Exam 3: Glucose lowering DM Medication Flashcards
what are glucose lowering mediaction
Class of medications categorized as Not Hypoglycemic (>70) and Potentially Hypoglycemic (<70)
Not Hypoglycemic best for?
T2DM
Not Hypoglycemic T2DM
Metformin/Glucophage
Glitazones
Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitors
SGL2-Inhibitor
Potentially Hypoglycemic for?
T2 OR T1 & insulin
Potentially Hypoglycemic T2 OR T1 & insulin
GLP-1 receptor agonist
Antioxidant
Antioxidant
Metformin = Glucophage
who?
Type 2 DM: does produce insulin, prediabetes, PCOS
Metformin = Glucophage
action
Decrease hepatic glucose production: liver produce glucose when fasting from liver glycogen (gluneogenesis). DM dont need more glucose
Increase /improve insulin sensitivity (decrease insulin resistance by muscle cells
Metformin = Glucophage
concern
Concern: Associated with B12 deficiency
Glitazones types
Actos Avandia
Glitazones action
Increase insulin sensitivity
Promote Weight Gain
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors types
Acarbose & Precose (T2 DM)
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors action
Inhibit the enzyme that digest CHO (slow digestion/absorption of CHO)
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors complication
GI side effects (undigest/unabsorbed thus not raise BG -> fermentation @ colon ~ lactose intolerance)
SGL2-inhibitors type
Jardiance (T2 DM)
SGL2-inhibitors action
Inhibit glucose reabsorption in the kidneys (filter BG thru urine and reabsorb; some reabsorb too much, promote more urine BG excretion)
GLP-1 receptor agonists type
Byetta, Victoza, Trulicity, Wegovy, Ozempic
GLP-1 receptor agonists action
Injectable, Increase insulin, suppress glucagon
Delay gastric emptying & promote satiety
May promote weight loss
Amylin Analogues type
Symlin Pramlintide
Amylin Analogues action
Injected (mult/day) before meals to slow gastric emptying
Suppress Glucagon
Insulin Secretagogues type
Sulfonylureas - Glipizide/Glucotrol, Glyburide
Glinides - Prandin, Starlix
Insulin Secretagogues action
Stimulate insulin secretion (T2 starting to loose Beta cell function)
Hyperglycemia ominuous octet
Decreased Peripheral glucose uptake
Renal glucose excretion
Increased Hepatic glucose output
Glucose influx
Increased Glucagon secretion
Decreased Insulin secretion
CNS Neurotransmitter dysfunction
