What options can we recommend to Janet to help maintain her good glycemic control with better patient satisfaction? GUIDELINE UPDATES American Diabetes Association 2018 Update

▪ Cardiovascular disease and diabetes ▪ Recent cardiovascular outcomes trial (CVOT) data prompted updates to type 2 diabetes management

▪ People with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) should consider an agent proven to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events and/or cardiovascular mortality

▪ The algorithm for antihyperglycemic treatment was updated to incorporate the new ASCVD recommendation

Diabetes Care Volume 41, Supplement 1, Jan 2018 Diabetes Care Volume 41, Supplement 1, Jan 2018

American Diabetes Association 2018 Update

■ Hypertension ▪ Most patients with diabetes and hypertension should target a systolic goal of <140 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure goal of <90 mmHg

▪ Lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure targets (ex. 130/80 mmHg) may be appropriate for individuals at high risk of cardiovascular disease, if they can be achieved without undue treatment burden

▪ Analysis of ACCORD BP, ADVANCE BP, HOT, and SPRINT trials included for support

▪ Encouraged home monitoring of blood pressure by patient

Diabetes Care Volume 41, Supplement 1, Jan 2018 American Diabetes Association 2018 Update

■ Individualization ▪ Verbiage to take into consideration the potential limitations in A1c during diagnosis and to consider alternative methods of diagnosis if discrepancy is found

▪ Updated recommendations emphasize that testing for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes should be considered in children and adolescents younger than 18 years of age who are overweight or have additional risk factors

▪ Recommendation for awareness of social determinants of health (financials, access, community support) when determining drug therapy options

▪ Inclusion of technology-based methods and individual and group settings for delivery of diabetes self-management education and support

▪ Lowered the recommended age for continuous glucose monitoring for type 1 diabetes starting at age 18 (previous recommendations were for ages 25 and older)

Diabetes Care Volume 41, Supplement 1, Jan 2018

AACE/ACE Diabetes Management Algorithm

■ Revisions include noting glucose-lowering medications for type 2 diabetes that have proven benefits in mitigating atherosclerotic CVD – Emphasis on liraglutide’s FDA approval for prevention of MACE events – Emphasis on empagliflozin’s FDA approval to reduce CV mortality – Emphasis on canagliflozin being shown to reduce MACE events

■ Discussion of a complication-centric model for managing patients who are overweight/obese

ACC/AHA Hypertension Guideline Update

■ Updated definition of hypertension, with classification of “elevated” blood pressure
