Insulin inside of the body is known as?
Endogenous
Insulin outside of body?
exogenous
Bolus insulin
- multiple daily injections mimics what your body would normally do

Basal Insulin
- covers you throughout the day
- even when we are not eating
Best practices include:
● Multiple daily injections (MDI);
● Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusions (CSII)
Smart loop system
- pump that gives you insulin and captures interstitial fluid and glucose levels in accurate time
- More people are moving towards pumps b/c it reduces the risk of hypoglycemia (BIGGEST medical emergency for people with diabetes)

Are most drugs for T2 oral or injectable?
oral
- we can use other drugs besides insulin injectables that help manage blood sugars
Best Practice?
combination therapy
Function, side effects of biguanide?
Function- targets liver and enhances insulin sensitivity in liver and peripheral tissues by activation of AMP activated protein kinase
- SE:: GI concerns, B12 deficiency, not RX if renal insufficiencies or hepatic failure.
- Hypo: Negligible risk as monotherapy
