22. Combining Victoza with insulin Levemir:
summary
• Significant further improvements in glycaemic control
• Initial weight loss observed with Victoza+metformin was
maintained with Levemir
• Very low rate of hypoglycaemia
This study supports the treatment approach:

Metformin+Victoza+Levemir
23. Take Home Messages
• Need to tailor treatment to patient
• Early treatment with GLP-1 (after metformin) is effective
in reducing A1c and weight with no risk for hypoglycaemia
• Need of polypharmacy
• Combining GLP-1 with basal insulin has a positive
synergistic effect
• Victoza and Levemir combination proved further
improvement in A1c, weight and low risk for
hypoglycaeima

Development and Progression of Type 2 Diabetes and Related Complications
Both insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction start early – and well before diabetes is diagnosed – leading to rises in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and postprandial glucose (PPG) levels
This conceptual diagram shows a proposed paradigm on the development and progression of pathophysiology in type 2 diabetes1
The horizontal axis in the figure shows the years before and after diagnosis of diabetes
Insulin resistance begins years before diagnosis. Insulin resistance rises during disease development and continues to rise during impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Over time, insulin resistance remains stable during the progression of type 2 diabetes1
The insulin secretion rate increases to compensate for the decrease in insulin effectiveness due to insulin resistance. β-cell function can decrease even as insulin secretion increases. At the time of diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and 6 years afterward about 50% and 73% of β-cell function have been lost, respectively.2 Over time, β-cell compensatory function deteriorates and insulin secretion decreases. β-cell function progressively fails1,2
Initially, FPG is maintained in near-normal ranges. The pancreatic β cells compensate by increasing insulin levels, leading to hyperinsulinaemia. This compensation keeps glucose levels normalised for a time, but as β cells begin to fail, IGT develops with mild post-prandial hyperglycaemia. As the disease progresses, the β cells continue to fail, resulting in higher PPG levels. With continued loss of insulin secretory capacity, fasting glucose and hepatic glucose production increase1
Once β cells cannot secrete sufficient insulin to maintain normal glycaemia at the fasting or post-prandial stage, type 2 diabetes (hyperglycaemia) becomes evident
Insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction are established well before type 2 diabetes is diagnosed1

Ultimately, more intensive insulin regimens may be required (see Figure 3.)
Dashed arrow line on the left-hand side of the figure denotes the option of a more rapid progression from a 2-drug combination directly to multiple daily insulin doses, in those patients with severe hyperglycaemia (e.g. HbA1c ≥10.0-12.0%).
Consider beginning with insulin if patient presents with severe hyperglycemia (≥300-350 mg/dl [≥16.7-19.4 mmol/l]; HbA1c ≥10.0-12.0%) with or without catabolic features (weight loss, ketosis, etc).
Some older therapies have been associated with1–5:
Weight gain
Hypoglycaemia
Oedema
The ideal 2L agent would have:
High efficacy in reducing HbA1c
Low risk of hypoglycaemia
Contribute to weight loss
HbA1c, glycosylated haemoglobin

The unique weight-sparing benefit of detemir emerges when all the weight data from the treat to target studies are viewed together.
Study designs:
Philis-Tsimikas et al. 2006
This 20-week, multicenter, randomised, open-label, three-arm, parallel-group trial was conducted at 91 centres across Europe and the United States.
Men and women were eligible for participation if they were aged ≥18 years, had a BMI &lt;40 kg/m2, had a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes of at least 12 months&apos; duration, and were insulin-naϊve. Eligible patients also had an HbA1c concentration value not outside the range of 7.5–11.0% following at least 3 months&apos; treatment with one or more OADs. Patients were randomly assigned to receive an evening subcutaneous injection of detemir, a pre-breakfast injection of detemir or an evening injection of NPH insulin (1:1:1), administered at initial doses of 10 IU (U).
Hermansen et al. 2006
Individuals (n=476) with HbA1c 7.5–10.0% were randomised to addition of twice-daily insulin detemir or NPH insulin in a parallel-group, multicentre trial. Over 24 weeks, insulin doses were titrated toward pre-breakfast and pre-dinner plasma glucose targets of 6.0 mmol/L (108 mg/dL). Outcomes assessed included HbA1c, percentage achieving HbA1c 7.0%, risk of hypoglycaemia and body weight.
Riddle et al. 2003
In a randomised, open-label, parallel, 24-week multicentre trial, 756 overweight men and women with inadequate glycaemic control (HbA1c 7.5%) on one or two oral agents continued pre-study oral agents and received bedtime glargine or NPH once daily, titrated using a simple algorithm seeking a target FPG 100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L). Outcome measures were FPG, HbA1c, hypoglycaemia and percentage of patients reaching HbA1c 7% without documented nocturnal hypoglycaemia.
Rosenstock et al. 2008
Insulin-naϊve adults (n=582, HbA1c 7.5–10.0%, BMI ≤40.0 kg/m2) were randomised 1:1 to receive insulin detemir or glargine once daily (evening) actively titrated to target FPG ≤6.0 mmol/L. An additional morning insulin detemir dose was permitted if pre-dinner plasma glucose (PG) was &gt;7.0 mmol/L after achieving FPG &lt;7.0 mmol/L. Due to labelling restrictions, no second glargine dose was allowed.
Speaker notes
There is growing concern that the weight gain induced by most diabetes medications diminishes their clinical benefit. Treating diabetes with medications that are weight-neutral, induce weight loss or reduce weight gain may emerge as the future direction for treating overweight and obese patients with diabetes.
Insulin, in most of its forms, has been associated with weight gain, an estimated 50% of which is seen during its first 3 months of use.
Evidence for insulin detemir consistently shows a weight benefit in terms of loss or reduced gain when compared to NPH or glargine in RCTs up to 12 months of intervention.
