Diabetes Flashcards
What is the MOA of Metformin?
Activates AMPK to inc. insulin sensitivity
What AEs are associated with meformin?
GI effects
```
Lactic acidosis
inc. risk with patients who have renal/hepatic impairment; hypoxia; excess EtOH use
~~~
What is the efficacy, hypoglycemia risk, and weight loss associated with Metformin?
efficacy: HIGH
H risk: low
weight: neutral/dec.
What AEs are associated with insulin?
hypoglycemia
What is the efficacy, hypoglycemia risk, and weight loss associated with insulin?
E = HIGHEST! H = high W = inc.
what drugs are sulfonylureas?
Glipizide
Glyburide
Glimepiride
What’s the MOA of SUs?
inhibit ATP-sensitive K+ channel
What is the efficacy, hypoglycemia risk, and weight loss associated with SUs?
E = high H = moderate W = inc.
what AEs are associated with SUs?
hypoglycemia
caution in renal or hepatic disease
What is the MOA of non-SUs?
inhibit ATP-sensitive K+ channel
What drugs are non-SUs?
Nateglinide
Repaglinide
What AEs are associated with non-SUs?
hypoglycemia
What is the efficacy, hypoglycemia risk, and weight loss associated with non-SUs?
E = high H = intermediate W = gain
What drugs are GLP-1 R agonists?
Exenatide
What is the MOA of GLP-1 R agonists?
GLP has multiple effects: CNS = inc. satiety liver = dec. glucose output stomach = slowed emptying Beta cells = inc. insulin secretion
What AEs are associated with GLP-1 R agonists?
GI
pancreatitis
What CI and DDIs are associated with GLP-1 R agonists?
CI = thyroid C cell tumor DDI = take apart from other drugs since it delays gastric emptying!
What is the efficacy, hypoglycemia risk, and weight loss associated with GLP-1 R agonists?
E = high H = low W = dec.
What drugs are Thiazolidinediones (TZDs)?
Pioglitazone
Rosiglitazone
What is the MOA of TZDs?
PPAR gamma agonist
What AEs are associated with TZDs?
Edema
Bone loss
Hepatotoxic
Inc. risk for bladder cancer
What’s the CI for TZDs?
HF
What drugs improve lipid profile?
Metformin
TZDs
What is the efficacy, hypoglycemia risk, and weight loss associated with TZDs?
E = high H = low W = inc.
