2009 AACE/ACE Glycemic Control Algorithm
American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) and the American
College of Endocrinology (ACE) released a new algorithm for the treatment of
patients with type 2 diabetes in October 2009
AACE/ACE consensus panel has taken into consideration the results of several,
large clinical trials, including RECORD, and continues to recommend the use of
AVANDIA® (rosiglitazone maleate)
The authors state “Although some studies have been controversial, recent
clinical trials ─ADVANCE , VADT, and ACCORD─showed no increased risk of
mortality associated with rosiglitazone…”
The authors also discuss the known side-effect profile of the thiazolidinedione
(TZD) class, including the risk of edema and congestive heart failure

Note: No studies are available evaluating glycemic control with pioglitazone for greater than two years.
FPG = fasting plasma glucose; T2DM = type 2 diabetes mellitus.

4. In terms of validity
of data, randomized
clinical trials are the
gold standard and
trumps that of
metanalyses (e.g.,
Steve Nissen) or
observational data
sets (e.g. Graham)

alternative to the generation of large-

VADT: Effect of Rosiglitazone dosage
on Time to MACE
• Baseline covariates: age, prior event, diabetes duration, baseline HbA1C, minority, SBP, total cholesterol, HDL
** baseline and time dependent covariates: age, prior event, # of Insulin, diabetes duration, minority, total cholesterol, HDL, statins
BARI-2D: Rosiglitazone Effect on
Cardiovascular Events
“Our observations from BARI 2D do not
suggest a significant cardiovascular hazard
and may suggest a potentially beneficial effect
on ischemic cardiovascular events associated
with treatment with rosiglitazone among
patients with type 2 diabetes and established
coronary artery disease like those treated in
the trial"

According to the AHA and ACC, meta-analyses and
observational studies are not sufficient to evaluate clinical
differences between rosiglitazone and pioglitazone
