post prandial 120-180
before bed 100-140
factors that effect absorption of insulin?
not rolling insulin, exercise, lipohypertrophy
how long is insulin good for?
until exp date if unopened and refrigerated, 28 days once open
if my daily dose of insulin is 46 units how far will that lower my BS?
1700/46 = 36.9 points
oral agents for Type 2 dm?
sulfonylureas, short acting secretegogues, biguaides, alpha glucosidase inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, DPP4 inhibitors, incretin mimetics, amylin mimetic
how do sulfonylureas work?
stimulate pancreas B cells to release insulin
types of sulfonylureas?
1st gen: chlorpropramide, tolazamide (not used clinically)
2nd gen: glimepride (renal/hepatic issue), glipizide, gluburide
how far do sulfonylureas low ha1c?
1.5-2%
Adverse effects of sulfonylureas:
teratogenic, hypoglycemia, weight gain, hyponatremia, skin rash, GI discomfort
Drug interaction of 1st gen?
alcohol = disulfiram rxn
Sulfonylurea drug interactions?
increase hypoglycemic effect: nsaids, sulfonamides, alcohol, ranitidine, cimetidine
decrease hypoglycemic effect: steroids, diuretics, thyroid hormone
types of short acting secretagogues (meglitinides)
prandin, starlix
MOA of meglitinides
stimulate insulin release from pancreas
how far does meglitinides low ha1c?
0.8%
meglitinides are dose dependent on?
glucose
why are they better than sulfonylureas?
the produce more of a physiological insulin effect
how the metabolized?
cyp 450
types of bigaunides?
metformin
MOA of metformin?
decreases hepatic glucose production and increases utilization in the muscle.
how far does it lower ha1c?
1.5-2%
benefits of metformin?
doesn't cause hypoglycemia, no weight gain, lower ldl chol, lower MI risk, improves ovary function in insulin resistant women w/ polycystic
what is metformin usually combined with?
sulfonylurea
adverse effects of metformin?
N/V/diarrhea, decreases absorption of b12 and folic acid
increases the concenration of metformin?
cimetidine, digoxin, quinidine, procainamide
Pt who should not recieve metformin?
renal insufficiency, liver dz, shock, excess alcohol, dehydration, metabolic acidosis
when should you hold metfomin for 48 hrs?
when using contrast dye
what does metformin inhibit?
oxidation of lactic acid. happen in ppl with renal failure and who are hemodynamically compromised (hypoxia, dehydration)
how should you monitor metformin?
