Q

Glicazide

A

Sulfonylureas
Oral medication

Bind to receptors in beta cells causing K channels to close and voltage-dependent Ca channels to open in response – helps increase insulin release

Oral medication

Bind to receptors in beta cells causing K channels to close and voltage-dependent Ca channels to open in response – helps increase insulin release

19
Q

Nateglinide

A

Meglitinide
Oral medication

Bind to the same receptor in beta cells as sulfonylureas, but at a different site, and cause a similar release of insulin

20
Q

Repaglinide

A

Meglitinide
Oral medication

Bind to the same receptor in beta cells as sulfonylureas, but at a different site, and cause a similar release of insulin

21
Q

Pioglitazone

A

Thiazolidinediones (TZDs)
Oral medication

Agonist at peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma and enhances the local effects of insulin/decreases insulin resistance

22
Q

Rosiglitazone

A

Thiazolidinediones (TZDs)
Oral medication

Agonist at peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma and enhances the local effects of insulin/decreases insulin resistance

23
Q

Rosiglitazone

A

Thiazolidinediones (TZDs)
Oral medication

Agonist at peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma and enhances the local effects of insulin/decreases insulin resistance

24
Q

Acarbose

A

Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors
Oral medication

Target alpha-glucosidase enzymes, minimizing upper intestinal digestion/absorption of carbohydrates – helps reduce post-meal glucose absorption

25
Q

Miglitol

A

Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors
Oral medication

Target alpha-glucosidase enzymes, minimizing upper intestinal digestion/absorption of carbohydrates – helps reduce post-meal glucose absorption

26
Q

Alogliptin

A

DPP-4 Inhibitors
Oral medication

Inhibit DPP-4, the enzyme responsible for inactivation of incretin hormones – helps the body continue to make insulin by prolonging GLP-1 activity

27
Q

Linagliptin

A

DPP-4 Inhibitors
Oral medication

Inhibit DPP-4, the enzyme responsible for inactivation of incretin hormones – helps the body continue to make insulin by prolonging GLP-1 activity

28
Q

Saxagliptin

A

DPP-4 Inhibitors
Oral medication

Inhibit DPP-4, the enzyme responsible for inactivation of incretin hormones – helps the body continue to make insulin by prolonging GLP-1 activity

29
Q

Sitagliptin

A

DPP-4 Inhibitors
Oral medication

Inhibit DPP-4, the enzyme responsible for inactivation of incretin hormones – helps the body continue to make insulin by prolonging GLP-1 activity

30
Q

Canagliflozin

A

Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitors
Oral medication

Since sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 reabsorbs filtered glucose in the kidney back into the blood, these drugs inhibit that transporter – results in an increase in urinary glucose excretion

31
Q

Dapagliflozin

A

Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitors
Oral medication

Since sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 reabsorbs filtered glucose in the kidney back into the blood, these drugs inhibit that transporter – results in an increase in urinary glucose excretion

32
Q

Emagliflozin

A

Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitors
Oral medication

Since sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 reabsorbs filtered glucose in the kidney back into the blood, these drugs inhibit that transporter – results in an increase in urinary glucose excretion

33
Q

Ertugliflozin

A

Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitors
Oral medication

Since sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 reabsorbs filtered glucose in the kidney back into the blood, these drugs inhibit that transporter – results in an increase in urinary glucose excretion
