Antidiabetic Meds Flashcards
What predisposes individuals by destroying the beta cells leading to type 1 DM
Toxins and viruses
Is a contributing factor to the development of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, renal failure, blindness and stroke.
Diabetes Mallory’s
An autoimmune disorder in which beta cells of the pancreas are destroyed in a genetically susceptible person
Type 1 DM
NO insulin is produced
Type 1 DM
10% of diabetes population, occurs in childhood of adolescence mostly, causes or to be thin and underweight
Type 1
What can lead to ketoacidosis?
Type 1
A metabolic disease that results from either the loss of receptor sensitivity to insulin, poor control of liver glucose output, and decreased beta cell function
Type 2 DM
More frequent among obese, represents 90% of diabetic population, usually in middle age, older adults.
Type 2 DM
Insulin resistant: decreased ability to respond to insulin, increased hepatic glucose production
Type 2 DM
Glucose intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy.
Gestational diabetes mellitus
What is gestational DM diagnoses based on?
OGTT/ 100-g oral glucose tolerance test
What population is most affected by diabetes?
African American, American Indian, and Hispanic.
Level of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) to be diabetes
> /= 6.5%
Level of fasting plasma glucose to be diabetes
> 126mg/dL
2-hr plasma glucose to be diabetes
> 200 mg/dL post 75-g oral glucose challenge
Random plasma glucose level for diabetes
> 200 mg/dL with symptoms of diabetes (polyuria, polyphagia, and polydipsia)
Biguanide class
Glucophage (metformin) and glucophage XR
Glucophage (metformin)
2-3 times a day
What lowers A1c by 1-2% and decreases glucose production
Metformin (glucophage)
Is weight neutral or weight loss and is FIRST line of therapy after diet and exercise
Metformin
Has GI side effects, transient, start slow then increase, take with food to decease GI effects
Metformin
What should be discontinued when having general anesthesia or procedure with contrast dye?
Glucophage (don’t restart for 48-72 hours until serum creatinine is documented)
1st generation sulfonlyureas
Orinase and diabenese
2nd generation sulfonlyureas
Glucotrol, glynase, diabeta
Tends to have fewer side effects but are more predictable and expensive
2nd generation sulfonlyureas
3rd generation sulfonlyureas
Amaryllis
Main site of action for sulfonlyureas
Pancreas (stimulates beta cell production by pancreas)
Side effects of sulfonlyureas
Hypoglycemia and weight gain
Lowers A1c by 1-2% and stimulates insulin production
Sulfonlyureas
Meglitinides
Prandin (repaglinide) and starlix
Meglitinides main site if action
Pancreas (stimulates pancreas to produce more insulin)
Side effects of meglitinides
Hypoglycemia and weight gain
Onset more rapid than sulfonlyureas and duration shorter
Meglitinides
Take only with meals!
Meglitinides
