Q

What are the rapid acting inulin products

A

Insulin Lispro (Humalog)
Insulin aspart (Novolog)
Insulin glulisine (Apidra)

26
Q

Which type of DM may require higher doses of insulin and why

A

Type 2 because of resistance patterns

27
Q

What are adverse reactions to insulin

A

Weight gain
Somogyi effect
Dawn phenomenon
Hypoglycemia

28
Q

What is Somogyi effect

A

If blood sugar drops too low in the early morning, hormones are released to help reverse the low blood sugar and may have the opposite effect

29
Q

What is the Dawn phenomenon

A

normal rise in blood sugar as a persons body prepares to wake up

30
Q

What are some symptoms of hypoglycemia

A

headache
tachycardia
vertigo
anxiety
confusion
diaphoresis

31
Q

What are some GLP-1 receptor agonists

A

Exenatide
Liraglutide
Dulaglutide
**IV only

32
Q

What form of diabetes has a reduced secretion of incretin

A

Type 2

33
Q

What is the job of incretin

A

Responsible for most of the postprandial insulin secretion

34
Q

What is the action of GLP-1 agonists

A

Promote insulin secretion
enhances satiety
decrease post prandial glucagon secretion
promotes beta cell proliferation

35
Q

Which medications stimulate insulin secretion

A

Sulfonylureas
meglitinides

36
Q

Which medications increase insulin sensitivity

A

Biguanides (Metformin)
Thiazolindediones (Glitazones)

37
Q

What are some oral agents to manage DM

A

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors
Alpha glucosidase inhibitors
Sodium-glucose co-transport 2 inhibitors

38
Q

What are first generation sulfonylureas (Not currently used)

A

Tolbutamide
Chlorpropamide

39
Q

What are second generation of sulfonylureas

A

Glyburide
Glipizide
Glimepiride

40
Q

What is the MOA for sulfonylureas

A

Stimulates insulin release from pancreatic beta cells

decreases production of hepatic glucose

increased sensitivity of insulin in the periphery

41
Q

What are the adverse reactions and contraindications of sulfonylureas

A

Weight gain
hyperinsulinemia
hypoglycemia

Contra: Sulfa allergy / preggers

caution w/: Hepatic or renal insufficiency, geriatric patients

42
Q

What drugs are meglitinides

A

Repaglinide
Nateglinide

43
Q

What is the MOA of meglitinides

A

release insulin from pancreatic beta cells

*has rapid onset and short duration

44
Q

What are the ADRs for metglitinides

A

Hypeglycemia
caution w/ renal/hepatic insufficiency (repaglinide)

45
Q

What is the MOA of metformin (biguanides)

A

Decreases hepatic gluconeogenesis and increases insulin sensitivity

46
Q

What is the ADR for metformin

A

abdominal discomfort

47
Q

What are the contraindications of metformin

A

hepatic/renal impairment
DKA
AMI
CHF
IV contract
Alcoholism

48
Q

What drugs are thiazolidinediones (glitazones)

A

inhibitor of alpha-glucosidase in intestinal brush border

delay digestion of carbs which lowers postprandial glucose levels
