DM2- Oral Meds Flashcards
What is the Somogyi effect and what 2 things cause it?
Hyperglycemia in the morning due to:
- Too little food the night before
- Too much insulin the night before
Infections and corticosteroids cause hypo or hyperglycemia?
Hyperglycemia
Hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia?
- Shaking
- tachycardia
- sweating
- anxiety
- dizziness
- hunger
- impaired vision
- weakness, fatigue
- HA
- Irritable
Hypoglycemia
(this is life threatening)
Hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia?
- Thirst
- Dry skin
- frequent urination
- Hunger
- blurred vision
- Drowsiness
- Nausea
Hyperglycemia
If you aren’t sure if the patient is hypo or hyperglycemic should you give them glucose or no?
Yes! Hypoglycemia can kill them!
What is first line tx for T2DM
Metformin
+
Lifestyle changes
POPCORN
What type of medication is Metformin
Biguanide
MOA of Metformin?
Enhances insulin sensitivity of hepatic and peripheral (muscle) tissues, allowing for increased glucose uptake
When starting your patient on Metformin, when should you advise them to first take it
With the largest meal of the day
(to avoid GI upset)
What is the common ending associated with the Thiazolidinediones?
“-glitazones”
What are the 2 Thiazolidinediones
- Pioglitazone
- Rosiglitazone
MOA of Thiazolidinediones (“-glitazones”)
Enhances insulin sensitivity in muscle, liver and fat tissues indirectly
What are the 2 ADEs of Thiazolidinediones
- Fluid retention
- Fat accumulation- weight gain
What is the special ADE of Pioglitazone
may decrease triglycerides
T/F: Thiazolidinediones is great for people with CVD
FALSE
This group of meds is NOT for patients with CVD
What are the 2 Sulfonylureas
- Glipizide
- Glimepiride
What are the 2 Metaglinides? What is the common ending?
“-glinides”
- Regaglinide
- Nateglinide
What are the 2 side effects of Sulfonylureas and Metaglinides?
- Weight gain
- Significant Hypoglycemia
Although Sulfonylureas and Metaglinides are 3rd line, why might you prescribe these?
Low cost- it might be what the patient can afford
Which group of meds are second line monotherapy or added to Metformin regimen?
GLP-1 receptor agonists (“-glutide”, “-natide”)
The following meds are part of which group of DM meds?
- Exenatide
- Liraglutide
- Albiglutide
- Dulaglutide
- Semaglutide
- Lixisenatide
GLP-1 receptor agonists (incretins)
What is the MOA of GLP-1? (3)
- Enhance insulin secretion
- Suppresses inappropriately high postprandial _glucagon secretion**_
- Decreases hepatic glucose production
Which group of meds?
- Increases satiety
- slows gastric emptying
*
GLP-1
Does GLP-1 cause weight loss or gain?
weight loss
Which group of meds is considered an alternative to basal insulin in patients with < 9% A1c, obesity, no symptomatic hyperglycemia
GLP-1
What is the ending for DPP-4 inhibitors
“Gliptans”
(Sitagliptin, saxagliptin, linagliptin, alogliptin)
which group of meds:
Prolong the half life** of endogenously produced **GLP-1** and **GIP, which:
- Reduces inappropriately elevated postprandial glucagon
- improves B cell response to hyperglycemia
DPP-4
What 2 side effects warrant discontinuation of DPP-4 meds
- Urticaria
- Facial edema
What is the ending for SGLT-2 inhibitors?
“gliflozins“
(canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin)
What is the MOA of SGLT-2?
Inhibition of SGLT-2 lowers the renal tubular threshold for glucose reabsorption
Glucosuria caused by SGLT-2i occurs when
at lower plasma glucose concentrations
