Q

Metformin

A

(BiGuanides) / insuline sensitizer
DOC DM2 initial Tx for all types: under-over wgt and normal wgt
-reduces BS only (no effect on Insulin levels):
reduces hepatic glucose production and increases glucose uptake by cells
-NO HYPOglycemia, NO WGT GAIN
SE:
1) GI (bloat, gas) so TITRATE SLOWLY: start with 500mg before largest meal for 1 week, then increase to 500 BID for 1 wk, then to 1000 BID
2) LACTIC ACIDOSIS: cleared by kidney so avoid if cr >1.5 (men) cr > 1.4(women)
3) Iodine CONTRAST DYE: stop 2 days BF contrast and resume only after check cr and kidney fx is normal

Q

DM pathogenesis

A
  • increasing insulin resistance of liver, muscle receptors (type 2)
  • Decreasing insulin secretion by panctiatic B cells
  • excessive GLUCAGON section by alpha cells of pancreas
  • impaired INCRETIN hormones (incretin mimetics: boyetta, victoria, trucitia)
  • When DM appears, 80% of beta cells are gone

Q

Incretin hormones

A

GLP-1 acts like insuline (looks like glucagon)
GIP: glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide
- Both are stimulate insulin secretion in response to food consumption
- eat -> GIP and GLP1 secreted _> bind to b cells -> increase insulin section
(Resist GPP4 degradation)

Q

Byetta/Exenatide

A

Incretin mimetic (synthetic version of GLP1)
GLP1 receptor Anogist -> binds to Beta cells -> increase insulin secreted
- MAY INCREASE BETA CELL # AND MASS!!!!!!!!!!!
- beta cell release insuline ONLY IF BS is high
decrease glucagon
- decreases hepatic glucose production (reducing insulin demand)
- increases SATIETY = eat less
- slows emptying - good for overwgt

Q

DPP4 inhibitors

A

“gliptins” (Sita, Saxa)

  • DPP4 degrades incretins
  • prevent GLP1 degradation by DPP4 -> GLP1 binds to b cell - > increase insulin secretion and glucose uptake by tissues, decreasing BS

make sure insulins are compatibel

29

A

70% NPH (intermediate) and 30% Regular (short acting/not rapid)

30
Q

Humulin 50/50

A

50% NPH (int) and 50 Regular (short acting)

31

75 intermediate lispro and 25 RAPID lispro (not regular/short)

32
Q

1 ml insulin syringes are for

A

insulin doses up to 100 units

33
Q

1/2 ml syringes are for

A

insuline doses 50 units or less

34
Q

Start DM2 patients on injectable insulin when their A1C is what?

A

near 8%

Or if fail to achieve glycemic control with triple therapy

35
Q

Injectable insulin regimen for DM2

A
  • Add insulin after triple therapy fails, dc oral drugs except Metformin: -decrease dose by 50%?.. Or to 25% ????
  • BEST: Metformin + once daily long BASAL insulin (Glargine/Determir)
  • BASAL-BOLUS regimen: once daily long basal + 3 pre-meal rapid injections (lispro, aspart, glulisine)
  • Twice daily premixed insulin (70/30 intermediate and short)
  • Ins Pump
  • can d/c some or all oral agents but continuation of metformin or TZD may help minimize insulin RESISTANCE.
36
Q

When does intermediate insulin peak? (NPH)

A

6-12 hrs after admin
(onset is 2-4 hr)
lasts 10-16 hrs

37
Q

when does Regular insuline (short acting) peak?

