Objectives
Describe the mechanism of action,
indications for use, dosages, stability,
and adverse effects for each injectable
product used to treat types 1 and 2
diabetes mellitus (DM)
 Review insulin administration techniques
and emergency use of glucagon
 Identify drugs currently in the pipeline
and the future of injectable therapies
used to treat DM

Injectable Products
Pramlintide
®
(Symlin )
MOA
Synthetic version of amylin; ↓ glucagon release from pancreatic alpha cells, ↓
GER
Dosing
Type 1 DM:
- Initial: 15 mcg SC immediately prior to main meals
- Maintenance: titrate at 15 mcg increments  up to 60 mcg as tolerated
Type 2 DM:
- Initial: 60 mcg SC immediately prior to main meals
- Maintenance: 120 mcg as tolerated
Contraindications
Gastroparesis, patients unable to detect hypoglycemia
Adverse Effects
Significant hypoglycemia, abdominal pain, n/v, headache, dizziness
Monitoring
FBG, A1C
Interactions
Slows gastric emptying time  reduced extent and rate of absorption of orally
administered drugs
Clinical pearls
- Used only as adjunct tx
- Reduce mealtime insulin by 50% with concomitant use
- Available as SC pen (expires 30 days after opening)
- 0.5-1 % ↓ in A1C
Pramlintide (continued…)

Generally not favored due to modest
efficacy, dosing frequency, and side
effects
 Per 2016 ADA Guidelines
American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes 2016. Diabetes Care. 2016; 32(S1): S1-S112.

Question 1
GLP-1 receptor agonists lower blood glucose by the
following mechanism:
a.
b.
c.
d.
Increase glucose-dependent insulin & amylin secretion,
decrease glucagon, decrease gastric emptying, and
increase satiety
Activate PPAR- γ which leads to enhanced glucose and
lipid metabolism and increased sodium reabsorption in
the renal tubules. They also work to increase insulin
sensitivity by improving target cell response to insulin
Increase muscle sensitivity to insulin, decrease hepatic
glucose output, decrease LDL by increasing fatty acid
oxidation, and decrease insulin resistance
Act via specific membrane-bound receptors on the liver,
skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue to regulate
metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats
Insulin
MOA
Insulin is endogenously produced in the beta islet cells of the
pancreas and allows glucose to enter cells to be used as energy
Dosing
Initiate basal (long-acting) insulin at 0.2 units/kg at bedtime and
increase by 2 units every 2-3 days until FBG levels are at goal
Adverse Effects
Weight gain, injection site reactions, lipoatrophy, lipohypertrophy,
hypoglycemia
Monitoring
FBG, A1C
Interactions
Any agents which promote hypoglycemia
Clinical pearls
- Most effective method to lower A1C
- 1.5-3.5 % ↓ in A1C
Insulin: Duration of Action
Titrating Insulin
American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes 2016. Diabetes Care. 2016; 32(S1): S1-S112.
Titrating Insulin
Basal insulin
(usually with
metformin +/other noninsulin agent
Start: 10 units/day or 0.1-0.2 units/day
Adjust: 10-15% or 2-4 units 1-2x
weekly to reach FBG target
For hypoglycemia: determine &
address cause; ↓ dose by 4 units or
10-20%
If not controlled after FBG
target is reached (or if dose
> 0.5 units/kg/day), treat
PPG excursions with
mealtime insulin & consider
initial GLP-1 RA trial
American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes 2016. Diabetes Care. 2016; 32(S1): S1-S112.
Titrating Insulin (continued…)

Add 1 rapid insulin injection before largest meal
Start: 4 units, 0.1 units/kg, or 10% basal dose, consider ↓
basal by same amount
Adjust: ↑ dose by 1-2 units or 10-15% 1-2x weekly until
SMBG target reached
For hypoglycemia: determine and address cause; ↓
corresponding dose by 2-4 units or 10-20%
American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes 2016. Diabetes Care. 2016; 32(S1): S1-S112.
If not controlled,
consider basal-bolus &
add > 2 rapid insulin
injections before meals
Titrating Insulin (continued…)

OR Change to premixed insulin twice daily
Start: divide current basal dose into 2/3 AM, 1/3 PM or 1/2
AM, 1/2 PM
Adjust: ↑ dose by 1-2 units or 10-15% 1-2x weekly until
SMBG target reached
For hypoglycemia: determine and address cause; ↓
corresponding dose by 2-4 units or 10-20%
American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes 2016. Diabetes Care. 2016; 32(S1): S1-S112.
If not controlled,
consider basal-bolus &
add > 2 rapid insulin
injections before
meals
Titrating Insulin: Basal-bolus
Start: 4 units, 0.1 units/kg, or 10% basal dose/meal. If A1C < 8%, consider
↓ basal by same amount

reached
For hypoglycemia: determine and address cause; ↓ corresponding dose
by 2-4 units or 10-20%
