General Risk FactorsHigh FPG variability levels is positively associated with the risk of retinopathy and all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Zhao Q, Zhou F, Zhang Y, Zhou X, Ying C: Fasting plasma glucose variability levels and risk of adverse outcomes among patients with type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Diabetes Res ClinPract. 2019 Feb;148:23-31.
Complications Go Together
DR is consistently associated with other complications of diabetes including nephropathy, stroke, cardiovascular disease, lower extremity ulceration and amputation. A patient with DR has an overall worse prognosis than a patient without DR.

Complications and A1C
Hypoglycemia
Glargine U-300 (Toujeo)
Insulin, lasts about 30 hoursIn trials has low rate of hypoglycemiaAlso available in Max version for patients
with insulin resistancePatients need 10-15% more insulin
because of degradation prior to absorption
Degludec (Tresiba)
• Insulin, lasts about 42 hours• In trials has lower rate of
hypoglycemia than glargine U-100• Also available in U-200 version for patients with
insulin resistance• Patients often need less insulin
o Keeping up to date with previous studies and modifying decision making as new studies are reported is difficulto There are both cardiovascular and endocrine considerations for every medicationo The risk of microvascular disease and macrovascular disease must be balancedo Pharmaceutical marketing does not provide unbiased guidelines for decision making
Bright Study
• Similar A1C Lowering• Less hypoglycemia
with glargine U-300?
Diabetic Retinopathy
Early Worsening
Bain SC, Klufas MA, Ho A, Matthews DR: Worsening of diabetic retinopathy with rapid improvement in systemic glucose control: A review. Diabetes Obes Metab. 2019 Mar;21(3):454-466.
Statin therapy was associated with a decreased risk of diabetic retinopathy and need for treatments for vision-threatening diabetic patients with type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia.

Screening IntervalsExtending screening intervals to 2 years for retinopathy is estimated to miss 5 patients per 1000.
Scanlon PH: Screening Intervals for Diabetic Retinopathy and Implications for Care. Curr Diab Rep. 2017 Sep 5;17(10):96.
Physical ActivityMost studies find physical activity has a favorable effect on retinopathy.
Loprinzi PD1, Edwards MK1, Frith E: Review of the literature examining the association between physical activity and retinopathy. Phys Sportsmed. 2018 Feb;46(1):123-128.
Treatment and PreventionA review of the Cochrane database found effective for treating diabetic retinopathy include photocoagulation and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents. Strict glucose and pressure control seem to postpone the onset of retinopathy. For macular edema, antiangiogenic drugs, intravitreal injection and surgical implantation seem to have some benefit.
Mozetic V, Daou JP, Martimbianco AL, Riera R: What do Cochrane systematic reviews say about diabetic retinopathy? Sao Paulo Med J. 2017 Jan-Feb;135(1):79-87.
Diabetic Macular EdemaControl of glucoseControl of blood pressureIntravitreal anti-VEGF drug injectionsIntravitreal corticosteroid injectionsFocal laser photocoagulationVitrectomy
A substantial fraction of eyes respond incompletely to all of these modalities resulting in visual loss

Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic Nephropathy
Epidemiology• 20-30% of all patients with type 2 diabetes• Prevalance averages 15% with 22% having GFR <60
ml/min• 50% of end stage renal disease• Many patients have diabetic kidney disease without
significant albuminuria (63.7% in one study).• Diabetes is not always the cause in one study 36% of
patients with diabetes had hypertensive nephropathy• Albuminuria tends to increase over 5-15 years• Severe albuminuria untreated can lead to ESRD in 5-7
years• Genetic defects have been detected including defects
in the ACE enzyme.
Diagnosis• Evaluate albuminuria and GFR• Screening yearly• 24 hour urine is the gold standard• albumin/creatinine ratio is best spot test for albuminuria
Normal <30 mg/g is called “normal to mildly increased”.• 30-300 mg/g previously labeled “microalbuminuria.”
Now “moderately increase albuminuria” is proposed.• Over 300 mg/g is defined as severely increased
micoralbminuria. Formerly macroalbuminuria.• Rate of progression from 30-300 mg/g to over 300 mg/g
is 2-3% per year.
Measuring GFR• MDRD• Cockcraft and Gault• EPI• cystostatin C
Stages of Renal Disease• G1 >=90• G2 60-89• G3 30-59
o G3a 45-59o G3b 30-44
• G4 15-19• G5 <15
Frequency of Monitoring Nephropathy
Treatment• Glycemic control with A1C<7%• Blood pressure <140/90 and less than 130/80 in patients with albuminuria• ACE and ARBs for patients with moderately or severely increased
albuminuria. Not recommended for patients with normal blood pressure and normal mildly increased albuminuria.
• Combining ACE and ARBs not advised• Both ACE and ARBs may cause a drop in measured GFR on starting
treatmetn• Research
o spironolactone plus an ACE or ARB may improve outcomes.o vitamin-D
• SGLT-2 medications• DPP-4?• GLP-1 Liraglutide, semaglutide• Diltiazem (may need to be combined with ACE)• Spironolactone• Caloric restriction, weight reduction and bariatric surgery

