- Classification of diabetes and treatment approaches, including standard versus intensive insulin therapy.
- Other anti-diabetic drugs like Amylin analogs, Incretin mimetics, Sulfonylureas, Meglitinides, Biguanides and Thiazolidinediones.
Diabetes mellitus refers to a group of diseases that affect how the body uses blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is an important source of energy for the cells that make up the muscles and tissues.
This document summarizes different drugs used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. It discusses the mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics and adverse effects of various classes of drugs including insulin, sulfonylureas, meglitinides, biguanides, thiazolidinediones, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, incretin therapies like DPP-4 inhibitors, SGLT2 inhibitors, amylin analogs, and newer dual PPAR agonists. It also compares standard versus intensive glucose treatment goals and monitoring for diabetes.
The document summarizes insulin therapy for diabetes mellitus. It describes the cells in the pancreas that secrete insulin and other hormones. It details the discovery and purification of insulin in the 1920s which revolutionized treatment of diabetes. The document discusses different insulin formulations including short-acting and long-acting types. It explains factors that affect insulin absorption and common dosing regimens for insulin therapy.
The document discusses various aspects of antidiabetic drugs including:
- Insulin is produced in the pancreatic beta cells and helps regulate blood glucose levels. It exists as two chains and is processed from proinsulin. Insulin secretion is stimulated by glucose and other factors.
- Other pancreatic hormones that regulate blood glucose include glucagon, somatostatin, pancreatic peptide, and ghrelin.
- Diabetes mellitus occurs when there is not enough insulin or when cells ignore insulin signals. The main types are type 1 caused by beta cell destruction and type 2 caused by insulin resistance and relative deficiency.
- Common antidiabetic drug classes include insulin, sulfonylureas, me
This document summarizes different drugs used for treating diabetes. It discusses the types of diabetes, mechanisms and types of insulin preparations including rapid-acting, intermediate-acting, and long-acting insulins. It also covers oral antidiabetic drugs like sulfonylureas, meglitinides, DPP-4 inhibitors, metformin, thiazolidinediones, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, and SGLT-2 inhibitors; describing their mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetics and adverse effects.

Insulin therapy involves various types of insulin preparations that aim to mimic the body's natural insulin secretion. Short-acting insulins like regular insulin have an onset of 30-60 minutes while rapid-acting analogs like aspart and lispro have an onset of 5-15 minutes. Intermediate-acting NPH insulin has an onset of 2 hours. Long-acting basal insulins like glargine and detemir aim to provide consistent insulin levels and have onset times of 2 hours with durations of 12-24 hours. Newer ultra-long acting insulins like degludec last over 40 hours with the goal of reducing hypoglycemia risk and glycemic variability compared to earlier insulin types.
This document discusses insulin therapy, including its pharmacodynamics, mechanisms of action, types of insulin, insulin regimens, administration techniques, side effects, and patient education. Insulin is secreted by the pancreas and lowers blood glucose levels by facilitating glucose uptake into cells. It acts on the liver, muscle, adipose tissue, and other organs. Types include rapid, short, intermediate and long-acting insulins. Patient education focuses on proper administration, storage, monitoring, hypoglycemia treatment, and lifestyle factors.

Here are the steps I would take to switch Alin from glargine U100 to degludec:
1. Calculate Alin's total daily insulin dose (TDD) as glargine 8 units + aspart 12 units = 20 units or 0.88 units/kg
2. Start degludec at 30-50% of the TDD, which is 0.26-0.44 units/kg. For Alin, this would be 6-10 units.
3. Start degludec at 6 units once daily, any time of the day.
4. Continue aspart doses with meals.
5. Adjust doses based on BG levels over next 1

2. Insulin
• During normal postabsorptive
period, constant β-cell secretion
maintains low basal levels of
circulating insulin.
• This suppresses lipolysis,
proteolysis, and glycogenolysis.
• A burst of insulin secretion occurs
within 2 minutes after ingesting a
meal, in response to transient
increases in circulating glucose and
amino acids.
