24. Semaglutide
• Semaglutide is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to
improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.
• It can be administered by subcutaneous injection or taken orally.
• Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist.
25. Semaglutide cont…
• The most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
abdominal pain, and constipation.
• contraindicated in people with a personal or family history of medullary
thyroid carcinoma or with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2
• Semaglutide's half-life in the blood is about seven days

28. Linagliptin
• Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor that works by increasing the
production of insulin and decreasing the production of glucagon by
the pancreas.
• Common side effects include inflammation of the nose and throat.
• Serious side effects may include angioedema, pancreatitis, joint pain.
• Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding is not recommended.
• Can be used safely in CKD
32. Pramlintide –
• Pramlintide is a synthetic analog of human amylin that slows gastric
emptying, reduces postprandial rises in blood glucose concentrations, and
• modestly improves A1C concentrations in patients with type 1 and type 2
diabetes when injected subcutaneously three times per day
43. Fig. 20.13 Amino acid structure of insulin and insulin analogues.
The areas in the
shaded colours show
the modifications
made to the normal
structure of insulin.
These are important in
altering the
pharmocokinetic
properties of the
analogues.
46. Short Comings on Animal Insulins
• Impurity
• Antigenicity
• Allergic reaction
47. Shortfalls of Regular Human Insulin (1978)
• Short acting in nature( 6-8 hours).
• Multiple daily injections to match physiological release
pattern.
• Less treatment satisfaction.
• Unpredictable Hypoglycemia
48. Concept of Basal Insulin
Neutral Protamine Hagedorn(NPH 1940-50)
• Hans Christian Hagedorn in 1936 added protamine from trout semen
to insulin.
• Protamine is a highly basic protein
• Later Zinc was added to stabilize the complex
• Leads to microprecipitation and delayed absorption and prolonged
duration of action
• 1950 Nordisk markets NPH Insulin
49. Rationality of Basal Insulin
• Basal insulin suppresses hepatic glucose output and also lipolysis
between meals and in night
• Prevents Ketoacidosis in Type 1
• Most individuals with type 2 diabetes will achieve adequate
glycemic control with the addition of basal insulin alone

54. Summary of Basal insulin
• long-acting insulin analogs (insulin glargine and insulin detemir) are
not superior to NPH insulin in efficacy terms as determined by the
number of participants reaching HbA1c targets.
• Compared with use of NPH insulin, the use of the standard long-
acting insulin analogs with relatively flat action profiles is associated
with up to a 50% reduced risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia.
• Basal insulin is now the cornerstone of insulin regime in Diabetes.
• It is convenient, effective ,less hypoglycemia
55. Summary of Basal insulin cont….
• Glargine for all practical purposes is the gold standard basal insulin.
• Frequent monitoring, patient education is also integral part.
• Proper injection technique should be taught.
• Basal insulin have to supplemented with prandial insulin in Type 1
DM and selected cases of Type T2 DM.
• In pregnancy, NPH and Detemir are recommended basal insulins.
57. Commonly used regimens:
• The different types of insulins can be given in
any different combination.
• Commonly used regimens:
• Once daily.
• Twice daily.
• Basal bolus.
• Three times per day regimen.
• Continuous s.c. insulin infusions (CSIIs).
64. Insulin activity profile using a CSII. (Continuous s.c. insulin
infusions).
Boluses can be adjusted to carbohydrate load of individual
meals.

68. Advantages of Insulin Therapy
• • Oldest of the currently available medications, has the most clinical
experience
• • Most effective of the diabetes medications in lowering glycemia –
Can decrease any level of elevated HbA1c – No maximum dose of
insulin beyond which a therapeutic effect will not occur
•
• • Beneficial effects on triglyceride and HDL cholesterol levels N
69. Disadvantages of Insulin Therapy
• • Weight gain ~ 2-4 kg – May adversely affect cardiovascular health
• • Hypoglycemia – However, rates of severe hypoglycemia in patients
with type 2 diabetes are low…
1.Type 1 DM: 61 events per 100 patient-years
2.Type 2 DM: 1-3 events per 100 patient-years

71. Fig. 20.16 Artificial pancreas.
The artificial pancreas (AP) can vary in its set up
and the different components employed in its
delivery but core to an AP system are:
(1) a continuous glucose monitor (CGM)
measuring interstitial glucose levels every
5–15 minutes;
(2) a smartphone (or personal glucose
monitor) with an app that uses the glucose
information from the CGM along with
modifications inserted by the user to
calculate how much insulin should be
delivered. This is communicated wirelessly
to
(3) the insulin pump that delivers insulin
subcutaneously as directed.
73. Fig. 20.18 Transplanting islet cells.
(1)Pancreas obtained from
suitable human donor.
(2) Pancreatic islets containing
insulin-producing β cells are
isolated first in a Ricordi
chamber.
(3) Islets, once separated and
purified, are infused into the
hepatic portal vein.
(4) Once embedded in the liver,
pancreatic islets secrete insulin
in response to changes in portal
vein glucose.

80. Insulin vials
• “U-100 “ = every 1 ml has 100 units
• 1 vial has 10 ml = 1000 units
• New bottles should be kept in refrigerator [2-8 C°) [not freezer] until
expiration date
• Opened vials are valid for 4 weeks
• Opened vials can be kept in refrigerator or in room temperature (15-
25 C°)
81. Care of insulin vials
• Do not keep in hot places.
• Do not keep in a freezer.
• Do not leave in sunlight.
• Never use insulin if expired.
• Write the date on the insulin vial on the day you open it or start
keeping it outside the fridge.
• Throw the insulin away 4 weeks after opened or since kept out of the
fridge.
82. Care of insulin vials
• Inspect your insulin before each use.
• Look for changes in color or clarity.
• Look for clumps, solid white particles or crystals in the bottle or pen.
• Insulin that is clear should always be clear and never look cloudy.

HbA1c during the United Kingdom
Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS).
In the UKPDS there was loss of
glycaemic control with time in patients
receiving monotherapy, independently
of their randomisation to conventional or
intensive glycaemic control, consistent
with progressive decline in β-cell
function

• Second- and third-line treatment should be chosen based on the
efficacy, hypoglycaemia risk, weight effects and other side-effects,
and costs of the therapy in discussion with the patient.