Fatty Liver
Gastroparesis• No consensus on definition exists except delayed gastric
emptying in the absence of mechanical obstruction• Nausea – 92%• Vomiting – 84%• Early satiety – 60%• bloating – 75%• Abdominal pain• weight loss• Risk with type 2 diabetes x7 and type 1 diabetes x30• About 1/3 of patients with gastroparesis have diabetes• Delayed gastric emptying occurs in 27-65% adults with type 1
diabetes and about 30% of patients with type 2 diabetes. Diagnosed dGP was 5% of type 1 patients in a reghistry.
• More common in women. 9.6/100,000 men and 37.8/100,000 women.
Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index
On a 0-5 scale with 0 being none and 5 being very severe1. Postprandial fullness/early satiety2. Nausea/vomiting3. Bloating
Grade 1 – Mild intermittent symptoms controlled with diet or avoidanceGrade 2 – Moderatly sever symptoms, but no weight loss requiring medicationGrade 3 – Refractory to medication and unable to maintain oral nutrition. Frequent ED visits and fluids. Requiring surgergical therapy
Gastric Scintigraphy
Interpretation• Positive if over 60% delay at 2 hours or 10% at 4
hours.
Glycemic control• Pills may need to be avoided• GLP may need to be avoided• Insulin after meals. Consider regular• Consider square waver for pump
Diet• Small low fat meals 4-5 times per day• Avoid carbonated beverages• Chew food thoroughly, eat slowly (20-30 min per
meal)• Consider blenderizing food• Get fats from liquid• Fluids throughout day (solids are affected much
more than liquids by gastroparesis)• Sit or walk for 1-2 hours after meals.• If problems with solids can try bulk of calories from
liquids.
Medications• metoclpramide• erythromycin stops working after about 4 weeks• domperidone – FDA investigational• cisapride• bethanicol• botulism• pyloroplasty – no controlled studies• gastric electrical stimulation• ginger???
The Problem• Diabetes patients have cardiovascular risk that is
equivalent to a patient who has had a myocardial infarction
• Medications for diabetes can increase or decrease the risk significantly
• The decision making for best care is complex and changing
Overview of Data
Overview of Diabetes Medications & CV Disease• Lowering A1C primarily reduces the incidence of
microvascular complications (primarily neuropathy, nephropathy and retinopathy)
• Different diabetes medications have significantly different effects on macrovascular disease (primarily MI, stroke)
• Congestive heart failure is a diabetic complication and diabetes medications affect it differently than microvascular and macrovascular disease.
• Pharmaceutical marketing has promoted SGLT-2 and GLP medications for CV disease, but all of the diabetes medications must be evaluated for CV effect for each patient
• The data shows other medications also contribute to the risk

Overview of Older Medications• Sulfonylurea medications appear to increase the
risk of CV events and CHF• Metformin appears to be neutral for CV events• Acarbose appears to decrease the risk of CV
events• The DPP-4 medications appear to be neurtral for CV
events, but saxagliptin (Onglyza) may increase the risk of CHF
• Tight insulin control appears to increase the risk of CV events
• Pioglitizone appears to be neurtral for CV events, but increases the risk of CHF hospitalization
SGLT-2 Medications
• EMPA_REG study of empagliflozin vs placebo. o 3,297 patients with established CVDo Decrese risk of CV event to 0.85o Decreased risk of MI to 0.67o Decreased risk of CHF hospitalization to 0.65o Decreased overall mortality and rate of progression of renal disease
• Canvas Study of canagliflozin vs placeboo 10,142 patient with DM-2o Decreased risk of CV even to 0.86o However, increased amputation risk to 1.97
• Other studies pending• Significant reduction and this is probably a class
effect. SGLT-2 medications decrease CHF hospitalization unlike GLPs. However, SGLT-2 do not lower A1C as much if starting <=8%.
GLP Medications• ELIXA with Lixisenatide vs placebo NS differences• LEADER with Liratlugide vs placebo with 22%
reduction in CV events and mortality. Also decreased progression in nephropathy
• SUSTAIN-6 with semaglutide vs placebo with 25% reduction in CV events and 39% reduction plus decreased progression of nephropathy. Possible increased progression of retinopathy.
• Other studies pending• To date, looks like outcomes may not be a class
effect.
Why Reduction with GLPor SGLT-2
• Mechanisms unknown. Theories for include:• Improved vascular reactivity• Sustained diuresis• Decreased albuminuria• Decreased serum uric acid• Shift in fuel metabolism to ketone bodies• Weight loss• BP lowering• Antiinflammatory effects
Cost Effectiveness• Because of cost the newer agents should be used
selectively.• However, they may be more effective than other
measures. For example, there is still controversy about the effectiveness of aspirin for primary prevention and a meta-analysis showed only a 9% reduction of events with increased risk of bleeding.
Recommendations• Pilot inpatient consultative service with cardiology
and endocrinology to target patient with diabetes and documented CV disease.
• Monitoring to evaluate outcomes including:o Diabetes care costo Readmissionso CV events including MI, Stroke and CHFo Mortality
