Q
Aspart
A
- insulin, rapid acting
- bind insulin receptor (tyrosine kinase activity)
- liver: increase glucose stored as glycogen
- muscle: increase glycogen, protein synthesis, K+ uptake
- fat: increase TG storage
- clinical use: DM1, DM2, GDM (postprandial glucose control)
- toxicity: hypoglycemia, rare hypersensitivity rxn

3
Q
Bromocriptine
A
- dopamine receptor (D2) agonist
- can have modest effect on treating diabetes
4
Q
Regular insulin
A
- short acting
- clinical use: DM1, DM2, GDM, DKA (IV), hyperkalemia (+glucose), stress hyperglycemia
- toxicity: none
5
Q
NPH
A
- insulin, intermediate acting
- combination of insulin (neg. charged) and protamine (pos. charged) such that neither is present in uncomplexed form
- action is highly unpredictable and clinical use is waning
- clinical use: DM1, DM2, GDM
6
Q
Glargine
A
- insulin, long acting
- “peakless”
- clinical use: DM1, DM2, GDM
- basal glucose control
7
Q
Detemir
A
- insulin, long acting
- clinical use: DM1, DM2, GDM
- basal glucose control
8
Q
Metformin
A
- decreases hepatic glucose output
- decreases fasting glucose
- decreases hepatic insulin resistance
- targets the liver
- decreases gluconeogenesis, increases glycolysis, increases peripheral glucose uptake (insulin sensitivity)
- DOES NOT increase insulin release
- clinical use: PO, first-line therapy in DM2; can be used in pts w/o islet fxn
- toxicity: GI upset; most serious adverse effect is lactic acidosis (thus contraindicated in renal failure)
9
Q
Tolbutamide
A
- first generation sulfonylureas
- seretogogue
- close K+ channel in beta-cell membrane, so cell depolarizes and triggers insulin release via influx of Ca2+
- clinical use: stimulate release of endogenous insulin in DM2; require some islet fxn, so useless in DM1
- chronic (weeks) therapy decreases glucagon in circulation
- toxicity: risk of hypoglycemia increases in renal failure
- first generation toxicity: disulfiram-like effects
- second generation toxicity: hypoglycemia
10
