Obese Patients

Faced with the dual pandemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, heath care providers require a broad array of treatment options. Diet, exercise, and medications remain the cornerstones of type 2 diabetes therapy, but long-term results with lifestyle modifications can be disappointing, and, despite an ever-increasing armamentarium of pharmacotherapeutics, adequate glycaemic control often remains elusive. Moreover, most diabetes medications promote weight gain, and using them to achieve tight glycaemic control introduces a proportionate risk of hypoglycaemia. In cases where behavioural/pharmacological strategies prove insufficient, gastrointestinal surgery offers powerful alternatives for obesity and type 2 diabetes treatment (Fig. 13.4.5.1). Among severely obese patients, bariatric operations cause profound, sustained weight loss, ameliorating obesity-related comorbidities and reducing long-term mortality (1–4). Operations involving intestinal bypasses exert particularly dramatic antidiabetes effects. For example, approximately 84% of obese patients with type 2 diabetes experience diabetes remission after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), maintaining euglycaemia off diabetes medications for at least 14 years (1, 5–8). Mounting evidence indicates that these effects result not only from weight loss, but also from weight-independent antidiabetic mechanisms (9). Whereas diabetes is traditionally viewed as a relentless disease in which delay of end-organ complications is the major treatment goal, gastrointestinal surgery offers a novel endpoint: complete disease remission. Consequently, conventional bariatric procedures and experimental gastrointestinal manipulations are being used worldwide to treat type 2 diabetes in association with obesity, and, increasingly, among less obese or merely overweight patients (8). Gastrointestinal surgery also offers valuable research opportunities to improve knowledge of diabetes pathogenesis and help develop less invasive procedures and novel pharmaceuticals. This chapter discusses the effects of gastrointestinal operations on type 2 diabetes, and focuses on potential antidiabetic mechanisms that mediate those effects.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is increasing rapidly worldwide, and treatment comes with many challenges. It is estimated that in 2030, approximately 500 million people will live with diabetes across the world—most of which will be type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Obesity often coincides with T2DM and has been linked to increased insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and high blood lipids. Thus, pharmacological management should be aimed at promoting weight loss or at very least be weight neutral. In many cases the risks of hypoglycaemia and weight gain may delay titration of diabetic agents to HbA1C targets. Both insulin and sulfonylureas are proven medications which are beneficial for tight glycemic control but with an increased risk of weight gain and hypoglycaemia. Newer agents under the drug class glucagon-like peptide receptor antagonists (GLP-1RA) are increasingly being used. Various randomized clinical trials support that obese T2DM patients treated with GLP-1RA lead to better glycaemic control, weight reduction and reduced risk of hypoglycaemia. Case Summary: A 56-year-old female was diagnosed with T2DM in 2003 and had been regularly followed up in diabetes clinic since 2014. During the initial clinic review she had a body weight of 114.9 kg (BMI 40.7), fasting blood glucose was 8 - 9, 2-hour CBG 11-13 and HbA1c of 87. At that time, she was taking insulin glargine (Lantus) 36 units once daily, gliclazide 40 mg in the morning / 120 mg in the evening, metformin slow release 2 g in the evening, and simvastatin 20 mg at bedtime. After discussion with her she was started on the GLP-1RA liraglutide subcutaneously. She had no diabetic related complication. She continued liraglutide since then. Her HbA1c started to improve and also noticed in change in body weight which had gradually decreased from 114.9 to 109 kg. Her liraglutide was held at the latter end of 2018 as her glucose control and weight had been maintained. It was noticed that after stopping liraglutide her blood glucose and weight started to go up again even though her other medications remained same. Her case was discussed at Diabetes MDT and liraglutide1.8mg restarted in September 2019 and since then she able to lose around 5% of her body weight and HBA1C also started to drop. It is noticed that since the starting of her liraglutide her HBA1C level and weight fall by around 1% and 4% respectively. In late 2018 once she stopped liraglutide her HbA1C and weight started to rise again. In 2019 liraglutide was restarted and she managed to reduce body weight by 5kg and HbA1C by 2%. During the whole time period she maintained lifestyle intervention. Discussion: Excessive fat accumulation with potential impairing effects on health know as overweight and obesity, is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Most T2DM people around 80-90% fall in mild to moderate obesity or overweight need either behaviour or medication-based weight loss programme. In these patients losing as little as 5% of body weight positively affect their cardiovascular mortality and glycemic control. There is no need to mention that losing body weight and maintaining it is a challenge for the majority of diabetic patients and it is especially true for those are on oral hypoglycaemic agents such as insulin, sulfonylurea and thiazolidinediones and insulin. In that case GLP-! Receptor agonists (GLP-1 Ras) is exceptional and it is proven benefit in reducing weight in T2DM obese patients. Liraglutide is first approved in 2010 as an adjunct therapy to diet and exercise for management of type 2 diabetes. Liraglutide is a derivative of GLP-1, a polypeptide incretin hormone secreted by the L-cell of the gastrointestinal tract. It stimulates glucose dependent insulin secretion causing a decrease in plasma glucagon concentrations, delayed gastric emptying, suppress appetite and increased heart rate. It is believed that the weight lowering effect of GLP-1RA is due to appetite suppression and delayed gastric emptying. After liraglutide administration peak absorption occur at 11 hours and its absolute bioavailability is 55%. Its half-life in 13 hours, allowing it once daily administration. It eliminates through liver and kidneys and does not interfere with cytochrome p450 system. Most common side effects are nausea, hypoglycaemia, diarrhoea, constipation, abdominal pain and increased serum lipase. Gastrointestinal intolerance is the most common reason for drug discontinuation in patients. There is also an increased correlation with acute pancreatitis, serious hypoglycaemic episodes, tachycardia, and suicidal behaviour. Liraglutide is contraindicated in pregnancy and should be avoided in nursing mothers, children, and coincident use with other GLP-1 agonists. Five large scale randomized multicenter phase III trials have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of liraglutide as a weight loss agent. Four of these are part of the Satiety and Clinical Adiposity – Liraglutide evidence in non‐diabetic and diabetic individuals (SCALE) program. During these trails, all participants were encouraged to continue their lifestyle modification. The result of the trail was satisfactory. It was found that mean weight loss was between 6% to 4.7% in comparison to placebo group (2%). A dose dependent weight loss was first observed in LEAD Trials and subsequently in SCALE programme it is confirmed. In a study in Chinese population liraglutide treatment help T2DM patient in weight reduction after 24 weeks of treatment. In long term weight reduction, the 5-year treatment with liraglutide reduce HBA1c level by almost 1%. In various study it confirmed that liraglutide has greater impact on T2DM female gender. In SCALE study it showed that 50% difference in body weight loss between man and women could be due to higher exposure to liraglutide to women. Although exposure was equal in healthy male and female subject. Reference: 1. Randomized control trials for GLP-1Ra 2. Liraglutide for weight management: A critical review of the evidence 3.
