Q

A long-acting recombinant human insulin analogue:

Actrapid
Humalog Mix 25
Hypurin porcine isophane
Insultard
Lantus
Victoza
Novomix 30
Novorapid
A

Actrapid: Fast-acting Human insulin produced by recombinant DNA technology in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Most appropriate to use in diabetic emergency and at time of surgery.

Humalog Mix 25: Insulin lispro (recombinant DNA from E.coli) + 75% insulin lispro protamine.

Hypurin porcine: pig insulin

Insulatard: human insulin with a gradual onset and long duration of action: recombinant DNA therapy in Saccharoymces cervisiae.

Lantus: long acting recombinant insulin analogue: glargine.

Victoza: Liraglutide, GLP-1 agonist, weight loss.

Novomix 30: mixture or fast acting insulin aspart and protamine insulin aspart.

Novorapid: just insulin aspart, so rapid-acting/short duration of action.

Q

Stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells with a short duration of action:

Empaglifozin
Isophane insulin
Metformin
Nateglinide
Once daily long-acting insulin analogue 
Pioglitazone
Rapid-acting insulin analogue 
Twice daily premixed insulin
A

Empaglifozin: SGLT-2, blood pressure monitoring is recommended in patients also on anti-hypertensives

Isophane insulin: NICE recommended insulin of choice for insulin initiation in type 2 diabetics.

Metformin: decreased hepatic glucose production, decreased intestinal absorption of glucose, improved insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation.

Nateglinide: stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells with a short duration of action.

Once-daily long-acting insulin analogue.

Pioglitazone: not suitable for people with or at high risk of HF: fluid retention.

Rapid-acting insulin analogue:

Twice daily premixed insulin: NICE recommended second-choice insulin if a basal-bolus regimen is not acceptable for a person with type 1 diabetes.

19
Q

Abasaglar means what?

A

a basal glargine: long acting analogue.

20
Q

What does the brand name Apidra mean?

A

rearranges to raapid: insulin glulisine

21
Q

Which of the following is the most appropriate insulin combination for a patient with Type 2 diabetes to be started on insulin - her hospital consultant has requested mealtime plus basal insulin regime:

Insulin detemir plus Humulin S
Insulin glargine plus Humulin I
Insulin determir plus Humulin I
Insulin glargine plus Humulin M3
Humulin I plus Humulin M3
A

Insuline detemir is a long acting insulin analogue.

Humulin S is a rapidly acting insulin preparation

Humulin I is isophane insulin which is intermediate-acting.

Insulin Glargine is a long acting insulin analogue.

Insulin M3 is an intermediate acting and fast acting insulin combination.

Therefore the only combination that works is insulin detemir (basal) and Humulin S (rapid for meals)

22
Q

What is Humulin S?

A

Rapidly acting insulin

23
Q

What is Humulin M3?

A

Insulin M3 is an intermediate acting and fast acting insulin combination.

24
Q

What is Humulin I?

A

Isophane insulin analogue which is intermediate acting
