18
Q

How do the short acting insulins increase pharmacokinetics?

A

mutated to block formation of dimers and hexamers which allows faster absorption

19
Q

When are short acting insulins used?

A

Postprandial hyperglycemia

20
Q

When is regular insulin used?

A

Basal insulin maintenance
Overnight maintenance
Can be given IV in emergencies

21
Q

A patient wants to stabilize their blood sugar throughout the day with 1-2 injections. What can be prescribed?

A

Long acting insulins Detemir or Glargine

22
Q

Can insulins be used for TIDM and TIIDM?

A

Yes, compared to regulators of insulin secretion which works only on TIIDM

23
Q

What BMP abnormality can be corrected with insulin?

A

Hyperkalemia- Insulin drives K+ into cells via activation of Na/K ATPase

24
Q

Adverse effects of Insulin

A
Hypoglycemia if over-dosed (most common)
Lipodistrophy at injection site
Insulin resistance
Type I hypersensitivity reaction
Hypokalemia
25
Q

What hormone released by B-cells of the pancreas enhances insulin action?

A

Amylin

26
Q

When is Pramlintide indicated?

A

Adjunct to Post prandial insulin

27
Q

What endogenous factors increase insulin release?

A
B2 agonists (Terbutaline, Albuterol) 
Incretins (GLP-1 agonists)
28
Q

What endogenous factors decrease insulin release?

A

Somatostatin

a2-agonists (Clonidine)

29
Q

4 targets to regulate insulin secretion

A
  1. Gs (stimulate insulin)
  2. Gi (decrease)
  3. K+ channel (block to decrease)
  4. Ca2+ channel
30
Q

What are incretins?

A

GI hormones that decrease blood glucose

31
Q

Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) MOA

A

Promotes B-cell proliferation
Insulin gene expression
Increases glucose-dependent insulin secretion
Promotes satiety

32
Q

What is the action of Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4?

A

Breaks down GLP-1

33
Q

How do the Sulfonylureas work to increase insulin release?

A

Blocks K+ channel by binding to SUR1 which depolarizes the cell

34
Q

Adverse affects of Sulfonylureas

A

Hypoglycemia
Weight gain
CYP inhibitor

35
Q

What other drugs increase the efficacy of sulfonylureas leading to hypoglycemia risk?

A

NSAIDS!!

36
Q

When are the meglitinides recommended to take?

A

Orally before a meal

37
Q

What are advantages of Metformin?

A

Doesn’t cause hypoglycemia
No weight gain
Not metabolized (excreted unchanged)

38
Q

Side effects of Metformin

A

GI issues

Lactic Acidosis under hypoxic conditions

39
Q

Thiazolidinediones MOA

A

PPARy ligand that increases Glut4

40
Q

Use of Thiazolidinediones

A

T2DM and is a euglycemic drug (will not cause hypoglycemia)

41
Q

Adverse effects of Thiazolidinediones

A

Increased vascular permeability
Increased ENaC expression leading to edema
Osteoporosis risk

42
Q

How do the SGLT2 inhibitors work?

A

Block reabsorption of Glucose in the PCT

43
Q

If you’re patient is hypotensive/hypovolemic, should you use SGLT2 inhibitors

A

Only after correcting volume due to the osmotic diuresis effect the -flozins

44
Q

a-glycosidade inhibitor MOA

A

Blocks breakdown of polysaccharides into mono’s, which inhibits their absorption.
