of pulmonary fibrosis and risk of lung cancer Afrezza : Approved In 2014 Rapid acting inhaled insulin Not suitable for ketoacidosis Side effect : Hypoglycemia, cough, throat pain and irritation
New insulin delivery system Pen device Insulin pump Continuous SC insulin infusion
Incretin based therapy Incretin: GI hormone Released after meal; increase insulin biosynthesis and release Examples: GLP1,GIP Metabolized by DPP IV- short half life DPP IV resistant GLP1 agonist are useful for therapy DPP IV inhibitor are useful for therapy
Increase glucose dependent insulin secretion Control PP Show good efficacy as monotherapy but are not first line agents Used as adjuvant Incretin mimetics Exenatide (5-10mcg BD), Liraglutide (0.6-1.8mg OD), Albiglutide (30-50 mg weekly), Semaglutide (oral)
Mechanism of action: Act on GLP1 receptor (GPCR) Activate cAMP-PKA pathway and also signaling via PKC & PI3K Increase insulin synthesis and release In CNS (GLP1 receptor) - food intake affected, Gastric emptying, nausea GLP1 agonist
Side effect Nausea Anorexia – weight loss Pancreatitis Only injectables –SC (except semaglutide-2019) No risk of hypoglycemia Liraglutide: black box warning- risk of thyroid carcinoma Exenatide: avoid in pancreatitis predisposed patients GLP1 agonist
Inhibit metabolism of incretins (GLP1, GIP) DPP IV enzyme is responsible for metabolism of incretins which increase insulin release. No effect on weight Increase risk of heart failure with saxagliptin and Alogliptin DPP IV inhibitors Sitagliptin (100mg OD), Vildagliptin (50 mg OD/BD), Saxagliptin (5mg/day), Linagliptin (5mg/day), Alogliptin (25mg/day)
Approved in 2005 Act on amylin receptor in hind brain Inhibit glucagon secretion Delay gastric emptying Decrease appetite Subcutaneously before meals Used in both T1 and T2 DM Added to decrease insulin requirement Should not be mixed in same syringe - different pH Risk of hypoglycemia with insulin Pregnancy category C Amylin mimetics Pramlintide (T1: 15-0 mcg/day; T2: 60-120 mcg/day)
PPAR agonist- this increases insulin sensitivity and decrease resistance to insulin (insulin sensitizers) Decrease gluconeogenesis Increase GLUT-4 transporter Onset is slow:1- 3 months to achieve euglycemia PPAR γ agonist Pioglitazone (15- 45 mg/ day OD)
Increase HDL Decrease Triglycerides Weight gain and edema (fluid retention) Anemia due to hemodilution Hepatotoxic High incidence of heart failure Pioglitazone is associated with bladder cancer Avoid in osteoporosis PPAR γ agonist Pioglitazone (15- 45 mg/ day OD)
Inhibit glucose reabsorption thereby increasing glucose excretion Urinary tract infection Sodium loss in urine – decrease BP by 2-4 mm Hg Low risk of hypoglycaemia Increase risk of fracture – affect PTH, vitamin D SGLT 2 inhibitors Dapagliflozin (8-10mg/day), Canagliflozin (100-300mg/day), Empagliflozin (10-25mg/day)
SGLT 2 inhibitors Remogliflozin – in phase 2 clinical trials Tofogliflozin – in phase 3 clinical trials
Bromocriptine ( 1.6 - 4.8 mg) Approved in 2009 for diabetes D 2 agonist Effects on blood glucose and may reflect an action in the CNS Side effects: Nausea, vomiting Fatigue, headache Dizziness Orthostatic hypotension
Colesevelam Approved for Type 2 diabetes as an adjunct to diet and exercise Mechanism: not established Reduce intestinal glucose absorption Dose : 625-mg tablets are available 3 tablets twice daily before lunch and dinner OR 6 tablets prior to the patient’s largest meal
