anti diabetic Flashcards
what receptor does insulin bind to on the cell membrane
tyrosine kinase
no C peptide with?
C peptide is in
exogenous insulin
endogenous insulin
can prevent microvascular complications (retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy)
control of diabetic dyslipidemia prevents macrovascular dz
tight glycemic control
dawn hyperglycemia
somogyi phenomenon
differentiate between waning of insulin or dawn phenomenon - check glucose at 3 AM
Drugs causing hyperglycemia
1) B adrenergic blockers
2) thiazides
3) diazoxide
4) clozapine, olanzapine
5) corticosteroid
6) cyclosporine, tacrolimus, sirolimus
7) protease inhibitors
increases blood glucose
stimulates adenyl cyclase and increases cAMP levels
Used: severe hypoglycemia in DM, antidote for B blocker OD
glucagon
SX: sweating. palpitation, confusion, loss of concentration, nightmares, loss of consciousness, seizures, coma
Hypoglycemia
Causes of hypoglycemia
1) exercise
2) renal failure
3) exogenous insulin
4) insulinoma
5) sulfonylurea
6) missed meals, starvation
rapid acting insulins
onset 15-30 min
DOA 3-4 hrs
Peak 1-2 hrs
lispro
aspart
glulisine
monomers on sub Q - fast absorption
rapid breakdown to monomers - can give IV
given just prior to meals
lispro
aspart
glulisine
Use: post prandial hyperglycemia, emergency - lispro
ADR: hypoglycemia is missed meal
lispro
aspart
glulisine
short acting insulins
onset 30-60 min
DOA 5-7 hrs
Peak 2-4 hrs
regular insulin (crystalline zinc)
hexamers with zinc (zinc slows absorption)
breaks down to monomers - fast absorption
given 15-30 min before meal
combo with NPH - 2x day
regular insulin (crystalline zinc)
Used: post prandial blood sugar control and emergency!
ADR: hypoglycemia if missed meal
regular insulin (crystalline zinc)
intermediate insulin
onset 1-2 hrs
DOA 4-8 hrs
peak 10 -20 hrs
isophane/NPH (neutral protamine hagedorn)
complexed with zinc and protamine in phosphate buffer - low absorption
given with food before bedtime
combo with regular insulin 2x day
isophane/NPH (neutral protamine hagedorn)
cloudy suspension - no IV, SQ only
Use: to prevent night time blood sugar excursions, blood sugar control during day with regular insulin
ADR: hypoglycemia with fasting/ strenuous exercise
isophane/NPH (neutral protamine hagedorn)
long acting
onset 1-2 hrs
DOA -24 hrs
peak none
glargine
determir
low pH 4.0 stabilizes insulin
more weight gain
glargine
in neutral sub cut space, breaks down slowly - absorb slowly
cannot be combined with other insulins
once daily injections
glargine
determir
myristoylated and bound to albumin: slow release
determir
Uses: basal insulins and sustained action - long duration control blood sugar, night time control
ADR: no peak - less hypoglycemia
glargine
determir
ultra long acting
onset 1-2 hrs
DOA > 24 hrs
peak none
degludec
forms polymers when injected subcut
dissociates to hexamers then monomers - slow absorption
alternate day injections
degludec
Use: long duration control of blood sugar
ADR: no peak - less hypoglycemia
degludec
alpha islets
glucagon
