Diabetes Flashcards
Which lab tells you if you have T1DM
C-peptide low or absent
examples of microvascular complications from hyperglycemia
retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy
examples of macrovascular complications from hyperglycemia
atheroschlerosis –> ASCVD
at what age should people be screened regardless of risk factors
45 years old
A1c to bg equivilence
6% = 126 mg/dL and each 1% increases by 28 mg/dL
diabetes vaccines
hep b, prevnar 13 and pneumococcal
Which diabetes drugs have best evidence for weight loss
SGLT2, GLP1 (semaglutide, liraglutide, dulaglutide)
which diabetes drugs do not cause hypoglycemia
DPP4, GLP-1, SGLT2, Thiazolidenediones
which class drugs do you use if ASCVD is major issue
GLP 1 (semaglutide, liraglutide, dulaglutide) or SGLT2 (empaglifozin, canaglifozen) if GFR < 30
which class to use 1st if CKD or HF is major issue
SGLT2
what is the a1c and BG cutoff for severe hyperglycemia
> 300 or aic >10
what dose to start bedtime insulin
0.1-0.2 units/kg/day (TBW)
Actoplus Met
Metformin/pioglitazone (tzd)
Janumet
Metformin/Stigaliptin (DPP4)
Invokamet
Metformin/canaglifozin (SGLT2)
fortamet, glucophage, glumteza
metformin names
metformin moa
decrease hepatic glucose output
metformin warnings
may cause B12 deficiency, do not start with GFR less than 30, stop prior to iodated contrast media
actos
pioglitazone
avandia
rosiglitazone
moa of thiaglitazones
increase muscle sensitivity to insulin to increase BG entry
pioglitazone and rosalitazone are what drug class
thiazolidinediones
glycemia/weight effects of thiazolidinediones
not known for hypoglycemia by itself but may enhance effect of insulin. May cause weight gain
thiazolidinedione side effects, warnings, and boxed warning
S/E: edema, bone fractures
Warnings: Hepatic failure, can simulate ovulation, bladder cancer
Boxed warning: Do not use in HF
Canaglifozen, empaglifozen
SGLT2 inhibitors
Invokana
Canaglifozen
Jardiance
Empaglifozen
Sitagliptin, Linagliptin
DPP-4 inhibitors
MOA of SGLT2
increase BG renal excretion (pee out glucose)
