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)
