Diabetes Flashcards
Insulin Physiology
- Metabolic actions: overall anabolic effect, anabolism- constructive part of metabolism
- insulin promotes cell growth and division
What is used for insulin overdose?
Glucagon
Types of insulin (4)
I. Rapid-acting (onset <30 min, short duration 3-5hr)
II. Regular or short (onset 15-60 min, duration 6-10 hrs)
III. Intermediate acting (onset 1-2hrs, duration 14-24hrs)
IV. Long-acting (onset 70 min, duration 14-24hrs)
Insulins (7)
- Insulin lispro [Humalog] - rapid
- Insulin aspart [Novolog] - rapid
- Insulin glulisine [Apidra] - rapid
- Regular insulin [Humulin R, Novolin R], natural insulin - regular or short
- Neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH) insulin [Novolin N, Humulin N] - intermediate
- Insulin detemir [Levemir] - long
- Insulin largine [Lantus] - long
Which insulin should not be mixed with other insulins?
Insulin detemir [Levemir] - long acting
Which insulin is the only one able to be administered IV?
Regular insulin
Insulin AE
hypoglycemia
lipodystrophies (depositions of subq fat at site of injection)
allergic rxns
Oral Hypoglycemics (7)
- Sulfonylureas (SU)
- Meglitinides (GLN)
- Biguanides
- Thiazolidinediones - TZD (Glitazones)
- Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitors (AGI)
- New agent: “DPP-4 inhibitors”
- New agent: SGLT2 inhibitors
Sulfonylureas (SU) (4)
Glipizide [Diabeta] *
Glyburide [Glucotrol] *
Glimepiride [Amaryl]
Chlorpropamide [Diabenes] - 1st gen
Insulin Secretagogues
Meglitinides (GLN) (2)
Repaglinide [Prandin]*
Nateglinide [Starlix]
Insulin Secretagogues
Sulfonylureas & Meglitinides AE
hypoglycemia
weight gain
Insulin Secretagogues
MOA: Stimulate insulin release from pancreatic islets -> lower bloo dglucose levels
risk of hypoglycemia!!!
Biguanides (1)
Metformin [Glucophage]
Insulin Sensitizers
Biguanides AE
GI effects: decrease appetite, nausea, diarrhea
May reduce vitamin B12 absorption
BBW: lactic acidosis if improperly prescribed
Thiazolidinediones - TZD (Glitazones)
Pioglitazone [Actos] *
Rosiglitazone [Avandia]
Insulin Sensitizers