• This lasts for up to 15 minutes,
followed by the postprandial
secretion of insulin
2
3. Regulation of Insulin Secretion
• Secretion is most often triggered by increased blood glucose.
• Glucose is taken up by the glucose transporter into the β cells of the
pancreas.
• There, it is metabolized to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
• The rise in ATP levels causes
a blockade of K+ channels,
leading to membrane
depolarization and an influx
of Ca2+.
• The increase in intracellular
Ca2+ causes pulsatile insulin
exocytosis
3
4. Factors affecting
secretion of Insulin
and physiological
effects of insulin
4
GIP: glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (Gastric inhibitory polypeptide)
5. Diabetes mellitus (DM)
• DM is characterized by elevated glucose
levels due to absolute or relative lack of
insulin functionality
• Classification:
– Type 1, Type 2, gestational & diabetes
due to other causes
• Type 1 diabetes :
– -cell failure due to massive necrosis
– May be autoimmune, viral or chemical
induced
– Classic symptoms of insulin deficiency
– Treatment: Insulin dependent
– Untreated: Life-threatening diabetic
ketoacidosis
5
6. Diabetes mellitus
• Type 2 diabetes - Gradual -cell deterioration
– Influenced by genetic factors, aging, obesity &
peripheral insulin resistance.
– Early stages: High levels of insulin, particularly
in obese patients (insulin resistance)
– Late-stage: the -cell mass gradually decline
over time, thus require insulin therapy
6
8. Glycosylated hemoglobin Hb-A1c
– Used to monitor the plasma glucose concentration over prolonged
periods of time (4-6 weeks).
– Normal mean blood glucose is approximately 115 mg/dL or less (HbA1c
< 5.7%)
8
9. Insulin and insulin analogues
• Not active orally.
• Insulin is inactivated by insulinase (insulin transhydrogenase ) found
mainly in liver and kidney.
• Insulin burst within 2 min, lasts for 15 min, then postprandial insulin
secretion
• Dose reduced in renal insufficiency
9
12. Side effects of insulin
• Hypoglycemia is the most serious and common adverse reaction to
insulin.
12
13. Side effects of Insulin
• Hypoglycemia is the most serious and common adverse reaction to
insulin (can result in Seizures and Coma)
• Other adverse reactions include: weight gain, local injection site
reactions, and lipodystrophy.
• Lipodystrophy can be minimized by rotation of injection sites.
Insulin-induced Lipodystrophy
13
14. Insulin and insulin analogues
• Human insulin is produced by recombinant DNA technology
• Modification of the amino acid sequence of human insulin produces
insulins with different pharmacokinetic properties (onset and duration
of action).
• Insulin preparations vary primarily in their onset and duration of action.
• Factors influencing the onset and duration of action:
Dose, injection site, blood supply, temperature, and physical activity.
14
15. Insulin preparations
• Rapid acting insulin : Aspart, Lispro (Humalog®), Glulisine, Human insulin (Actrapid®)
• Short acting insulin: Regular (Humulin R®)
• Intermediate acting insulin: NPH (isophane) and Lente (insulin zinc)
• Long acting insulin: Glargine (Lantus®), Detimir, Protamine—zinc and Ultralente
Mixtard ®: Regular and intermediate-acting (isophane) insulin

17. Rapid-acting and short-acting insulin preparations
• Rapid- or short-acting insulins are administered to mimic the prandial
(mealtime) release of insulin and to control postprandial glucose.
• They may also be used in cases where swift correction of elevated glucose
is needed.
• Rapid- and short-acting insulins are usually used in conjunction with a
longer-acting basal insulin that provides control of fasting glucose.
17
18. Rapid-acting and short-acting insulin preparations
• Regular insulin should be injected SC 30 minutes before a meal, whereas
rapid-acting insulins are administered in the 15 minutes proceeding a
meal or within 15 to 20 minutes after starting a meal.
• Rapid-acting insulins are commonly used in external insulin pumps, and
they are suitable for IV administration.
