Q

Four (4) Examples of Intermediate Acting Insulin

A
  1. Lente (Monatard)
  2. NPH (Humulin N, Insulatard)
  3. Protamine Lispro
  4. Protamine Aspart
17
Q

70% Ultralente and 30% Semilente

A

Lente (Monatard)

18
Q

It contains insulin and protamine (no excess of protamine).

A

NPH (Humulin N, Insulatard)

19
Q

This helps control nocturnal hepatic glucose production. Starting the day with lower morning glucose levels will improve glucose tolerance throughout the day.

A

Intermediate Acting Insulin

20
Q

Four (4) Examples of Long Acting with Slow Onset Insulin

A
  1. Ultralente
  2. PZI (Protamine Zinc Insulin)
  3. Insulin Glargine (Lantus)
  4. Insulin Determir
21
Q

It is also known as “Peak Less Insulin”

A

Insulin Glargine (Lantus)

22
Q

It is known to play major role in the stabilization of insulin hexamers and in the pancreatic storage of insulin because it can enhance insulin binding to hepatocyte membranes.

A

Zinc

23
Q

(T/F): Drug treatment should be added only when diet, physical activity and education have not achieved individual treatment targets.

A

24
Q

Oral Hypoglycemic Agents (OHAs)

A
  1. Insulin Releasers / Secretagogues
  2. Insulin Sensitizers
25
Q

Two (2) Examples of Insulin Releasers / Secretagogues

A
  1. Sulfonylureas
  2. Meglitinides
26
Q

The 1st line drug treatment in type 2 DM patients who are not very obese. It stimulates insulin release from the pancreatic beta cells.

A

Sulfonylureas

27
Q

Two (2) Types of Sulfonylureas

A
  1. First Generation
  2. Second Generation
28
Q

A less potent and more A/Es.

A

First Generation Sulfonylureas

29
Q

Drug/s under First Generation Sulfonylureas

A
  1. Chlorpropamide (Diabinese)
  2. Acetohexamide (Dymelor)
  3. Tolbutamide (Orinase)
  4. Tolazamide
30
Q

A more potent and less A/Es.

A

Second Generation Sulfonylureas

31
Q

Drug/s under Second Generation Sulfonylureas

A
  1. Glibenclamide (Euglucon)
  2. Gliclazide (Diamicron)
  3. Glimepiride (Solosa)
  4. Glipizide (Glucotrol)
  5. Glyburide
32
Q

Binding closes the linked ATP-sensitive potassium channels, which leads to decreased potassium influx and subsequent depolarization of the beta-cell membrane. The voltage-dependent calcium channels open and result in an influx of calcium, causing translocation and exocytosis of secretory granules of insulin to the cell surface (insulin releaser).

A

Meglitinides

33
Q

Drug/s under Meglitinides

A
  1. Repaglinide (Prandin, Novonorm)
  2. Nateglinide (Starlix)
34
Q

Two (2) Examples of Insulin Sensitizers

A
  1. Biguanides
  2. Thiazolidinediones
35
Q

It is also known as “Euglycemic Agents”; It enhances insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake in the liver and muscles.

A

Biguanides
