i3 Database Analysis of Bladder Cancer and Nine Other Cancers: Overall Conclusions • In a US population of T2DM adults > 45 years from the i3 InVision health claims database, the risk of bladder cancer with PIO is similar to that with Insulin • The risk of developing nine other common cancers (prostate, female breast, lung, pancreatic, endometrial, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, colorectal, kidney and malignant melanoma) associated with the use of PIO is 22% lower than the risk associated with the use of Insulin. • Although a large number of covariates was used in the models, residual confounders may potentially remain.

CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS OF CANCERS IN OBESE & DIABETIC PATIENTS 1. ANNUAL MAMMOGRAM AND RELATED BREAST SCREENING FOR BREAST CANCER BY AGE 40 2. PATIENTS WITH PCOS, MAY REQUIRE EARLIER CANCER SCREENING, PERHAPS AS SOON AS AGE 30 . 3. EARLIER SCREENING COLONOSCOPY SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED BY AGE 40. 4. REGULAR SKILLED SKIN EVALUATIONS 5. IN PATIENTS WITH MALIGNANCIES IN CERTAIN ORGANS, THOSE ANTI-DIABETIC AGENTS WHICH MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH EXCESS MALIGNANCY RISK IN THOSE ORGANS SHOULD BE AVOIDED. 6. PATIENTS WITH DIABETES UNDERGOING TREATMENT FOR MALIGNANCIES SHOULD HAVE RIGOROUS DIABETES CONTROL. FOR PATIENTS IN-HOSPITAL, AGGRESSIVE GLYCEMIC MANAGEMENT HAS BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH IMPROVED OUTCOMES.

SUMMARY: SGLT2 INHIBITION IN DIABETES cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) is the major cotransporter Sodium–glucose involved in reabsorption of filtered glucose in the tubular nephron of the kidney
Chronic hyperglycaemia in patients with diabetes mellitus might
upregulate glucose reabsorption in the kidneys above normal levels
inhibitors lower the threshold for glycosuria by lowering the SGLT2 maximum transport capacity or, more likely, by reducing the affinity of the transporter for glucose without causing hypoglycaemia
SGLT2 inhibitors cause proximal diuresis and calorie leakage into the urine; therefore, the benefits of these agents could include blood pressure lowering and weight control
Increased risk of genitourinary infections is a consistent adverse effect of SGLT2 inhibitors
Perspectives on SGLT2 Inhibition • Advantages – Improved glycemic control – Weight loss (75g urine glucose = 300kcal/d) – Low risk of hypoglycemia – Blood pressure lowering – One pill once daily
• Concerns – Polyuria – Electrolyte disturbances – Bacterial urinary tract infections – Fungal genital infections – Malignancies (?)
Summary of Diabetes Trifecta 2013 • Diabetes and Cancer
– Diabetes = more and worse cancer – Diabetes treatments likely don’t cause cancer
• New Diabetes Control Algorithm
– Incorporates pre-diabetes, obesity, and insulin – Prescriptive statemenst of what to use, when, and how
• New Class of Agents to Treat Diabetes
– Simple, effective, weight loss, no hypos, compatible – But new always brings hassles and risks – we’ll see
