Endocrine II Flashcards
Exam 3
What do the Islets of Langerhans produce?
insulin, glucagon
Action of insulins (2)
inhibits catabolic actions, anabolic actions
The effects of this are predominantly opposite to insulin
glucagon
tx goals of diabetes
avoid ketoacidosis, reduce long term complications, reduce hypoglycemic events, prevent diabetes
Types of absorption delayed insulin
neutral protamine hagedorn, ultralente, insulin glargine
types of insulin
speed of onset, duration of onset
Speedy insulins
lispro, aspart
Insulin pumps provide these features (2)
steady injection rate, can program for boluses
Hypoglycemia involves what adverse effects?
reduced cognition, impaired sympathetic response, coma, seizure, brain damage, death
This analog is used to increase satiety and reduce post meal glucagon secretion
amylin analog
What vaccine is in trial to prevent type 1 diabetes?
glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 vaccine
Immunomodulation in type 1 diabetes is achieved via this vaccine
BCG
Hallmarks of type 2 diabetics
insulin resistance, gradual loss of islet beta cells
T/F: ketoacidosis is common in type 2 diabetes
false, but can happen in later stages
These drug classes increase insulin secretion
1st and 2nd generations sulfonylurias, meglitinides
What type of pt do you avoid sulfonylurias in?
hepatic and renal failure pt
