29
Q

What type of drug is Metformin?

30
Q

What are the two first generation sulfonylureas?

A

Tolbutamide

Chlorpropamide

31
Q

What are the three second generation sulfonylureas?

A

Glyburide
Glimepiride
Glipizide

32
Q

What type of drug is pramlintide? MOA? Side effects?

A
  • Amylin analog
  • Decreases gastric emptying
  • Decreases glucagon production
33
Q

What is incretin and what does it do? What drugs mimic this?

A

a group of metabolic hormones that stimulate a decrease in blood glucose levels. Incretins do so by causing an increase in the amount of insulin released from pancreatic beta cells of the islets of Langerhans after eating, before blood glucose levels become elevated

GLP-1 analogs
DPP-4 inhibitors

34
Q

What is amylin, and what does it do? What medication mimics this?

A

Peptide hormone that is secreted with insulin to slow gastric emptying

DPP-4 inhibitor

35
Q

What type of drugs are the best option for pts who have a mild postprandial hyperglycemia?

A

alpha-glucosidase inhibitors

36
Q

What is the MOA of metformin? Side effect?

A

Decreases gluconeogenesis

GI upset and lactic acidosis

37
Q

What what pts is metformin contraindicated?

38
Q

What is the MOA of thiazolidinediones? What is the major side effect seen with this drug?

A

PPAR-gamma agonists, which increases insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues

Weight gain/edema
Hepatotoxic

39
Q

What are the two thiazolidinediones?

A

Pioglitazone

Rosiglitazone

40
Q

What is the suffix that denotes the thiazolidinediones?

A

“-azone”

41
Q

In whom are incretin mimetics (GLP-1 and DPP 4 inhibitors) contraindicated?

42
Q

What DM med aids with weight loss?

A

GLP-1 analogs

43
Q

What is the major contraindication to pramlintide?

A

Someone who already has gastroparesis

44

What are the effects of biguanides on:

  • Weight
  • HDL
  • LDL
  • TGs
A

47
Q

What are the effects of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors on:

  • Weight
  • HDL
  • LDL
