Drugs for Diabetes Mellitus:
|
Let's first talk about the different types of Diabetes Mellitus
|
|
What are some important facts about Type 1?
|
Type 1 = Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus IDDM
- Destruction of pancreatic beta cells – No insulin produced – Typically begins in childhood – Short-term complications include hypo/hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis (in hyperglycemia) |
|
What are some important facts about Type 2?
|
Type 2 = non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus NIDDM
-Insulin resistance -Impaired insulin secretion -More prevalent; typically involves obesity |
|
Long term complications include what?
|
Long Term complications include: macrovascular disease (hypertension, stroke, heart disease), microvascular disease, nephropathy, neuropathy, amputations, impotence, gastroparesis, retinopathy
|
|
What are goals of therapy for Diabetes?
|
*Maintain glucose levels w/in an acceptable range
Take 1 oral hypoglycemic drug or 2 different oral drugs (Oral+insulin, insulin alone, insulin+ thiazolidindione) -Make changes in one's lifestyle |
|
Types of Insulin:
Short-Duration: _____ Acting LISPRO [Humalog] (AA switch) Often taken with ______acting insulin |
Short-Duration: Rapid Acting
Lispro [Humalog] (AA switch) Insulin aspart [NovoLog] (AA switch) Often taken with longer acting insulin |
|
Short-Duration: Slower Acting
_______ (natural) insulin Only form given __ (SC most common) |
Short-Duration: Slower Acting
REGULAR (natural) insulin Only form given IV (SC most common) |
|
____________ Duration
Lente insulin (____-modified) Neutral _________ Hagedorn (NPH) insulin |
Intermediate Duration
Lente insulin (zinc-modified) Neutral Protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin |
|
Long Duration
Ultralente (zinc-modified) Insulin ________ [Lantus] (AA switch) Less risk of ____glycemia Intermediate and ____ duration insulin have prolonged effects |
Long Duration
Ultralente (zinc-modified) Insulin glargine [Lantus] (AA switch) Less risk of hypoglycemia Intermediate and long duration insulin have prolonged effects |
|
Insulin Administration:
|
Specialized insulin syringes (U100) *Usually has an orange tip*
|
|
Complications of Insulin Therapy
Tell about some Hypoglycemia and DDI issues: |
Hypoglycemia =
Low blood glucose (<50 mg/dl) Insulin levels > Insulin demand Treatment is by increasing blood sugar Glucagon (opposite effects of insulin) |
|
Tell about some DDI issues:
|
Hypoglycemic agents (drugs that lower glucose levels). Include sulfonylureas, meglitinides, beta-blockers, and alcohol
Beta-blockers may conceal hypoglycemia Hyperglycemic agents Include TZDs, GCs, and sympathomimetics |
|
ORAL Hypoglycemics
Often for Type 2 diabetes |
One, Two, Three......
Three Drugs |
|
TOLBUTAMIDE [Orinase]
Class - Sulfonylureas Stimulates release of insulin For lean pts insulin deficient |
Tolbutamide [Orinase]
What is it's Class? This drug is given to lean of obese pts who have diabetes? (HInt: Assume that all tall people are lean people. TOLbutamide. This drug is for "Tall" people) |
|
Metformin [Glucophage]
Class - Biguanides Decreases glucose production SE = lactic acidosis For obese pts insulin resistant Possibly for NIDDM prevention |
Metformin [Glucophage]
What is it's class again? Decreases _______ production For lean of obese pts? (Hint: BIGuanides & METformin. You MET a BIG person for this drug) |
|
ROZIGLITAZONE [Avandia]
Class - Thiazolidinediones (Glitazones) Increase insulin sensitivity |
Rosiglitazone [Avandia]
What is it's class again? This drug ______ insulin sensitivity |
|
Think about what these drugs do, what is a major Side effect for these drugs?
|
hypoglycemia
|
|
Nursing intervention:
How do you treat insulin deficiency? |
TREATMENT:
Insulin replacement Bicarbonate for acidosis Water and sodium replacement Potassium replacement Normalization of glucose levels |
|
In relation to diabetes,
what sort of diabetes can pregnant mothers get? It often appears during pregnancy and then rapidly subdues after birth. |
Gestational diabetes
Does pregnant mothers and diabetes make sense? |
