15 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
sulfonylureas
first generation-1970s
-Diabinese: stim beta cells to prod. insulin

-second generation-1980s
-Diabeta, Micronase, Glucotrol: stim beta cells to sec insulin, incr insulin sensitivity, dec hepatic glucose prod

third generation-1996
-Amaryl
has dec incidence of hypoglyc
may be used when renal disease present

-stimulate pancreas to sec insulin
-doses begun at lowest, single daily amt w/ meals
-used in type 2 who is not overweight/dyslipidemic

S/E: hypoglyc, wt gain due to incr insulin sec, photosensitivity, gi upsets
meglitinides
-Repaglinide (Proandin)
stim. pancreas to sec insulin in response to BS levels

used for type 2 who is not overweight/dyslipidemic

given most ofen with metformin

-take w/ meals only-rapid onset
-take 15 min before meals
-dosages per day based on # meals/day
-not to be used in sev. infections, suregery, trauma

S/E: hypoglyc, upper Resp problems, GI disturbances
Biguanides
metformin (Glucophage)

dec hepatic glucose production, dec cellular insulin resistance

-promotes wt loss, lowers triglycerides, LDL, total chol, incr HDL
(does not stim insulin release, will not cause hypoglyc if given alone)

uses: overweight type 2, dyslipidemia

-not used in renal dysfunction, hepatic dys, hx of alcoholism

**hold for 48H prior after media contrast iodine**

monitor S/E: GI upset, N/V, bloating, dia, cramping, lactic acidosis (renal insuff), metallic taste, sweating, headache

take w/ meals, caution w/ excessive alcohol intake-incr risk for lactic acidosis
alpha-glucosidase inhibitors
Precose & Glyset

major action: delays digestion of complex carbs from the sm intestine (red rate of glucose absorp, lowering level in blood) reduces postprandial blood glucose and insulin levels

used in type 2: overweight, dyslipidemia, has high postprandial BG levels

monitor for hypoglyc

not used in: IBD, bowel obst,
crt clearance >2.0mg/dl,
cirrhosis (precose)

S/E: gi upset, dia, abdom pain, flatulence, elev liver enzymes (precose)

does not cause hypoglyc if given alone
thazolidinediones
pioglitazone (actos) & rosiglitazone (avanda)
"insulin sensitizers)

-dec insulin resistance, improves insulin action at cell sites, incr glucose uptake, dec trigly

-for type 2 who is overweight, insulin resistant, on insulin w/ continued incr blood sugar

not used in: liver diease, alcohol abuse, sev cardiac disorders

generally used w/ sulfonylurea & insulin

S/E: edema, anemia (avandia), incr lipid levels (avandia), dec H&H (actos), resumption of ovulation/risk of pregancy
oral combination drugs
combined sulfonylurea & biguanide
-glucovance (micronase/glucophage),
-metaglip (glucotrol/glucophage)

actions: stimulates pancreas to sec more insulin, dec stored glucose output from liver, dec insulin resistance, initial therapy if meal plan and exercise fail
-lowers A1C
symlin (pramlintide)
synthetic form of the hormone amylin produced w/ insulin by beta cells

-injectable w/ meals
-doesn't cause hypoglycemia
-improves A1C levels, promotes wt loss
Byetta (exenatide)
incretin memetic that lowers BS by incr insulin sec.

-inj w/ meals, mod wt loss, imp glyc control, used after trial of glucophage and sufo has not assisted in acheiving target A1C (6-7)
lantus
insulin glargine is long-acting, man-made version of human insulin

once daily dosing SQ
-duration of action-24 H
-used in type 1 & 2

-can not mix w/ other insulins
-no peak, steady control
januvia
targets 2 key defects
-insulin release
-hepatic glucose reabsorption

-used alone or w/ other agents to improve glycemic control in type 2
Exubera
first non-injectable insulin approved in the U.S. in 2006

-powdered form of insulin absorbed through the lungs through use of an inhaler

rapid-acting, taken before a meal

improves A1C control; used in type 1 or type 2 diabetes
insulins
humalog (lispro)- rapid acting

regular-short acting

NPH/lente/premixed 70/30 -intermediate

ultralente-long-acting
major action of insulin
-moves glucose/ AA into cells
-enhances fat storage
-incr storage of glucose in the liver and muscle
-dec formation of glucose form non-carb source
uses of insulin
used in:
type 1
type 2 not well-controlled w/ oral meds
type 2 and seriously ill
gestational D not controlled by meal plan
DKA
insulin: review of principals
human insulin most widely used
-peaks more precisely
-shorter duration of action
-less antigen resp prod

absorption: fastest in abdom, then arms and legs

normal pattern-basal secretion and incr secretion w/ CHO load
