What is Humalog and duration of action
Insulin lispro (a short duration: rapid acting)
What is NovoLog and duration of action
Insulin aspart (a short duration: rapid acting)
What is Humulin R and duration of action
Regular insulin (short duration: slower acting)
What is Novolin R and duration of action
Regular insulin (short duration: slower acting)
What is Humulin N and duration
(HUMULIN N IS THE TRADE NAME FOR NPH) so it is a regular insulin that is slow acting
What is Novolin N and duration
(NOVOLIN N IS THE TRADE NAME FOR NPH) so it is a regular insulin that is slow acting
What is Levemir and duration of action
Insulin detemir (prolonged and delayed absorption)
What is Lantus and duration of action
Insulin glargine (very prolonged absorption over 24 hours and keeps concentrations constant)
What is Metformin and duration of action
It is an oral hypoglycemic and it works by increasing sensitivity in vivo (it is available in tablets (q2day), ER tab (q1day), oral solution (for children 2xday)
What is Tolbutamide and how does it work
lowers blood sugar by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas and increasing sensitivity to insulin at receptor sites. ORAL antidiabetic
What is Glipizide and how does it work
Controls blood sugar in Type 2 diabetes when diet therapy fails ; decreases blood sugar by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas and increasing the sensitivity to insulin at receptor sites (normally given once daily and can act for 24 hours)
What is Glyburide and how does it work
it is an oral insulin regulator in TYPE 2 DM that works by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas and increasing the sensitivity to insulin at receptor sites
What is Glimepiride and how does it work
It lowers blood sugar by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas and increasing the sensitivity to insulin at receptor sites. (may be used with metformin) ORAL insulin regulator TYPE 2 DM
What is Pioglitazone and how does it work
ORAL insulin regulator for TYPE 2 DM --> used in combo with metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin: works by improves sensitivity to insulin by acting as an agonist at receptor sites involved in insulin responsiveness and subsequent glucose production and utilization
What is Repaglinide and how does it work
Oral insulin regulator for TYPE 2 DM --> used in combo with metformin, rosiglitazone, or pioglitazone: works by stimulating the release of insulin from pancreatic beta cells by closing potassium channels, which results in the opening of calcium channels in beta cells ... then insulin release is followed.
What is Acarbose and how does it work
Management for Type 2 diabetes with dietary therapy; ORAL might be used with insulin or other hypoglycemic agents. It lowers blood glucose by inhibiting the enzyme alpha-glucosidase in the GI tract
What is Levothyroxine (T4) and how does it work
It is a lifelong replacement therapy of T4 (in hypothyroidism) which is an endogenous thyroid hormone
What is Liothyronine (T3) and how does it work
In hypothyroidism it replaces or supplements T3
What is radioactive iodine and how does it work
Treatment for Graves disease and is successful 75-100% but creates hypothyroidism requiring lifelong treatment (it does this by destroying the Thyroid tissues)
