Ultra-long duration insulin

A

insulin glargine

33
Q

Insulin glargine (ultra long) duration

34
Q

Glipizide - sulfonylureas use

35
Q

Glipizide moa

A

stimulates release of insulin by beta cells, may also increase response to insulin

36
Q

Glipizide adverse effects

A

hypoglycemia, weight gain

37
Q

Glipizide interactions

A

alcohol - disulfiram like reaction
drugs that intensify hypoglycemia (BBs)

38
Q

Glipizide implications

A
  • do not give with sulfa allergy
  • give 30 minutes before breakfast (missing food increases risk of hypoglycemia)
  • no alcohol
  • monitor for hypoglycemia (tachycardia, palpitations, sweating, tremors, n/v)
39
Q

Metformin - biguanides use

A

T2DM, PCOS, gestational diabetes, prediabetes, metabolic syndrome

40
Q

Metformin MOA

A
  • decrease glucose production in liver
  • decrease glucose absorption from gut
  • increase tissue response to insulin (uptake of glucose by cells)
41
Q

Metformin adverse effects

A
  • GI: decrease appetite, n/d, gas
  • Rare: lactic acidosis - hyperventilation, myalgia, malaise, somnolence
  • do not use with renal disease or CHF
42
Q

Metformin interactions

A
  • ETOH increases lactic acidosis
  • IV contrast - increases risk of lactic acidosis and renal failure
43
Q

Metformin additive effects

A
  • least likely to cause hypoglycemia
  • decrease LDL, increase HDL
  • weight loss
44
Q

Metformin implications

A
  • avoid alcohol
  • monitor for lactic acidosis
  • stop medication 1-2 days before IV contrast administration
45
Q

Sitagliptin - Gliptins - DPP-4 Inhibitors use

46
Q

Sitagliptin moa

A
  • increase insulin release in pancreas
  • reduce glucagon release in liver
  • decrease hepatic glucose production
47
Q

Sitagliptin adverse effects

A

pancreatitis, hypersensitivity reactions

48
Q

Sitagliptin implications

A
  • educate on pancreatitis (abdominal pain, maybe vomiting)
  • monitor for hypersensitivity (angioedema, anaphylaxis, SJ syndrome)