• Regular insulin is most commonly used when the IV route is needed.

19. Rapid-acting and short-acting insulin preparations
—
Inhaled Insulin Afrezza
• FDA has approved an inhaled
insulin in June 2014
• Rapid-acting insulin taken before
each meal, or soon after starting
to eat, with no needles required
• Onset of action:12-15 minutes
• Peaks in 15 to 20 minutes
• —
Duration of action 2.5-3 hrs
19
20. Intermediate-acting insulin
• Neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) (isophane) insulin is an intermediate-
acting insulin formed by the addition of zinc and protamine to regular
insulin.
• It has less solubility, thus delayed absorption and a longer duration of
action.
• It is used for basal (fasting) control in type 1 or 2 diabetes and is usually
given along with rapid- or short-acting insulin for mealtime control.
• It should be given only subcutaneously (never IV)
• It should not be used when rapid glucose lowering is needed (for example,
diabetic ketoacidosis).
20
21. Long-acting insulin preparations
• Insulin Glargine: has a slower onset than NPH insulin and a flat, prolonged
hypoglycemic effect with no peak
• Insulin Detemir (association to albumin): Slow dissociation from albumin
results in long-acting properties similar to those of insulin Glargine
• Both are used for basal control and should only be administered
subcutaneously.
• Neither long-acting insulins should be mixed in the same syringe with
other insulins
21
22. Ultra long-acting basal insulin analogue
Insulin degludec (Tresiba)
• It is administered via subcutaneous injection.
• Onset of action: 30–90 minutes.
• Duration of action: up to 40 hours
• It can be given daily or two to three-times a week
22
23. Ultra long-acting basal insulin analogue
Insulin degludec (Tresiba)
• It has one single amino acid deleted in comparison to human insulin
• Conjugated to hexadecanedioic acid via gamma-L-glutamyl spacer at the
amino acid lysine at position B29.
• This allows for the formation of multi-hexamers in subcutaneous tissues
• There is no peak in activity, due to the slow release into systemic
circulation.
23
24. Insulin combinations
• Examples of premixed combinations: 70% NPH insulin plus 30% regular
insulin, or 50% of each.
• Advantages of premixed combinations: decreases the number of daily
injections
• Disadvantage: difficult to adjust individual components of the insulin
regimen.

26. Standard treatment versus intensive treatment
• Standard insulin therapy: involves twice-daily injections.
• Intensive insulin therapy: utilizes three or more injections daily with
frequent monitoring of blood glucose levels.
• The recommended target mean blood glucose level of 154 mg/dL or less
(HbA1c ≤ 7%)
• Intensive treatment is more likely to achieve this goal.
26
27. Standard treatment versus intensive treatment
• The frequency of hypoglycemic episodes, coma, and seizures is higher
with intensive insulin regimens.
• Patients on intensive therapy show a significant reduction in microvascular
complications of diabetes such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and
neuropathy compared to patients receiving standard care.
27
28. Standard treatment versus intensive treatment
• Intensive therapy should not be recommended for patients with
long-standing diabetes
significant microvascular complications
advanced age
those with hypoglycemic unawareness
28
29. Synthetic Amylin analog: Pramlintide
• Amylin is a peptide produced by beta cells and co-secreted with insulin.
• Pharmacological (physiological) Effects:
Inhibits glucagon secretion
delay gastric emptying
suppress appetite
decreases postprandial glucagon secretion
improves satiety
• Indication: an adjunct to mealtime insulin therapy in patients with Type 1 or
Type 2 diabetes.

30. Synthetic Amylin analog: Pramlintide
• Administration of Pramlintide: subcutaneous injection immediately prior to
meals.
• When pramlintide is initiated, the dose of rapid- or short-acting insulin should
be decreased by 50% prior to meals to avoid a risk of severe hypoglycemia.
• Adverse effects: are mainly GI and consist of nausea, anorexia, and vomiting.
30
31. Incretin mimetics
• Oral glucose results in a higher secretion of insulin than occurs when an
equal load of glucose is given IV.
