Q

medical management for t2d?

A

1st line- metformin
plus sglt2 inhibitors if cardiovascular disease/HF/ Qrisk greater than 10%

2nd line- add sulofnylurea, pioglitazone, DPP4 inhibitor, SGLT2 inhibitor

3rd line- triple therapy- metformin/ 2 secondline
insulin therapy

Q

side effects of metformin?

A

gastrointestinal symptoms, lactic acidosis ( secondary to AKI)

patients with GI side effects can try to modified release instead of standard release

Q

how do SGLT2 inhibitors work?

A

drug works on sodium glucose co-transporter 2 protein in proximal tubules causing more glucose to be excreted. lowers blood glucose, reduced bp, weight loss and improves heart failure. canc ause hypoglycaemia when used with insulin and sulfonylureas.

16
Q

side effects of SGLT2 inhibitors?

A

weight gain, HF, bone fracture riskincreases, bladder cancer risk increases

17
Q

sulfonylureas action?

A

gliclazide, stimulate insulin release from pancreas.

18
Q

side effects of sulfonylureas?

A

weight gain
hypoglycaemia

19
Q

how do incretins work?

A

hormone that reduced glucagon production, increase insulin secretion, slowing absorption by GI tract

20
Q

what is the main incretin?

A

glucagon like peptide 1

21
Q

What are incretins inhibited by?

A

dipeptidyl peptidase 4 DPP4

22
Q

DPP 4 inhibitors side effects?

A

sitagliptin, alogliptin
headache, low risk of acute pancreatitis

23
Q

GLP1 mimetic exenatide/liraglutide side effects?

A

reduced appetite, wight loss and Gi symptoms

24
Q

rapid acting insulins NovoRapid works?

A

after 10 minutes and last 4 hours

25
short acting insulins Actrapid works?
30 minutes and last 8 hours
26
intermediate acting insulins (humulin I) works?
1 hour and lasts 16 hours
27
long acting insulins (levemir/lantus) works?
1 hour and lasts 24 hours or longer
28
combination insulins include?
rapid acting and intermediate acting Humalog 25 (25:75) Humalog 50 (50:50) Novomix 30 (30:70)
29
complications of type 2 diabetes?
infections diabetic retinopathy peipheral neuopathy autonomic neuropathy chronic kidney disease diabetic foot gastroparesis hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic state
30
what to use to manage HTN in TD2?
ACEi and in CKD when albumin:creatnine ratio is above 3mg/mmol
31
when are SLGT2i started in CKD?
when albumin: creatinine ratio is. above 30mg/mmol
32
what to use in erectile dysfunction?

33
what can be used for fgastroparesis?
prokinetic drugs: domperidone/ metoclopramide used in caution due to cardiac side effects
34
options for neuropathic pain?
amitryptyline -tricyclic antidepressant duloxetine-SNRI antidepresant gabapentin pregabalin anticonvulsant
35
Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state?
T2D fatal complication, hyperosmolarity, hyperglycaemia and absence of ketones presents with polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, dehydration tachycardia hypotension and confusion treatment with iv fluids and careful monitoring
36
how to diagnose t2d?
if symptomatic: fasting glucose more than 7 random glucose =>11.1 if not symptomatic then above proven on 2 different occasions
37
other conditions can cause elevated HbA1c?
haemolytic anaemia haemoglobinopathies untreated iron deficiency anaemia suspected gestational diabetes children HIV CKD medication that cause hyperglycaemia corticosteroids
38
what is impaired fasting glucose?
greater than or equal to 6.1mmol/l but less than 7
39
impaired glucose tolerance?
fasting glucose less than 7 then oral glucose tolerance test levels between 7 .8 and 11.1
