Lecture 2 - DM Flashcards
Ultra Short acting Insulin
Lispro
Aspart
Glulisine
Rapid acting insulin
Standard
Humulin- R
Intermediate acting insulin
Novolin- N
Humulin - N
Long acting insulin
Determir
Glargine
What are the adverse effects of insulin?
hypoglycemia (<70)
hypersensitivity reaction
no risk found in pregnancy
Primary treatment for Type 1 DM
Insulin replacement
Where does normal insulin produced in the pancreas go first after secretion?
The liver
“Dawn effect”
An increase in glucose in the morning in response to cortisol
What is the first line treatment for DM type 2?
Diet restriction and exercise
If that doesnt work move to Metformin
Where is the majority of glucose taken up?
In the muscle
What is the MOA of metformin?
Activates AMPK: In the liver: -decreases gluoconeogensis -decrease lipogenesis -increase fatty acid oxidation
-increase glucose uptake in muscle/fat
What are the contraindications of metformin?
In pts with renal dysfunction or severe liver disease
D/c before radiograph producers with contrast dyes d/t potential renal dysfunction
Insulin secretagogues
Bind to potassium channel - blocking it in Beta cells —-increase insulin release
Repaglinide
Insulin secretagogues - K(ATP) Channel Modulator - Non - Sulfonylureas
TZD
Thiazolidinediones (pioglitazone)
Increase insulin sensitivity in target tissues
NOT hypoglycemic
Works on liver o decrease glucose output
Increases glucose utilization in skeletal muscle and adipose
Decrease FFA in adipose
