Glipizide is a type of
Sulfonylurea
Repaglinide is a type of
Metiglinide
which drugs increase secretion
sulfonylureas
metiglinides
which drugs decrease hepatic glc production
metformin
which drugs decrease insulin resistance
metformin
tzd's
which drugs prevent CHO absorption from the gut?
alpha glucosidase inhibitors
Most effective drug in reducing HgbA1C
Sulfonylureas and metformin both reduce by 1-2%
TZDs reduce by 1-1.5%
LEast effective drugs in reducing HgbA1C
Metiglinides
Alpha glucosidase inhibitors both reduce by 0.5-1%

hypoglycemia
wt gain
sfx metiglinides
hypoglycemia
sfx metformin
GI sfx
Rare lactic acidosis
sfx tzd
liver dz

flatulence
Which drug is a PPAR - gamma agonist that increases glc uptake and decreases FFA?
TZD
Which drug may cause pt to lose wt?
metformin
which drugs cause hypoglycemia
sulfonylureas
metiglinides
Which drugs are short acting?
Metiglinides (increase insulin secretion)
Short acting insulin
Regular
Novolog
Intermediate insulin
NPH
Lente
Long acting insulin
Ultralente
Glargine
Onset this insulin is in 30 min
regular
Onset of this insulin is in 10 min
Novolog
Onset of this insulin is in 2 hours
NPH
Lente
(intermediate)
Onset of this insulin is in 4 hours
Ultralente
Glargine
(both long acting)
Peak of this insulin is 1-1.5 hours
Novolog
Peak of this insulin is 2-3 hours
Regular
Peak of this insulin is in 4-6 hours
NPH
Lente
Peak of this insulin is in 8-10 hours
Ultralente
This insulin has NO peak
Glargine
The 5 I's of DKA
Insulin deficiency
Infxn
Ischemia
Intra-abdominal process (pancreatitis, cholecystitis)
Iatrogenic (corticosteroids)
What causes the hyperglycemia that leads to DKA?
Low insulin and high glucagon
Pathophysiology of DKA
Low insulin and high glucagon-> low glc uptake and gluconeogenesis-> hyperglycemia -> body cannot use glc -> ketosis due to increased FFA substrate
Clinical signs of DKA
Please give me KANDy:
PMNs
Kussmaul's respirations
AMS
N/V/abdominal pain
Dehydration
What are kussmaul's respirations?
rapid and deep
Diagnostic paramers of DKA
AG metabolic acidosis
Ketosis (urine and serum)
Hyperglycemia
Pseudohyperkalemia
Pseudohyponatremia
High WBC
High Amylase
Why is K "high" in DKA?
Insulin pulls out water, K comes with it
Why is Na "low" in DKA?
Insulin pulls water out of cells -> dilutes serum
Corrected Na formula
(glucose - 100) x .016 + Na
Treatment of DKA
Normal saline at 10 mL/kg/hr
Insulin 10 units, then 0.1 U/kg/hr
-Once glc lowers, add dextrose to IVF
-Once AG normal, give SC insulin
Electrolytes: add 20-40 mEq K to IVF when serum K < 4.5
Extreme hyperglycemia without ketoacidosis
Hyperosmolality
AMS
HONK
Causes of HONK
SImilar to causes of DKA
Plus: dehydration and renal failure
Pathophysiology of HONK
Hyperglycemia -> osmotic diuresis-> dehydration -> prerenal azotemia -> increased glc from the proteins? -> etc
Clinical featurs of HONK
Dehydration
AMS
Very high serum glc
High serum osmolality
No ketoacidosis
Treatment of HONK
Hydration
