40
which drugs help with postprandial hyperglycemia
alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, Byetta
41
How does insulin effect K?
it increases K uptake into cells
42
how does insulin effect adipose tissue?
helps to breakdown fat
43
how does insulin effect muscle?
increases glycogen and protein synthesis
44
how does insulin effect liver?
increases storage of glucose as glycogen | inhibits glycogenolysis, glucomeogensis, ketogenesis
45
insulin analog example

When is short acting insulin given, peak? duration?
given 30-45 minutes, peaks at 1-5 hours and lasts about 6-10 hours
50
Intermediate-acting insulin
NPH
51
how fast is intermediate-acting insulin, peak? and duration?
1-2 hours, peaks 6-14 hours and lasts 16-24 hours
52

55
when mixing NPH which is drawn up first?
short acting (Regular (Humulin) Novolin R)

metformin is which type of oral hypoglycemic?
Biguanides
61
Biguanides
metformin
62
most common side effects of Biguanides (metformin)
GI upset, B12 deficiency
63
when are Biguanides (metformin) given to a non diabetic?
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), to increase changes of pregnancy, prevention of type 2
64
which antidiabetics increase insulin secretion?
sulfonyureas, incretins, meglitinides
65
which antidiabetics increase glucose uptake and utilization?
Thiazolidinediones and Beguanides
66
In order for Biguanides to work, what is needed?
they need to be making insulin for this to work
67
Meglitinides (glinides)
Repaglinide (Prandin), Nateglinide (Starlix)
68
which type of oral hypoglycemics are Repaglinide (Prandin), Nateglinide (Starlix)
Meglitinides ("glinides")
69

70
which type of oral hypoglycemics are Rosi"glitazone" (Avandia)
Thiazolidinediones (glitazones)
71
Function of Biguanides (metformin)
prevents liver from making glucose decreases intestinal absorption of glucose increases insulin sensitivity to the tissues lowers cholesterol does NOT stimulate insulin secretion
72
oral hypoglycemic for patients with secondary beta cellfailure
metformin
73
Should you take Biguanides (metformin) with food?
no
