Meglitinide counseling points
administer BEFORE MEALS (15-30 mins prior)
- skip a meal, skip a dose*
- Ask about hypoglycemia and weight gain with every refill
Biguanides MOA and site of action
1- decrease glucose output from the liver
2- increase peripheral muscle glucose sensitivity
site of action: liver and peripheral muscle
(metformin)
What is metformin optimal dosing?
IR: 850-1000 BID
ER: 1000-2000 qd
–titrate SLOWLY
Metformin renal dosing
- eGFR > 45 = none
- eGRF 30-45: half dose, up to 1000mg/day
- eGFR < 30 : D/C
Metformin drug interactions
radiopaque contrast dyes- stop 24 hours before and hold for 48 hours after
-lactic acidosis & cardio protection
Biguanides counseling points
- take with food to decrease GI effects
- start low, go slow
- potential vitamin B12 deficiency (have pts check at least once a year)
Biguanide monitoring
- renal function(eGFR)
- GI intolerance
- FBG/PPG
- signs/symptoms of lactic acidosis(SOB, muscle cramping, tachycardia)
- takes 6-8 weeks for peak effect
Thiazolidinediones (TZD) moa & SOA
1- increase peripheral muscle glucose sensitivity
2- decrease glucose output from the liver
SOA: muscle and adipose tissue
Thiazolidindione agent & dosing
-Pioglitazone 15-30mg PO qd MDD= 45 mg/day
Pioglitazone side effects
- edema! (may worsen HF)
- weight gain
- hepatic toxicity
- bladder cancer (check to see if they have a fam hx)
- fractures
Drug interactions with Pioglitazone
- oral contraceptives (can reduce efficacy)
- progestins
- pazopanib
Thiazolinedione Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity/T1dm/DKA
- ALT>2.5XULN
- NYHA CLASS III-IV
- CHF(symptomatic)
- ACS
- Active bladder cancer
Thiazolidinediones black box warning
- congestive heart failure(Rosiglitazone/Pioglitazone)
- myocardial infarction(Rosiglitazone only)
Thiazolidinediones counseling points
- take at the same time once a day
- ask about edema and weight gain each refill
Thiazolidinediones clinical pearls
- pioglitazone has potential ASCVD benefit
- increase HF risk
- can cause bone fractures and bladder cancer
alpha-glucasidase inhibitors (AGI) MOA & SOA
- decreases breakdown of sucrose & complex carbs in brush border of the small intestine
- SOA: gut
AGI drugs/dosing
- Acarbose: 25mg TID (mdd 50)
- Miglitol: 25mg PO TID (mdd 100)

AGI side effects (super intense)
GI!
- abdominal pain
- diarrhea

- bloating
AGI counseling points
- start low, go slow
- take with the first bite of each meal (skip a meal- skip the dose)
- ask about GI upset and meal timing at every refill)
Gliptins/DPP4-i MOA
- potentiate the effects of incretin hormones (already low in diabetes pts)
- -> blocks incretin degradation & potentiates insulin release
Gliptins/DPP4-i SOA
