Drugs For Diabetes Dr. Konorev Flashcards
Insulin activates what 2 things
Glycolysis + Glycogen synthase
2 drug classes that can treat T1D
Insulins + Amylin Analog
Rapid Acting Insulins
- 3 of them
- Clinical use + administration
- Duration
- Aspart, Lispro, Glulisine
- Postprandial hyperglycemia (Take before meal, IV)
- 1hr-3hr
Short Acting Insulins
- 1 of them
- Clinical use + administration
- Duration
- Regular Insulin
- Base insulin regulation + Postprandial hyperglycemia (IV 45min before meal) + Overnight coverage
- 3hr-5hr
Intermediate Acting Insulins
- 1 of them
- Clinical use + administration
- Duration
- NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagerdorn) use is declining = protamine + Zn insulin
- Maintenance + overnight
- 10hr-12hr
Long Acting Insulins
- 2 of them
- Clinical use + administration
- Duration
- Detemir (Lys 29, rapid absorption + binds to albumin) + Glargine (low pH solvable insulin)
- Maintenance + overnight
- 24hr, inject 1-2 times a day
Insulin is used also in what besides DM
Hyperkalemia sever, (Insulin + glucose) = takes long time
Loop Diuretics also given for immediate elimination of K+
Artificial or bionic pancreas
Insulin delivery system )glucose sensor + microchip controlling + insulin pump
= NON invasive, placed over BVs on skin to measure blood glucose with electromagnetic waves
Adverse effects insulin
- Hypoglycemia
- Lipodystrophy : hypertrophy of SubQ fat at injection site
- IgG against insulin = resistance
- Allergic reaction rare
- Hypokalemia*
Hypoglycemia is usually caused with during insulin tx
- Delay of meals or missed meal
- Exercises
- Insulin overdose
Hypoglycemia SX
- CNS, confusion, coma,
- Tachy, sweating, tremor, palpitations, hunger, N,
TX = give glucagon or sucrose/glucose
Amylin Analog
- What is it
- MOA
- Pancreatic H made by B-cells
- Enhance insulin action by (inhibiting glucagon secretion, lower gastric emptying for more absorption time, increase satiety)
Amylin Analog:
- 1 drug
- Clinical use
- Duration
- Parmlintide SUB Q* administration
- T1D**, T2D with mealtime insulin, (injected with insulin before meals when there is no insulin in the pt)
- 3hr
Pramlintide side effects
- N, V, Hypoglycemia, Constipation
Glucose to insulin release happens how
- Glucose binds GLUT 4
- K+ channel closes = increases ATP
- Depolarization happens
- Ca+ goes into cell (when PKA is phosphorylation)
- Insulin leaves cell
