20
Q

Metformin is contraindicated for pts w/ (2)

A

heart failure

renal failure

21
Q

T/F: Metformin increases insulin sensitivity and leads to increase in insulin levels.

A

False. It does NOT do either of these features.

22
Q
Name the class of drug:
Acarbose
A

Alpha glucosidase inhibitors

23
Q
Name the class of drug:
Inhibit upper GI enzymes that convert complex polysaccharide carbohydrate in monosaccharides → slow absorption of glucose
A

Alpha glucosidase inhibitors (Acarbose)

24
Q

T/F: Alpha glucosidase inhibitors does NOT affect insulin secretion

A

True. Therefore, no hypoglycemia

25
Q
Name the class of drug:
Pioglitazone
A

PPAR gamma agonists: thiazolidinediones

26
Q

PPAR gamma agonists is contraindicated for pts w/ ___

A

CHF

27
Q

Name the drug:
• Lower blood glucose by enhancing effects of insulin
• Enhance fat storage → Lower plasma free fatty acid

A

PPAR gamma agonist: Pioglitazone

Expressed in adipose tissue → regulates genes involved in adipocyte differentiation, fatty acid uptake/storage, and glucose uptake

28
Q
Name the class of drug:
Glipizide, glimepiride, glyburide
A

Sulfonylureas

29
Q

Sulfonylureas act by:

A
  • Binds to sulfonylurea receptor on beta cell membrane → inhibit ATP sensitive K+ cannels → insulin release
  • Depolarize cell → calcium influx → insulin release WITHOUT the presence of glucose
30
Q

T/F: Sulfonylureas induces glucose independent insulin secretion.

A

True. Must take with food to avoid hypoglycemia

31
Q
Name the class of drug:
Exenatide, liraglutide
A

GLP-1 agonists

32
Q
Which of the following does NOT enhance insulin secretion?
A. Sulfonylureas
B. GLP-1 agonists
C. DDP-IV inhibitors 
D. PPAR gamma agonists
A

D. Enhances effects of insulin

33
Q

Which of the following is NOT glucose dependent in enhancing insulin secretion?
A. GLP-1 agonist
B. Sulfonylureas
C. DDP-IV inhibitors

A

B. Glucose independent

34
Q

GLP-1 agonists are contraindicated for pts w/ ___

A

hx of pancreatitis

35
Q

T/F: Exenatide, liraglutide causes weight loss due to nausea from slow down gastric emptying.

A

True. GLP-1 agonists

36
Q
Name the class of drug:
Sitagliptin, saxagliptin, linagliptin

Effect/Mechanism:

A

DDP-IV inhibitors

• Makes endogenous GLP-1 last longer
• Glucose dependent insulin secretion
o NO hypoglycemia

37
Q

T/F: DDP-IV inhibitors cause weight loss.

A

False.

38
Q
Name the class of drug:
Canagliflozin
A

SGLT-2 inhibitors

39
Q

Name the drug:

Promote renal excretion of glucose

A

Canagliflozin: SGLT-2 inhibitors

40
Q

T/F: Canaglifozin (SGLT-2 inhibitor) may cause hypoglycemia.

A

False.

41
Q

Screening for microvascular complications should be performed at the time of diagnosis in ____

A

Type 2 DM

Adult onset Type 1 DM

42
Q

T/F: Screening at the time of diagnosis of DM should be performed to prevent macrovascular complications

A

False. Screen test for macrovascular complications is NOT recommended: screening is asymptomatic pt does NOT improve outcome

43
Q

T/F: Tighter glycemic control decreases macrovascular disease in type 2 diabetes.

A

False. Type 1 diabetes

Tighter glycemic control does NOT prevent macrovascular disease in type 2 diabetes

44
