Sulfonylureas drug:
|
glyburide
|
|
1st and 2nd generation
|
2nd generation lasts longer with less adverse effects
|
|
Sulfonylureas Action:
|
Increase insulin secretion from pancreas
Improves insulin sensititvity @ cells Decreased hepatic glucose production (gluconeogenesis) |
|
Sulfonylureas Adverse Effects:
|
GI: weight Gain, N/V, anorexia
Hypoglycemia 3-4 hours after taking |
|
Sulfonylureas Precautions:
|
Sulfa drugs
Impaired liver or renal function can lead to increased chance of hypoglycemia |
|
Meglitinides Drugs:
|
glinide (don't confuse w/ide)
|
|
Meglitinides Action:
|
Mimics normal insulin release during & just after a meal
Increases insulin secretion from pancreas Only goes to the pancreas !! |
|
Meglitinides Adverse effects:
|
Similar to sulfoynureas: weight gain, nausea, anoresia, hypoglycemia 3-4 hours after taking
|
|
Meglitinides Teaching/Education:
|
Mimics normal post prandial activity
Give STAT before meals because it works this fast Skip meal=skip dose Good for irregular eaters |
|
Biguanides
|
metformin
|
|
Biguanides Action:
|
Decreases glucose absorption in GI tract
Increases insulin sensitivity @ cells Decreases liver glucose production (gluconeogenesis) * has nothing to with Insulin production * decreases triglyceride & LDL *promotes weight loss |
|
Biguanides Adverse Effects:
|
N/V, discomfort, gas, wgt loss, metallic taste
Rare hypoglycemia (alone) Lactic Acidosis |
|
Biguanides Precautions:
|
Alcoholism
Metabolic acidosis renal and liver impairment * will increase risk lactic acidosis Elderly * decreased excretion which could increase risk for lactic acidosis |
|
Biguanides Teaching/edu:
|
Similar to Sulfonyureas
teach to tolerate metallic taste (take w/food) |
|
Thiazolidinediones
|
Glitazone
|
|
Thiazolidinedione Action:
|
Increase sensitivity of insulin @ cells
May take up to 3 mos to reach therapeutic levels |
|
Thiazolidinedione Adverse effects:
|
Headache (severe)
Fluid retention Weight gain |
|
Thiazolidinedione Precautions:
|
heart failure (increased fluids)
Liver imprairment-HEPATIC metabolism which may lead to toxicity Watch for fatigue, dark conc UA, N/V |
|
Thiazolidinedione Teach/edu
|
Signs off liver impairment
Monitor liver function (ALT, AST) |
|
Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitor drugs:
|
Precose
Glyset |
|
Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitor Action
|
Delays disgestion & absorption of CHO in small intestine
works at source of carbs instead of at pancreas, mimics normal glucose, mimics normal body process) |
|
Alpha glucosidase Inhibitor Adverse:
|
cramping, diarrhea, N/V, flatuence
|
|
Alpha glucosidase Inhibitor Precautions:
|
Bowel disease (IBD, Crohns, Ulcerative colitis)
|
|
Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitors Teach/edu
|
Take with FIRST bite of meal
Skip meal = skip dose Hypoglycemic reaction=only glucose tabs work !!!! Sugar/candy doesn't work ..will delay breakdown of table sugras (sucrose) |
|
Noninsulin Polypeptide Analog Drugs:
|
exantide
|
|
Noninsulin Polypeptide Analogues Teaching
|
Not insulin
Take 60 min before 1st and last meal of day prefilled pen Keep in fridge (cooler) |
|
Amalyin Analogue
|
Symlin
|
|
Amylin Analogue Teaching:
|
prefilled pen
not insulin SC right before meals into abd or thigh Never mix w/insulin Skip meal=skip dose |
|
Metal taste
|
Meformin
|
|
Lactic acidosis:
|
Biguanides metformin
|
|
Rare hypoglycemia
|
Biguanides metformin
|
|
IVP dye
|
Biguanides metformin
|
|
Hepatic (liver) metabolism
|
Glitazones
|
|
heart failure precaution
|
Glitazones
|
|
S&S liver impairment
|
dark conc urine, Fatigue, N/V
|
|
Severe headache
|
Glitazones
|
|
Table sugar
|
No help in hypoglycemia with precose/glyset
|
|
Beneficial effect of decrease triglycerides, LDL and weight loss:
|
Biguanides metformin
|
