What hormones increase blood glucose?

- GLucocorticoids
Which of the following actions contributes to antihyperglycemic effect of insulin?
- Activation of gluconeogenesis
- Suppression of lgycolysis
- Activation of glycogenolysis
- Suppression of glucose transport into cells
- Activation of glycogen synthesis
- Activation of glycogen ssynthesis
- rest incr. production of glucose
What does insulin do to gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis?
Inhibits them
What are rapid acting insulins used for?
Postprandial hyperglycemia → taken before a meal as sc injections
What is short acting regular insulin used for?
- basal insulin maintenance
- overnight coverage
- 45 minutes before a meal
- Can be given IV in urgent situations
What is NPH?
- complex of protamine with zinc insulin
- used for basal insulin maintenance and or overnight coverage
- use is declining being replaced by long acting insulins
What is Detemir?
- long acting insulin rapidly absorbed into blood but binds strongly to albumin, allows slow release
What is Glargine?
- long acting insulin made by changing amino acids iin both A and B chains, changing the pKa of insulin
- used for basal insulin maintenance
What is an unexpected indication for insulin?
- Severe hyperkalemia
- Insulin + glu + furosemide
- IV insulin activates Na/K ATPase to shift K from extracellular fluid into cells
- K is then eliminated using loop diuretics
24 yo woman wants to tighten control of her diabetes to improve long term prognosis. Which regimen is most appropriate?
- morning insulin injections mixed insulin lispro and insulin aspart
- injections of mixed regular insulin and insulin glargine before bed
- morning and evening injections of regular insulin supplemented by small amounts of NPH at meals
- Morning injections of insulin glargine supplemented by insulin lispro at meal times
- Morning injections of insulin glargine supplemented by insulin lispro at meal times
- glargine is long acting used for basal coverage
- lispro is rapid acting used for post prandiol control
