Ex3 Diabetes Flashcards
Short duration rapid faster acting prototype:
insulin lispro
When is insulin lispro used
before meals and basal control`
short duration slower acting protoyope:
regular insulin`
when is regular insulin used
before meals and basal control
does regular insulin require a prescription?
no
Intermediate duration slow acting insulin:
NPH
how often is NPH insulin given
twice daily
a cloudy suspension
NPH, intermediate duration insulin
can you mix NPH with short acting insulins
yes
long duration slowest acting insulins
insulin glargine (glantis) , and insulin detemir
glargine and detemir given when
once daily usually HS
ultra long duration insulins
glargine (toujeo), degludec (tresiba)
ultralong duration insulins given when
once daily
ultralong duration insulins mimic what
basal control
common sites for subq injections
- upper arm
- abdomen (fastest)
- thigh (slowest)
why rotate injection sites
to avoid lipohypertrophy
hypoglycemic
<70
s/s(x) of hypoglycemia
rapid fall in blood sugar:
increase HR, sweating, shakiness,
s/s(x) of hypoglycemia
slow fall in blood sugar:
confusion, fatigue, drowsiness
pts at risk for hypoglycemia
- decrease food intake
- vomiting
- increase exercise/activity
- alcohol intake
uncontrolled diabetes
interventions for hypoglycemia conscious:
- glucose tabs, OJ, soda, candy
interventions for hypoglycemia unconsious
- D50 IV orGlucagon SQ/IM
first line therpay for type 2 diabetes
Metformin
(Biguanide) Metformin Pharmacokinetics
inhibits glucose production –> lowers blood glucose without causing hypoglycemia
taken with meals?
Metformin, Sulfonylurea: glipizide, acarbose
Adverse effects of Metformin
GI effects
B12 deficiency
lactic acidosis - don’t take w/alcohol
excreted by kidneys (renal dosing check GFR)
oldest class of anti-hyperglycemics
sulfonylurea: glipizide
Pharmacokinetics sulfonylurea: glipizide
- stimulates insulin secretion (pancreas)
- increase insulin sensitivity
adverse effects of sulfonylurea: glipizide
- hypoglycemia (!!!!!)
- no alcohol
how does TZD: pioglitazone work
increase insulin sensitivity (tissues)
inhibits glucose production (glycogenolysis)
TZD pioglitazone metabolized by CYP enzyme T or F
T
pioglitazone half life?
T1/2 is 16-24 hrs
