Sulfonylureas
Randomized clinical trials with CVD outcomes
Side effects
• Hypoglycemia
– metabolites are renally excreted, and some (particularly w glyburide) are active.
– If you must use in CKD, choose a short-acting sulfonylurea with mostly inactive
metabolites (glipizide, glimepiride).
• Dizziness (2%), Headache (2%) Nausea (5%)

Contraindications
• None
• Can be used in advanced CKD, but only use in pts on hemodialysis with
extreme caution.
Sulfonylureas
dosing
* Some patients may be effectively controlled on a once-daily regimen (2.5, 5, or 10 mg once daily) before the largest meal. Most have a better
response with divided dosing (5 or 10 mg twice daily), depending on eating pattern.

Basics
Cost per NADAC: $3

Pioglitazone
mechanism of action
insulin sensitivity
by acting on adipose tissue and muscle to increase glucose uptake.
Pioglitazone binds/activates one or more peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors
(PPARs), mostly PPAR-gamma, which alters the transcription of multiple genes involved in
glucose and lipid metabolism
lipolysis

45mg vs placebo

2nd line treatment in pts with CKD, continued
Minimize risk of
hypoglycemia?
Promote weight
loss?
Minimize cost?
2nd line therapy, If minimizing cost is top priority
– Consider starting Relion N, the least expensive basal ($24.88 per 10mL).

Glycemic Control in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes. JAMA. 2018
Practical dosing of NPH
Dose timing
– At bedtime. This allows med to peak at breakfast rather than
middle of the night
Starting dose
– 10u for lean patients, 16u for obese patients.
– (if you want to be fancy, 0.1-0.2 u/kg)
Titration:
– Check fasting glucose daily.
– Increase dose by 1u Q2D for lean or 2u Q2D for obese
patients, until FBG < 130.
– If FBG < 70, dose should be decreased similarly.
– Once dose achieved to keep FBG < 130, then need to check
pre-lunch and pre-dinner BG to monitor for daytime
hypoglycemia
– If any pre-meal glucose < 80, then cut SU dose in half
– Check A1C after 3 months on final dose of basal insulin. If not at
goal, then consider mealtime Regular insulin.
