w/ intermediate

Question 2

Split and mixed regimen?

Answer 2

regular or short acting insulin w/ intermediate before breakfast and dinner

Question 3

Split and mixed with bedtime intermediate?

the second intermediate-acting insulin can be held until

Answer 3

bedtime (9pm)

this improves morning fasting reading control.

Bfast: short acting

lunch: short
din: short
bed: long (glargine) —can split for 5 daily injections

maintain blood glucose level

Question 5

Basal insulin.

about 50% of daily needs.

Hypoglycemia

headache/
fatigue/
hungry/
tachycardia/
sweat/anxiety/confused/
weak/fainting/
numb at fingers and mouth due to Epi release.

15-20 g of glucose. for someone w/ <70 mg/dL

recheck in 15

Question 15

Risk factors for hypoglycemia:

Answer 15

old
dec food intake
long standing disease (many to notice)/ >10 years
recent episode
cog impairment
infection
alcohol/renal dysfx

Question 16

How can risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia be minimized?

Answer 16

20% reduction in daily basal insulin dose

low glycemic index carb feeding after exercise.

Question 17

Sxs of ketoacidosis?

Answer 17

thirsty
nausea/vomit/ab pain
SOB/weak
Fruity-scented breath
confusion
hyperglycemia
high ketones

Question 18

hyperglycemia signs

Answer 18

weak/tired
a lot of peeing
increased thirst
dec appetite
blurry vision/fruit breath
itchy/dry skin
seizure
coma

Question 19

MOA of incretin mimetic?

Answer 19

glucagon like peptide.
given 2x a day.
helps preserve beta cell function in pancreas.

suppresses appetite/inhibit glucagon secretion
reduce gastric emptying

Question 20

ADRs on incretin mimetic?

Answer 20

nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, risk of mild to moderate hypoglycemia when used with a sulfonylurea so reduce sulfonylurea dose

Question 21

hormones that stimulate insulin secretion in response to meals?

2 types?

half-life?

Answer 21

incretin: in GI

glucagon insulinotropic peptide: K cells in duodenum.jeju

glucagon like peptide in L cells.
half life is 2 mins.

Question 22

What is the Fx of incretin?

Answer 22

stimulus to insulin secretion when food is ingested
inhibit glucagon secretion
slow gastric emptying and reduce appetite.

Question 23

MOA for sulfonylureas

type 2

Answer 23

long acting insulin secreatogues (inc secretion)

block ATP sensitive K+ Channels on b-cell plasma membrane, suppress glucagon
STIMULATE APETITE
cause weight gain

Question 24

ADR of sulfonylureas

Answer 24

hypoglycemia (when u miss meal)
weight gain
bind to albumen

careful with old ppl with renal disease

not for preggo/lactating.

Question 25

What to not for sulfonylureas?

Answer 25

they cause release of insulin so if u cant produce it, you shouldn’t take it.

take 30 min before, lasts 6-8 hrs.

Question 26

Lispro?

Answer 26

short acting insulin 5 mins b4 meal, peak at 1 hr. lasts 3-5 hours

Question 27

Glarine ?

Answer 27

Peakless insulin: lasts 24 hours.
replaces basal level insulin

acts like continuous pump.

Question 28

NPH:

Answer 28

intermediate insulin
takes long to absorb but lasts long.

mix of insulin and crystalline zinc

Question 29

If someone takes a mix dose of regular insulin and NPH, when is it most likely that a hypogly

Answer 29

before lunch: reg insulin may still be effective and NPH could also effect causing hypoglycemia

Question 30

What does metformin do?

Answer 30

reduce gluconeogenesis in liver
stimulate glycolysis
improve glucose utilization
reduce carb absorbtion
increase fatty acid break down.
reduce LDLs and triglycerides
increase insulin binding 
weight loss
NO HYPOGLYCEMIA

Question 31
