Summary of glucose-lowering interventions

Summary of glucose-lowering interventions
Intervention Expected decrease in A1C with monotherapy (%) Advantages Disadvantages
Initial therapy
Lifestyle change to decrease weight and increase activity 1 to 2 Broad benefits May be insufficient for most within first year due to limited adherence, inadequate weight loss, and/or weight regain
Metformin 1 to 2 Weight loss to weight neutral, low cost, low risk of hypoglycemia, generally well tolerated, well-studied in combination with other agents GI side effects, contraindicated with impaired kidney function (eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2)*
Additional therapy
Insulin (usually with a single daily injection of intermediate- or long-acting insulin initially) 1.5 to 3.5 No dose limit, rapidly effective, improved lipid profile Hypoglycemia, may require more than 1 daily injection, requires home glucose monitoring, weight gain, analogs are expensive
Dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist (once-weekly injections) 2 to 2.5 Weight loss Requires injection, frequent GI side effects, very expensive
GLP-1 receptor agonist (oral or daily to weekly injections) 0.5 to 2 Weight loss, reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events (liraglutide, subcutaneous semaglutide, dulaglutide) in patients with established CVD and at high risk for CVD Most agents require injection, frequent GI side effects, very expensive
SGLT2 inhibitor 0.5 to 0.7 Weight loss, reduction in systolic blood pressure, reduced heart failure and cardiovascular mortality, improved kidney outcomes in patients with nephropathy Mycotic genital infection, DKA; SGLT2 inhibitors have also been associated with urinary tract infections, bone fractures, and lower limb amputations
Sulfonylurea (shorter-acting agents preferred) 1 to 2 Rapidly effective Hypoglycemia (especially with glyburide/glibenclamide or chlorpropamide), weight gain
Glinide 0.5 to 1.5Δ Rapidly effective Hypoglycemia, weight gain, may require 3 times daily dosing
Pioglitazone 0.5 to 1.4 Improved lipid profile, potential decrease in MI and stroke Fluid retention, HF, weight gain, bone fractures, and bladder cancer; side effects minimized at doses of 15 to 30 mg
DPP-4 inhibitor 0.5 to 0.8 Weight neutral Possible increased risk of HF with saxagliptin, expensive
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitor 0.5 to 0.8 Weight neutral Frequent GI side effects limit use, 3 times daily dosing

A1C: glycated hemoglobin; CVD: cardiovascular disease; DKA: diabetic ketoacidosis; DPP-4: dipeptidyl peptidase 4; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; GI: gastrointestinal; GIP: glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide; GLP-1: glucagon-like peptide 1; HF: heart failure; MI: myocardial infarction; SGLT2: sodium-glucose cotransporter 2.

* Initiation is contraindicated with eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2 and not recommended with eGFR 30 to 45 mL/min/1.73 m2.

¶ The order of listing of additional therapies does not indicate a preferred order of selection. The choice of additional therapy should be based on criteria discussed in the UpToDate topics on the management of hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus.

Δ Repaglinide is more effective in lowering A1C than nateglinide.
