Q

diabetic medications that work on the intestine

A

alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, some injectable hormones

46
Q

Action of sulfonylureas

A
  • stimulates release of insulin from pancreas
  • may improve insulin binding to insulin receptors
  • may increase number of insulin receptors with prolonged use
  • may reduce basal hepatic glucose secroneti
47
Q

Adverse effects sulfonylureas

A
  • hypoglycemia espeically in older patients

  • long term failure in 30-50% of patients
49
Q

Action biguanide

A
  • inhibits hepatic glucose production
  • increases tissue sensitivity to insulin
  • improves transportation of glucose to cells
  • does not stimulate insulin secretion (lowers FBG)
50
Q

Adverse effects biguanide

A
  • N/V/D
  • headache
  • weakness
  • dizziness
  • drowsiness
    *
51
Q

Nursing consideratons biguanide

A

  • assess renal function prior to starting and annually
  • administer with meals to decrease GI upset
52
Q

Action of dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitor

A
  • slows the inactivation of incretin hormones
  • lowers glucagon secretion
  • slows gastric emptying
53
Q

Adverse effects dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 inhibitor

A
  • hypoglycemia
  • N/D/V
  • pancreaitis
