Treatment of diabetes:
Life style modification 
Insulin 
Oral hypoglycemic agents 
Life style modification
Diet control 
Exercise 
Smoking cessation 
DIET CONTROL
All diabetic patients should be on

diet control.
Diet control is a must either the

patient is taking insulin or oral
therapy.
Over weight should be reduced .

DIET CONTROL
Diet control should be tried at
first
before
the
next
step
[insulin or tablets] especially in
obese patients, When diet fails
drugs are indicated.

DIET CONTROL
The diet for a diabetic patient is 
not so different from the healthy
diets for the whole population.
Simple sugars Carbohydrate [as 
sucrose], should be limited for the
diet of diabetic patients.
DIET CONTROL
Carbohydrate content should be in 
a fiber-rich diet [for example
fruits containing fibers as apples].
….. because the fiber content
of diet delays absorption of
carbohydrates avoiding the rapid
elevation of blood glucose levels.
DIET CONTROL
Calories :
Calories should be tailored to the •
need of the patient.
Diet should contain:
Carbohydrates → 50 - 55% 
Fat→ 30-35% 
Protein →10 - 15% 
Indication of Insulin
Type 1 diabetes 
Unstable diabetes 
Type 2 diabetes failed on SUs. 
Pregnant diabetic patients 
Surgery (all diabetic patients) 
Diabetic coma 
Oral hypoglycemic agents
Biguanides 
Sulfonylureas 
α- glucosidase inhibitors 
Thiazolidinediones 
Prandial glucose regulator 
Biguanides
Biguanides are derivatives of the 
antimalarial agent Chloroguanide.
Which is found to have hypoglycemic
action.
The most commonly used member of 
biguanides is Metformin [Cidophage].
Biguanides
Indication: 
Type 2 diabetes failed on diet
Metformin can be given alone or in
combination with sulfonylureas or
Insulin


Biguanides
Mode of action
Biguanides [Metformin] is an
Antihyperglycemic and not
Hypoglycemic agent.
It does not stimulate pancreas to secrete
insulin and does not cause hypoglycemia
(as a side effect) even in large doses.
Also it has no effect on secretion of
Glucagon or Somatostatin.


Biguanides
Mode of action: 
Decreases the intestinal 
absorption of CHO
Increases glucose uptake (GLUT 4) 
Increases glucose utilization 
(glycogensynthase)
Increases glycolysis via anaerobic 
pathway (lactic acidosis)
Biguanides
Pharmacokinetics:
Metformin is well absorbed 
from small intestine, stable,
does not bind to plasma
proteins, excreted unchanged
in urine.
Half life of Metformin is 1.5 - 
4.5 hours, taken in three doses
with meals
Biguanides
Side effects:
occur in 20-25 % of patients. 
include.. Diarrhea, abdominal 
discomfort, nausea, metallic
taste and decreased absorption
of vitamin B12.
Biguanides
Contraindications
Patients with renal or hepatic 
impairment.
Past history of lactic acidosis. 
Heart failure, Chronic lung 
disease.
.. These conditions predispose to
increased lactate production which
causes lactic acidosis which is fatal.
SULFONYLUREAS
SUs., have been discovered during 
the 2nd. World war (sulfonamide).
SUs are drugs that used orally to 
control blood glucose levels of type
2 diabetes.
SULFONYLUREAS
Types: 
First generation,

Chlorpropamide (Pamidin) 
Tolbutamide (Diamol) 
Second generation,
Gliclazide (Diamicron) 
Glibenclamide (Daonil) 
Glipizide (Minidiab) 
Third generation,
Glimepiride (Diabride) (Amaryl) 


SULFONYLUREAS
Mechanism of action:
Pancreatic effect 
Extra-pancreatic effect 
SULFONYLUREAS
Pancreatic effect:
Increase insulin release from
•
pancreas
Suppress secretions of Glucagon
•
SULFONYLUREAS
Extra pancreatic effect: 
Increases the number of insulin 
receptors
Increases post-receptor insulin 
sensitivity
Increases glucolysis 
Increases glycogen storage in 
muscle and liver
Decreases the hepatic output of 
glucose
SULFONYLUREAS
Pharmacokinetics: 
They are effectively absorbed 
from gastrointestinal tract.
Food can reduce the absorption of 
sulfonylurea.
Sulfonylureas are more effective 
when given 30 minutes before
eating.
Plasma protein binding is high 90 – 
99 % .. mainly bind to albumen.
SULFONYLUREAS
1st
Pharmacokinetics: 
generation members have 
short half lives.
2nd generation is administered

once, twice or several times
daily.
3rd generation is administered
once daily.

SULFONYLUREAS
Pharmacokinetics:
All sulfonylurea are metabolized by 
liver and their metabolites are
excreted in urine with about 20 %
excreted unchanged.
Sulfonylurea should be administered 
with caution to patients with either
renal or hepatic insufficiency.
SULFONYLUREAS
Adverse Reactions :
Very few adverse reactions [4 %] in 
the first generation and rare in the 2nd
and 3rd generation.
SUs may induce hypoglycemia especially 
in elderly patients with impaired
hepatic or renal functions-These cases
of hypoglycemia are treated by I/V
glucose infusion.
SULFONYLUREAS
Adverse Reactions :
First generation may induce other 
side effects as …nausea and
vomiting & dermatological
reactions
…These side effects are fewer in
the 2nd generation and rare in the
3rd generation.
SULFONYLUREAS
Drug interactions:
Some drugs may enhance or 
suppress the actions of
sulfonylureas Either by
affecting:
Their metabolism and excretion 
The concentration of free 
sulfonylureas in plasma through
competing them on plasma
proteins.
