Consider GLP-1 RAordual GIP and GLP-1 RA in most individuals prior to insulin2 If already on GLP-1 RA or dual GIP
INITIATION: Initiate appropriate starting dose for agent selected (varies within class) and GLP-1 RAor if these are not
TITRATION: Titrate to maintenance dose (varies within class) appropriate OR insulin is preferred
If above A1C target and not already on a GLP-1 RA or dual GIP and GLP-1 RA,
consider these classes, either in free combination or fixed-ratio combination, with insulin.
If A1Cremains above target:
1. Consider insulin as the first injectable if evidence of ongoing catabolism is present, symptoms of hyperglycenia are present, when A1Cor blood glucose levels are very high (i.e., A1C >10%
>86 mmoVmol] or blood glucose 2300 mg/dL (216.7 mmo/L), or when a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes is a possibility.
2. When selecting GLP-1 RAs, consider individual preference, A1C lowering, weight-lowering effect, or frequency of injection. If CVO is present. consider GLP-1 RA with proven CVO benefit. Oral or
injectable GLP-1 RAs are appropriate.
3. For people on GLP-1 RA and basal Insulin combination, consider use of a fxed-ratio combination product (IDegLira or iGlarLixi).
4. Consider switching from evening NPH to a basal analog if the individual develops hypoglycemia and/or frequently forgets to administer NPH in the evening and would be better managed
wtth an A.M. dose of a long-acting basal Insulin.
5. If adding prandial insulin to NPH, consider initiation of a self-mixed or premixed insulin plan to decrease the number of injections required.
