Diabetic drugs Flashcards
What type of cell make and secretes pancreatic juice
Acinar cells
What properties make up the pancreas’ endocrine system
islets of langerhans
-beta cells
-alpha cells
-delta cells
What do beta cells secrete
insulin
what do alpha cells secrete
glucagon
What do delta cells secrete
somatostatin
What stimulates a higher secretion of insulin
High blood glucose
What hormones will cause an increase in insulin secretion
GIP
GLP-1
What is Insulins role in the body
lower BG levels
regulate metabolism (Fat & Protein)
increase K+ uptake in the cell
How does insulin lower BG levels in the body
facilitate glucose into the cells
inhibit glycogenolysis
Inhibits gluconeogenesis
When is type 1 diabetes often diagnosed
early childhood to early adulthood
What causes type 1 diabetes
autoimmune destruction of the beta cells in the pancreas
What is the treatment for type 1 diabetes
insulin
What is the greatest concern with those who have type 1 diabetes
DKA
Infection
End-organ damage from untreated hyperglycemia
What is the cause of type 2 diabetes
inability of the beta cels to produce the appropriate quantities of insulin
insulin resistance
When is type 2 diabetes typically diagnosed
after 35
What type of diabetes is most common
type 2
What are some complications of DM
Retinopathy
Nephropathy
neuropathy
CV complications
Gastroparesis, autonomic insufficiency
What is the normal glucose tolerance on FBG compared to DM
<100 vs >126
What is a normal A1C compared to DM
5.7 vs >6.5
What are the different groups of insulin that can be used to manage DM
Long acting
Intermediate acting
Rapid acting
Short acting
How is insulin typically administered
SQ
*IV in emergencies like DKA
What are some long acting insulin products
Insulin Glargine (Lantus)
Insulin detemir (Levemir)
What is an intermediate acting insulin product
neutral protamine hagedorn (NPH)
What are the short acting insulin products
regular (Humalin, Novolin)
*SQ & IV options