• This effect is referred to as the “incretin effect” and is markedly reduced in
type 2 diabetes.
• The incretin effect occurs because the gut releases incretin hormones,
notably glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent
insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) in response to a meal.
• GLP-1 is rapidly inactivated by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4)
31
32. Incretin mimetics
• Incretin hormones are responsible for 60% to 70% of postprandial insulin
secretion.
• Exenatide and Liraglutide are injectable incretin mimetics used for the
treatment of type 2 diabetes.
• Must be administered subcutaneously.
• Indication: Adjunct to therapy in patients with Type 2 diabetes who have
failed to achieve adequate glycemic control on oral hypoglycemic agents.
• Exenatide has a shorter duration of action
32
33. Mechanism of action and pharmacological effects
of Incretin mimetics
• Analogs of GLP-1 that exert their activity by acting as GLP-1 receptor
agonists.
• Pharmacological effects:
1. Improve glucose-dependent insulin secretion
2. Slow gastric emptying time
3. Reduce food intake by enhancing satiety (a feeling of fullness)
4. Decrease postprandial glucagon secretion by α-cells
5. Promote β-cell proliferation
• Consequently, weight gain and postprandial hyperglycemia are reduced,
and HbA1c levels decline
33
34. Adverse effects of Incretin mimetics
• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhea, and constipation
• Associated with pancreatitis
34
36. Sulfonylureas
• Insulin secretagoues: They induce insulin secretion
• Three generations:
First generation : Acetohexamide, Chlorpropamide, Tolbutamide,
Tolazamide (no longer used)
Second generation : Glipizide, Glyburide (Glibenclamide)
Third generation : Glimiperide (more potent, more efficacious ,
fewer adverse effects).
36
37. Mechanism of action of Sulfonylureas
• They may reduce hepatic glucose production and increase peripheral
insulin sensitivity.
37
38. Adverse effects of Sulfonylureas
• Hyperinsulinemia and Hypoglycemia
• Cholestatic jaundice
• Weight gain
• Cross placenta – fetal hypoglycemia
Notes: Glyburide has minimal transfer across the placenta and may be an
alternative to insulin for diabetes in pregnancy.
Use with caution in hepatic or renal insufficiency to avoid
accumulation
38
40. Meglitinides (glinides)
Repaglinide, Nateglinide :
• Insulin enhancers with shorter duration than sulfonylurea (mealtime
anti-diabetic drugs)
• These are insulin secretagogues that act by blocking ATP-dependent K+
channels.
• This leads to increased insulin secretion by pancreatic β-cells.
• Hypoglycemia is the common adverse effect.
• Less weight gain
• The drug has minimal renal excretion thus useful in patients with DM
and impaired renal function.
40
41. Meglitinides (glinides)
Repaglinide, Nateglinide :
• By inhibiting hepatic metabolism, the lipid-lowering drug Gemfibrozil
may significantly increase the effects of repaglinide, and concurrent use
is contraindicated.
• These agents should be used with caution in patients with hepatic
impairment
41
42. Biguanides (Metformin)
• Pharmacological actions:
– Insulin sensitizer: It increase the sensitivity of liver and muscle to insulin
(increase uptake of glucose)
– Inhibits glucose output (gluconeogenesis)
– Slows intestinal absorption of sugars
– Does not promote insulin secretion
– It causes modest weight loss: loss of appetite
– It does not cause hypoglycemia.
– It produces a significant ↓TG and LDL, and ↑HDL.
42
43. Biguanides (Metformin)
• Contraindicated for patients with renal dysfunction due to the risk of
lactic acidosis.
• It should be discontinued in disorders that can cause acute renal failure:
e.g. acute MI, exacerbation of heart failure and sepsis.
• Metformin should be used with caution in patients older than 80 years
and in those with heart failure.