A

2-3 hr after admin
onset is 30 min-1 hr
effective for 3-6 hrs

38
Q

when does rapid acting insulin peak? (lispro, aspart)

A

peaks 1 hr after admin
onset is 15 min after admin
lasts for 2-4 hr

39
Q

Mixed insulin regimen 2 injections:

A

give 2/3 of 70(intermediate)/30(rapid or regular) bf breakfast
give 1/3 of 70/30 or 50/50 15 min before evening meal

40
Q

Traditional 3 injection mixed insulin:

A

2/3 of daily 70(interm)/30(rapid or regular) BF breakfast
30% rapid or regular before supper
70% intermediate BEFORE BED
(+/- rapid or reg bf lunch if necessary)

41
Q

Best insulin regimen for both type 1 and 2

A

-“peakless” glargine (Lantus) as BASAL once a day
+ rapid acting BEFORE EACH meal:
- flexible meals, adjust rapid according to carbs
- avoids “stacking” of insulins (which increases hypoglycemia)
- need 3-4 injections but greater safety

42
Q

Bolus insulin is

A

prandial insulin: rapid insulin (lispro, aspart, lisine) injected before meals

43
Q

How much insulin for type 1?

A

Split Total Dialy Insulin (TDI) dose (precalculated) 50-50 between basal (garglin) and BOLUS (“prandial”):
Basal: give all 50% as one dose in am
or can give intermediate (NPH) BID as 1/2 dose
Bolus: divide 50% into 3 doses: before breakfast, lunch and dinner (if 50% of 30 units TDI is 15, then devide by 3 and give 5 units TID)

44
Q

Physiologic vs Nonphysiologiv Insulin regimen

A

Physiologic: mimics natural Beta cell secretions
typically replace “basal” and “prandial/bolus” insulin separately (what does this mean?)

Traditionally, intermediate was said to be a basal insuline and REgular was a prandial insulin but both have basal and prandial effects

45
Q

What is an example of nonphysiologic insulin

A

Gargine (Lantus) by itself

NPH (intermediate) by itself

46
Q

example of physiologic insulin regimen

A

GLargine plus Lispro or Aspart

Long/peakless plus rapid acting (to decrease postprandial hyperglycemia)

47
Q

When would you use a 3 injection regimen: 2/3 breakfast, 30% rapid Lispro at supper and 70 NPH intermediate at bed?

A

When pt has high pre-breakfast BS levels (“due to waning or insulin” or GH increasing insulin between 3 am and 7 am):
this way NPH intermediate will peak 6-12 hrs after admin - at the time of next breakfast, preventing high pre-breakfast BS

48
Q

How to start insulin in Type 2 DM?

A

Continue but reduce oral agents to

  • 50% of max dose if using NPH intermediate or pre-mixed insulins.
  • 25% if using glargine/detemir at bed

Begin: 0.1-0.2 units/kg (15 units max) in :
- NPH intermediate, Glargine or detemir at bed
- 70/30 mix given 30 min before dinner
- 75/25 mix (Humalog) before dinner
Monitor BS and adjust accordingly
Goal is morning glucose of 90-120 more than 50% of the time, WITHOUT HYPOglycemia

49
Q

what is the goal of insulin tx in DM2

A

AM glucose of 90-120 more than 50% of the time without HYPOglycemia

50
Q

Basal insulin

A

Supresses glucose production between meals and overnight

USE FOR 50% of daily needs

51
Q

Bolus insulin (prandial/mealtime)

A
  • limits hyperglycemia after meals
  • immediate rise and peaks 1-2 hrs after meal
  • 10-20% OF TOTAL DAILY INSULIN PER MEAL (ADDS UP TO 50% OF TOTAL)
52
Q

How many grams of carbs can be offset by how many units of Lispro rapid acting insulin?

A

1 unit of Lispro covers 15 gr of carbs (CHO)

53
Q

Diabetic follow-up

A

-ask ab sx of hypo or hyperglycemia
- get result of SMBG
- Sx of complications (infections, etc)
- Vital signs - wgt, BP
- fundoscopic, cardiovascular, skin, feet exam,
neuro exam: MONOFILAMENT (?), PINPRICK (?), vibraion, ankle DTRs

54
Q

Rx for diabetic Dyslepidemias (on boards)

A
