Q

What is the mechanism of action of sulphonylureas?

A

Bind to sulfonylurea receptors (SUR-1) on functioning pancreatic beta cells
Binding closes the linked ATP- sensitive potassium channel
Decreased potassium influx depolarisation of the beta cell membrane
Voltage- dependent calcium channels open and result in an influx of calcium
Translocation and exocytosis of secretory granule of insulin to the cell surface

Cheap
CV safety established

24
Q

What are the disadvantages of pioglitazone/

A

Increase risk of bladder cancer
fluid retention
Weight gain
Fractures in females

25
Q

Is insulin treatment the last resort?

A

No

26
Q

What does insulin have a low risk of/

A

Hypoglycaemia

27
Q

What is the treatment regimen of insulin in t2dm?

A

Once daily injection
Usually at bedtime

28
Q

What are different types of gliflozins?

A

Canaglifolozin, dapagliflozin and empagliflozin

29
Q

What do gliflozins do?

A

Selectively inhibit SGLT2 in the renal proximal tubule

30
Q

What are the effects of SLGT2 inhibitors?

A

Gets rid of glucose/ more glycosuria
- lowers HbA1c
Gets rid of water/ osmotic diuresis
- hypotension and dehydration
Gets rid of calories/ wastes glucose
- lose weight with same intake
Gets rid of sodium/less reuptake
- lowers systolic bp
Greater risk of urogenital infection
- cystitis and candidiasis

31
Q

What is the primary CV outcome of SGLT2 inhibitors?

A

Composite of CV death, nonfatal MI, or non fatal stroke

32
Q

What is the CV outcome of SGLT2 inhibitors?

A

Composite of primary + hospitalisation of unstable angina

33
Q

What are the renal outcomes of canagliflozin?

A

Composite of end stage kidney disease, doubling of serum creatinine level, death from renal or CV causes

34
Q

What is the dose of canagliflozin?

A
35
Q

What renal impairment does canagliflozin cause?

A
36
Q

What is the dose of empagliflozin?

A
39
Q

What renal impairment does dapagliflozin cause?

A
40
Q

When are SGLT2-I used

A

2nd line therapy in thsoe at high CVrisk

What is the advantage of SGLT2 - I

A

Weight loss
No risk of hypoglycaemia
Good effect on glycaemic control
Beneficial on cv mortality and renal outcomes
2nd or 3rd line agent
Can add to insulin regimes in T2DM

42
Q

What are the disadvantages of SGLT2 inhibitors?

A

Expensive
SE
-UTI, fungal infection, osmotic symptoms
Risk of digital amputation
Risk of DKA
CI in pregnancy and BF
Cannot use in renal impairment

43
Q

How do gliflozins interfere in renal glucose handling?

A

Block the Na glucose transporter 2 in the proximal tubule => increase urinary glucose excretion

44

What type of drugs are GLP1 and DPP IV?

A

Incretin mimetics

45
Q

What are incretins?

A

GLIPTINS
TIDES

46
Q

What are example of DPPIV- inhibitors

A

Saxagliptin, sitagliptin, vildagliptin

47
Q

What do gliptins do?

A

Increase insulin release

48
Q

What do gliptins act on?

A

Pancreas

49
Q

What is the mode of action of DPPIV-I?

A

Increase insulin from beta cells -> insulin increases peripheral glucose uptake -> decrease glucose
Decrease glucagon from alpha cells -> increase insulin and decreased glucagon reduce hepatic glucose output -> decrease glucose

50
Q

What are the advantages of DPPIV-I?

A

Well tolerated
Used 2nd or 3rd line
Can be used in renal impairment
No risk of hypoglycaemia
Weight neutral

51
Q

What are disadvantages of DPPIV- inhibitors?

A

Trial data shows relatively effects of glycaemic control
CI in pregnancy and BF
SE
- nausea

52
Q

What are examples of GLP-1 analogues?

A

Exenatide, liraglutide, lixisenatide

53
Q

What do GLP-I cause/

A

Increase insulin release

54
Q

What is the mode of action of GLP1 analogues?

A

Increase insulin from beta cells -> insulin increases peripheral glucose uptake -> decrease glucose
Decrease glucagon from alpha cells -> increase insulin and decreased glucagon reduce hepatic glucose output -> decrease glucose

55
Q

What are the advantages of GLP-1 analogue?

A

Weight loss
No risk of hypoglycaemia
3rd line agent
Can be used with basal insulin
Some have benefited for CV disease

56