• Should be temporarily discontinued in patients undergoing procedures
requiring IV radiographic contrast
43
44. Other uses of Metformin
• Metformin is effective in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome
• It lowers insulin resistance seen in this disorder and can result in
ovulation and, therefore, possibly pregnancy
44
45. Side effects of Metformin
• Asthenia (Weakness and lack of energy)
• Myalgia
• GI: flatulence diarrhea, discomfort, Nausea & vomiting, heartburn,
dyspepsia
• Vitamin B-12 deficiency
• Increase risk of hypoglycemia when given with insulin secretagogues.
45
47. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) (glitazones)
• Pioglitazone , Rosiglitazone
• Insulin sensitizers
• Enhance sensitivity to insulin in muscle and fat by increasing the GLUT 4
glucose transporters.
• Enhance glucose and lipid metabolism through action on Peroxisome
Proliferator Activated Receptor (PPAR–γ)
• Beneficial effects on serum lipid; ↓TG and ↑HDL.
47
48. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) (glitazones)
• TZDs do not promote insulin release from the β cells, so hyperinsulinemia
is not a risk.
• Troglitazone, was withdrawn in 1990s from the market due to an
increased incidence of drug-induced hepatitis.
• Pioglitazone , Rosiglitazone: suspended from the EU market due to
elevated cardiovascular risks
• The main side effect of all thiazolidinediones is water retention, leading to
edema .
48
50. • Acarbose and Miglitol
• Taken at the beginning of the meal
• They inhibit α-glucosidase which converts dietary starch and complex
carbohydrates into simple sugars
• It reduces absorption of glucose after meals.
• The main side effects includes flatulence and diarrhea.
• Not recommended in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
(IBDs), colonic ulceration or intestinal obstruction

• Orally active dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors
• Used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (gliptins)
52
53. • They inhibit the enzyme DPP-4, which is responsible for the
inactivation of incretin hormones such as GLP-1.
• Prolonging the activity of incretin hormones increases insulin release
in response to meals and reduces inappropriate secretion of
glucagon.
• DPP-4 inhibitors may be used as monotherapy or in combination with
other drugs.
• Unlike incretin mimetics, these drugs do not cause satiety, or fullness,
and are weight neutral
Mechanism of action of Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors
53
54. Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors
(Canagliflozin and Dapagliflozin)
Mechanism of action:
• (SGLT2) is responsible for reabsorbing filtered glucose in the tubular lumen
of the kidney.
• By inhibiting SGLT2, these agents decrease reabsorption of glucose,
increase urinary glucose excretion, and lower blood glucose.
• Inhibition of SGLT2 also decreases reabsorption of sodium and causes
osmotic diuresis.
• Therefore, SGLT2 inhibitors may reduce systolic blood pressure.
• They are not indicated for the treatment of hypertension.
• Used for type 2 diabetes
54
55. Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors
(Canagliflozin and Dapagliflozin)
Pharmacokinetics
• These agents are given once daily in the morning before the first meal.
• About one-third of a dose is renally eliminated.
• These agents should be avoided in patients with renal dysfunction
55
56. Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors
(Canagliflozin and Dapagliflozin)
Side effects:
• Female genital mycotic infections (for example, vulvovaginal candidiasis)
• Urinary tract infections
• Urinary frequency
• Hypotension, particularly in the elderly or patients on diuretics.
56
59. Agents that increase blood glucose (hyperglycemics)
Glucagon : Uses
First aid in cases of severe hypoglycemia when the victim is
unconscious or for other reasons cannot take glucose orally.
Treatment of overdose with beta blockers
– It has positive inotropic action and chronotropic action on the heart.
– It acts by stimulation of glucagon receptors and not through beta 1
receptors.
59
60. Agents that increase blood glucose (hyperglycemics)
Diazoxide
Diazoxide is a nondiuretic thiazide that promptly increases blood glucose
levels by direct inhibition of insulin secretion.
Diazoxide is useful in cases of insulinoma or leucine-sensitive
hypoglycemia
Diazoxide may cause
sodium retention,
gastrointestinal irritation, and
changes in circulating white blood cells.
