most effective treatment is a combination of lifestyle changes and pharmacologic management.

34
Q

What diet is recommended for the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease (CVD)?

A

Mediterranean diet.

35
Q

What should be increased in the diet to help prevent CVD?

36
Q

What is a key characteristic of the Mediterranean diet?

A

37
Q

What is the primary pharmacologic treatment required for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus?

A

Type 1 DM requires insulin replacement.

38
Q

What is the pharmacologic treatment that is effective only for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus?

A

Medications specifically designed for Type 2 DM. (metformin)

39
Q

What are some mechanisms of action used by medications to lower blood sugar in Type 2 DM?

A

Slow the rate of glucose release by the liver
- Stimulate insulin secretion by β cells of the pancreas
- Block glucose reabsorption in the kidneys
- Enhance insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues

40
Q

Do medications for Type 2 DM include insulin replacement?

A

No, artificial replacement of insulin is typically associated with Type 1 DM, though some Type 2 patients may eventually require insulin.

41
Q

What is one of the primary mechanisms of action of Metformin (Glucophage)?

A

Metformin slows the rate of glucose released by the liver.

42
Q

What is the risk of hypoglycemia when using Metformin alone?

A

very low risk of hypoglycemia when Metformin is used alone

43
Q

Does Metformin affect insulin secretion at the pancreas?

A

No, Metformin does not affect insulin secretion at the pancreas.

44
Q

What risk is associated with increased exercise while taking Metformin?

A

There is an increased risk of lactic acidosis with exercise.

45
Q

What are GLP-1 agonists?

A

Medications that mimic a gastrointestinal hormone released during digestion, stimulating the pancreas to produce and release insulin.

46
Q

What is one benefit of GLP-1 agonists besides insulin stimulation?

A

successful in promoting weight reduction.

47
Q

prevent the breakdown of GLP-1, allowing it to act on the pancreas to produce and release insulin.

A

function of DPP-4 inhibitors?

48
Q

How do sulfonylureas work?

A

directly stimulate the pancreas to release insulin.

49
Q

What is a significant risk associated with the use of sulfonylureas?

A

higher risk of hypoglycemia compared to other insulin stimulators.

50
Q

What are Thiazolidinediones (TZDs)?

A

TZDs are a class of medications that enhance insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue, muscle, and liver.

51
Q

How do TZDs affect insulin utilization?

A

TZDs allow insulin to be utilized at the cell membrane, making cells more receptive to blood glucose.

52
Q

medications that block glucose absorption in the kidneys, allowing for higher excretion of glucose in urine.

A

SGLT-2 inhibitors

53
Q

primary effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors on glucose levels?

A

lower blood glucose levels by increasing glucose excretion in urine.

54
Q

How does sustained physical activity affect insulin secretion?

A

Sustained physical activity reduces insulin secretion.

55
Q

How is decreased insulin secretion compensated during exercise?

A

It is compensated for by heightened sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin, leading to more rapid glucose uptake by muscles.

56
Q

how is HF best pharmacologically managed?

A

treating HTN & CAD with combination of BBs and ACE/ARB

57
Q

there is a high likelihood that a patient with HF is on what combination of medications?
