Preprandial glucose reflects hepatic glucose ___ and hepatic ___ to insulin
1. production
2. sensitivity
Postprandial glucose reflects preprandial glucose, ___ load from meal, insulin __ and ____ in peripheral tissues
1. glucose load from meal
2, 3. Insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity
HbA1C= ___ Hb, b/c the half life of an RBC is about __ days we get a good idea of glycemic control for that period.
Microvascular damage to the eyes, peripheral nerves, and kidneys begins at HbA1C level of __
1. glycosylated Hb
2. 60 days
3. 6.7 but the lower the Hb A1C the better
Glucagon- produced by __ cells of pancreas
Role?
1. alpha
2. glucagon mobilized glucose
Insulin- produced by __ cells of pancreas
Role?
Manner of secretion?
1. beta
2. insulin stores away glucose in liver and peripheral tissues
3. Physiologically will be basally secreted and will secrete boluses in response glucose loads
Amylin- ___ w/ insulin and influences the amt of glucose that appears in the serum by reducing ____ secretion in the postprandial period.
1. cosecreted
2. by reducing xs glucagon secretion in postprandial period
Incretin hormone released in response to food intake. Regulates ___ of glucagon adn insulin secretion
- also encourages proliferation and discourages apoptosis of __.
- GIP and GLP 1 -- secreted jejunum cells in response to ___ and ___ meal. These hormones then in turn stimulate ___ secretion and suppress __ secretion, slow gastric emtpying, and ____ beta cell mass & fx, improves ___ sensitivity, and reduces food intake
1. rate
2. beta cells of pancreas
3,4. fatty and carb-y meal
5. increases insulin
6. suppresses glucagon
7. improves insulin sensitivity
Adipokines-- fat cells (especially visceral fat) which release ___, IL 6, which encourage ___ resistance and endothelial dysfx.
1. angiotensinogen
2. insulin
LIspro, aspart, and gluisine- MOA, PK
MOA: BOLUS insulin, must be adjusted if postprandial glucose is not ideal, small alterations in aa structure counter insulins tendency to aggregate giving very speedy absorption
PK: RAPID acting, 3-4 hrs, convenient before meals
Lispro, aspart, and gluisine- AE
- b/c so RAPID acting, there may some late post prandial hyperglycemia after the effect wears off
Short acting insulin-MOA, Dosing
MOA: used as BOLUS insulin post
prandial
Dosing: 3-6 hr life-- not often used b/c requires inconvienient administration. Hypoglycemia if meal is delayed for 8 h so may also give late postprandial hypoglycemia
NPH- Use, PK, AE
Use:intermed insulin, basal insulin which lasts for 10-16 hrs. can be mixed w/ other formulatoins
AE: do not mimic basal insulin profile b/c more peaks, variable absorption and less than 24 hr duration of action
- unpredictable hyypoglycemia
Glargine- Use, PK, When to adjust?
Use: basal insulin, good b/c fewer nighttime hypoglycemia episodes as compared to NPH
PK: LONG ACTING, >24 hrs -- acidic insulin into basic pH gives gradual release pattern from injection site and a peakless 24 hr profile. Cannot mix w/ other insulin formulations.
Adjust: adjust glargine dose if pts FASTING glucose is not ideal
Determir- Use, PK
Use: basal insulin, good b/c fewer nighttime hypoglycemic episodes as compared to NPH
PK: long acting, 16-24 hrs. Slef association and ALBUMIN binding keeps from crossing semi permeable membranes in capillaries
Sulfonylureas- MOA, Use
Use: use w/ a sensitizer if insulin is very high, must have functioning beta cells, used in DM2
MOA: an insulin secretagogue that stimulates both basal and postprandial insulin secretion
AE: severe hypoglycemia, weight gian, sulfa allergy
Sulfonylureas- Drugs
- GLImeprimride, GLIpizide XL, GLYburide-- causes CV dz, not used
Megltinides- Drugs
Repaglinide, nateglinide
Repaglinide, nateglinide- Class, MOA
Class: Meglitinides
MOA: an insulin secretagogue that stimulates both basal and post prandial insulin secretion
METFORMIN- CLASS, MOA, Use
Class: Biguanides
MOA: decreases hepatic glucose production in response to insulin
Use: all pts w/ mild hyperglycemia, MUST have insulin already around. Will also cause wt loss, decrease CV risk, decreases LDL adn TGs. Take w/ meals.
Metformin- AE, CI
AE: diarrhea, metallic tase, lactic acidosis
CI: renal dysfx (d/c before IV contrast), congestive heart failure, liver dz
Acarbose, migitol- Class, MOA, Use
Class: Alpha glucosidase inhibitors
MOA: blocks proximal carb absorption in the duodenum
Use: pts w/ marked POSTPRANDIAL hyperglycemia, will not work unless pt has this sx
Acarbose, migitol- AE
- flatulence, LFTs,
CI: intestinal or liver dz
Rosiglitazone, pioglitazone- Class, MOA
Class: thiazolidenediones
MOA: bind to nuclea PPAR gamma receptor and enhances the # of GLUT 4 transporters to bring glucose into the cells. THis enhances muscle and adipose tissue response to insulin
Rosiglitazone, pioglitazone-Use
- Must have insulin!! Most effective on the obese with marked insulin resistance.
- Lowers bp, reduces inflammatory cytokines, preserves the β-cells and helps to redistribute fat.
- Pioglitazone does a better job at lowering cholesterol than some other agents in its class.
Rosiglitazone, pioglitazone- AE, CI
- edema, wt gain, anemia, liver failure
CI: heart failure adn liver dysfx
Exenatide- MOA, PK
- : analog of GLP-1 that is resistant to breakdown by DPP-IV
- Is like GLP-1 does: lowers postprandial glucose, reduced fasting glucose, persistently lowers HgBA1C and persistently reduces weight
Pk: sub Q as pt continues oral meds
AE: N/V?D
Sitagliptan- MOA, Use
- MO: reversibly inhibits DDP-IV to enhance the level of incretins (GLP-1 & GIP) for 24hrs
- Does almost all the things GLP-1 does: lowers postprandial glucose, reduced fasting glucose and persistently lowers HgBA1C

Use: best as an add-on to metformin
If target HbA1C <7% not achieved then?
- use intensive insulin
