BIGUANIDES
• Metformin
• Sheet Anchor in the management of Diabetes
• Also approved for use in pregnancy
• GI side effects – problematic
• Cannot be used in renal failure
AGI
Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitors
• Voglibose & Acarbose
• Very very relevant for Indian Diabetics
• Only control post prandial spikes
• Can only be an add on
• Can be used in IGT to delay Diabetes onset
• GI intolerance is the Achilles Heel

Recent Entrants
Lobeglitazone
• The Dust has settled on Pioglitazone
• Available in Indian Market
• 0.5 mg per day
• Monotherapy as well as FDC with Metformin
• It’s a PPAR Gamma Agonist
Imeglimin
• first in class novel oral agent
‐ ‐
• tetrahydrotriazine containing molecule, the class will be called glimins
‐
• Mechanism of Action :
• (a) amplification of glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and preservation of β‐cell mass;
• (b) enhanced insulin action, including the potential for inhibition of hepatic glucose output and
improvement in insulin signaling in both liver and skeletal muscle
• Aka “correction of mitochondrial dysfunction”
• Available in Indian Market
Newer Drugs
in the Horizon
for
Diabetes Mellitus
Icodec
• The ONWARDS 3
Randomized Clinical Trial
• No difference in weight
change
• a higher rate of combined
level 2 or 3 hypoglycemic
events in the context of less
than 1 event per patient-
year exposure in both
groups
Cagrilintide
• Stable, lipidated long-acting amylin analogue cagrilintide
• Amylin is a 37 amino acid peptide, produced in pancreatic beta cells and co-secreted with
insulin
• It has important effects on appetite, glucose management, and gastric emptying that
warrant investigation for treatment of diabetes and obesity
• Human amylin is also involved in the cytotoxic amyloid formation
FDC of BASAL INSULIN - GLP1RA
• IDegLira
• Sanofi
• Degludec + Liraglutide
• Once Daily
• DUAL II, DUAL V & DUAL VII trials
• Phase 3
• Lower chances of Hypoglycemia than Basal-Bolus
Novo Nordisk
CAGRISEMA
• FDC of 2.4 mg semaglutide and 2.4 mg cagrilintide
• Viz. GLP1RA & Amylin Analogues
• Both promote weight loss
• Weekly once
• Subcutaneous Injection
• Completed Phase 2 in August 2022, entering Phase 3
FDC OF BASAL INSULIN - GLP1RA
• IcoSema
• Icodec + Semaglutide
• Once Weekly
• Novo Nordisk
RETATRUTIDE

COPROPHAGY IN ANCIENT GREEK
FMT – FECAL MICROBIOTA
TRANSPLANT
• MICROBIOTA or GUT MICROBIOME
• The term ‘microbiome’ refers to the collective genomes of these
microorganisms.
• 1100 prevalent species
• Minimum 160 per individual
• 10 to 100 trillion individual cells
• Difficult (read impossible) to isolate and culture
• Study the 16 S rRNA and metagenomics instead
Honorary Mention…
Ranolazine Bromocriptine
Hydroxychloroqui

Affrezza
ORMD – 0801 (aka) ORAL INSULIN
• Presently in Phase 3
• 8 mg HS appears to be the most promising dose
• Safe, well tolerated and not associated with weight gain or
hypoglycemia

Cure for Early Type 1 Diabetes
• All is not lost ideology
• Teplizumab – Anti-CD3 Antibody
• Must be used sufficiently early in the course of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
• Can delay the onset in anti-body positive individuals
Transdifferentiation
• Case for cells :
α
• and cell lineages appear to arise from
α β
a common precursor
• Phenomenon already known in mice
models
• Both cells have common Slc2a2
transporter that allows glucose sensing
• Anatomically same Blood and
Nerve supply
• 35 % of cells in Islets are cells
α
• Reduction in number of cells doesn’t
α
translate to adverse outcomes
