Thiazolidinediones
What are the three sulfonyureas?
(hint: all start with G)
1) Glipizide
2) Glyburide
3) Glimepiride
Which drug class does repaglinide belong to?
Meglitinides
Exenatide, Liraglutide, and Dulaglutide (all end in tide) belong to which drug class?
Glucagon like peptide 1 agonists
All the drugs that end in -liptin (sitagliptin, saxagliptin, linagiptin) belong to what drug class?
Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 Inhibitors
First line T2DM treatment?
What if greater reduction is needed?
Even more reduction?
Metformin
Metformin + Sulfonylureas
Metformin + Sulfonylureas + Insulin
Glucagon like peptide-1 agonists can treat T2DM with what two conditions?
CVD and atherosclerosis
A patient has T2DM with renal impairment and CKD. What drug is best to treat this and why?
SGLT2 because it reduces progression of CKD
True or False: SGLT2 inhibitors have less glycemic effect, so more meds may be needed
True
How does insulin therapy affect gluconeogenesis and conversion of AA to glucose/ketoacids?
Decreases both processed
How does insulin therapy affect glucose storage?
Increases it
True or False: Protein synthesis, transportation of amino acids, and glucose are the result of insulin therapy
True
With insulin therapy, increased storage of TG leads to increased uptake of blood ___
glucose
Three main side effects of insulin therapy?
Hypoglycemia
Weight gain
Immune insulin resistance
True or False: Regular insulin given subcutaneously works faster than native insulin secreted by pancreas
False - regular insulin given SC works SLOWER than native insulin secreted by pancreas
Which type of insulin can form non-covalent hexamers in solution, which take time to break down?
Regular Insuln
Regular insulin analogs (aspart, glulisine, and lispro) more readily form monomers in solution
True
What is the only insulin suitable for IV use and forms hexamers?
Regular insulin
Why does NPH Insulin (intermediate acting) have a delayed, longer time course compared to regular insulin?
Need to break down aggregates
Which long term insulin preparation is soluble at pH for but not at 7?
Insulin glargine
True or False: Both insulin detemir and degludec (long acting insulin preparation) bind to albumin in blood stream
True
True or False: Insulin, lispro, aspart, and glulisine act most quickly and are similar to meal ingestion
True
___ and ___ acting insulins are given to mimic 24 hr basal insulin secretion
__ acting insulins are given preprandial to mimic nutrient stimulated insulin secretion
Intermediate and long acting
Short acting
Unlike insulin, metformin does not cause ___ or ____
weight gain; hypoglycemia
