Diabetes Flashcards
Aspart
short-acting insulin
glulisine
short-acting insulin
Lispro
short-acting insulin
Humulin or Novolin
short-acting insulin produced by recombinant DNA
NPH
intermediate acting insulin
Detemir
long-acting insulin
enhanced association with albumin
Glargine
long-acting insulin
prolonged effect with no peak
Pramlintide***
synthetic Amylin analog: amylin is hormone that is released with insulin after a meal
adjunct to meal-time insulin as a separate injection to decrease glucagon and delay gastric emptying
Dulaglutide
GLP-1 Agonist = Incretin Mimetic
1x/week
increases insulin release, decrease glucagon, delay emptying
AE: HA, N, D, Pancreatitis
Semaglutide
GLP-1 Agonist
1x/week
increases insulin release, decrease glucagon, delay emptying
AE: HA, N, D, Pancreatitis
Exenatide
GLP-1 Agonist
within 1 hr of meal
increases insulin release, decrease glucagon, delay emptying
AE: HA, N, D, Pancreatitis
Liraglutide
GLP-1 Agonist
1x/day
increases insulin release, decrease glucagon, delay emptying
AE: HA, N, D, Pancreatitis
contraindicated in FMHx of cancer***
Lixisenatide
GLP-1 Agonist
increases insulin release, decrease glucagon, delay emptying
AE: HA, N, D, Pancreatitis
Metformin
Biguanide (oral)
lowers glucose production in liver and increases body’s sensitivity to insulin
avoid in patients with poor liver function
Gliclazide
Sulfonylureas
helps body secrete insulin by binding to receptors in beta cells
preferred medication for not overweight patients bc it causes weight gain
AE: hypoglycemia (more risk with irregular meals and ETOH)
- skin reaction, cardiac effects
