diabetes medication Flashcards
matching diet and activity with insulin
type 1DM
aim for 5-10% weight loss
type 2DM
MOA metformin
Inhibition of gluconeogenesis at the liver
insulin secretion?
24 hr basal secretion but bolus after meals
Suppresses glucose production between meals and overnight
40% to 50% of daily needs
Basal insulin
Limits hyperglycemia after meals
Immediate rise and sharp peak at 1 hour
10% to 20% of total daily insulin requirement at each meal
bolus insulin (mealtime)
glucagon rescue
For emergency use if unable to resolve hypoglycemia with oral glucose
Glyburide, glipizide (immediate and extended release), glimepiride
sulfonylureas
sulfonylureas and glinides MOA
All work through closing beta cell potassium channel
glitazone MOA
activate a novel nuclear receptor (PPAR-gamma) in adipose tissue and improve insulin sensitivity in other tissues
black box for heart failure risk
glitazone
GI hormones that cause an increase in the amount of insulin released when glucose levels are normal or particularly when they are elevated.
incretins
reduce CV events in high risk patients
GLP-1 agonist
breaks down endogenous GLP-1
DPP
gliptins MOA
inhibits the breakdown of GLP-1
