(phosphate buffer)

2. Lente (acetate buffer) –has
been discontinued
Slow Onset
Extended DOA
Ultralente Insulin (Humulin U)-
has been discontinued
Intermediate Onset
Extended DOA
Insulin glargine (Lantus)

Insulin detemir (Levemir)
1st Generation Sulfonylureas
(Drugs)
Tolbutamide (Orinase)

Chlorpropamide (Diabinese)

Tolazamide (Tolinase)

Acetohexamide (Dymelor)
Define 1st Generation Sulfonylureas-mech?
• Potent hypoglycemic agents
• MOA:Close K+ channel (no need for ATP) = depolarization of β-cell = open Ca+ channel = insulin release
• S.E. =hypoglycemia, weight gain, dermatological (sulfa) allergies
2nd Generation Sulfonylureas(Drugs)
Glyburide (Micronase)

Glipizide (Glucotrol)
Glucotrol XL*

Glimepiride (Amaryl)
Define 2nd Generation Sulfonylureas-Mech?
• Longer DOA than 1st generation
• 100x more potent hypoglycemic agents than 1st generation agents (Bad if OD)
• Same side effects as 1st generation agents
Meglinitides-Drugs?
Repaglinide (Prandin)

Nateglinide (Starlix)
Define Meglinitides
• MOA: Close K+ channel (no need for ATP) = depolarization of β-cell = open Ca+ channel = insulin release
Meglinities specific info?
• Hypoglycemic agents
• Use: Reduce post-prandial glucose (take b/f meal)
• Short t1/2’s
• S.E. = Weight gain
• No sulfa allergy
Biguanides )Drug)
Metformin (Glucophage)

• Can be used in combinations with sulfonylureas, glitazones & insulin
Biguanide-specific info?
• NOT hypoglycemic agent
• #1 agent forType-2
• Modest weight loss-
• Increases HDL
• “Anti-hyperglycemic”
• Possible lactic acidosis (don’t use in kidney/liver diseased patients)
• S.E. = GI disturbances (diarrhea) → releases
5-HT in gut
Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitors-Drugs?
Acarbose (Precose)

Miglitol (Glyset)
Define Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitors
• MOA: Compete with enzyme to prevent breakdown of complex carbohydrates (delay digestion of carbs = delay glucose absorption)
• Slow glucose peak in blood
Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitors Specific info
• Taken TID with 1st bite of each meal
• Modest therapeut. action
• Prevent sucrose breakdn
• S.E. = gas
• Poorly tolerated ! (gas)
Thiazolidinediones-TZD (Drugs)
Rosiglitazone (Avandia)

Pioglitazone (Actos
Define TZD
• MOA: Sensitize tissue to insulin = enhance the uptake of fatty acids and glucose from plasma to fat/muscle
• Dependent on presence of insulin
• Activate nuclear receptor PPAR-γ
• Increase expression of LPL, fatty acid transport protein & GLUT-4
TZD-Specific info?
• Similar MAO as fibrates
• Activate PPAR-γ which increases transcription of LPL, GLUT-4, others
• Monitor LFTs every 2 months for 1st year
• Slow onset ~ 2 months
• S.E. = weight gain / fluid retention (Bad if CHF pt)
• ↑MI incidence with rosigl.
Incretin Mimetic Agent (Drug)? Define?
Exenatide (Byetta)

• MOA: Glucagon-like peptide - GLP-1 (7-36 amide) agonist; potentiates glucose-dependent insulin secretion, inhibits glucagon secretion, slows gastric emptying, decreases appetite, may?? increase beta cell proliferation long-term
Incretin Mimetic Agent (Specific info)
• Type-2 Diabetics ONLY
• NOT indicated for use with insulin
• Peptide (inject sc)
• NO weight gain
• Weight loss possible
• Nausea
• Drug interactions because it slows gastric emptying
Amylin agonist (Drug?, Define)
Pramlintide (Symlin)

• MOA: Slows gastric emptying, suppresses post-prandial glucagon, decreases appetite
Amylin agonist-Specific info?
• Type-1/Type-2 Diabetics
who use insulin at mealtime
• Peptide (SC before meals)
• NO weight gain
• Nausea (28-48%) → titrate dose to avoid
• Caution in patients with diabetic gastroparesis
• Drug interactions because it slows gastric emptying → don’t co-administer anti-cholinergics, acarbose or Miglitol
