Question
Answer
What are the causes of Diabetes Mellitus type 1?   Caused by absolute lack of insulin secretion. Due to autoimmune destruction of pancreatic islet cells (islets of Langerhans)  
🗑
What are the causes of Diabetes Mellitus type 2?   Insulin resistance. Target cells become unresponsive to insulin (defective insulin receptor function); blood glucose levels rise  
🗑
What is the treatment for Diabetes Mellitus type 2?   Oral hypoglycemic drugs  
🗑
What are the treatment goals for DM type 2?   Preprandial blood sugar below 110 mg/dL. HbA1C of 6.5% of less  
🗑
insulin aspart (NovoLog) action/onset/peak/duration/administration & timing/compatibility?   Rapid/ 15min/1-3hr/3-5hr/Subcutaneous; 5–10 min before a meal/Can give with NPH; draw aspart up first and give immediately  
🗑
insulin lispro (Humalog)action/onset/peak/duration/administration & timing/compatibility?   Rapid/5–15 min/0.5–1 h/3–4 h/Subcutaneous; 5–10 min before a meal/Can give with NPH; draw lispro up first and give immediately  
🗑
insulin glulisine (Apidra)action/onset/peak/duration/administration & timing/compatibility?   Rapid/15–30 min/1 h/3–4 h/Subcutaneous; 15 min before a meal or within 20 min after starting meal/Can give with NPH; draw glulisine up first and give immediately  
🗑
insulin regular (Humulin R, Novolin R) action/onset/peak/duration/administration & timing/compatibility?   Short/30–60 min/2–4 h/5–7 h/Subcutaneous; 30–60 min before a meal; IV/ Can mix with NPH, sterile water, or normal saline; do not mix with glargine  
🗑
insulin isophane (NPH, Humulin N, Novolin N, ReliOn N)action/onset/peak/duration/administration & timing/compatibility?   Intermediate/1–2 h/ 4–12 h/18–24 h/ Subcutaneous; 30 min before first meal of the day, and 30 min before supper, if necessary/Can mix with aspart, lispro, or regular; do not mix with glargine  
🗑
insulin detemir (Levemir)action/onset/peak/duration/administration & timing/compatibility?   Long/Gradual: over 24 h/ 6–8 h/To 24 h/Subcutaneous; with evening meal or at bedtime/ Do not mix with any other insulin  
🗑
insulin glargine (Lantus)action/onset/peak/duration/administration & timing/compatibility?   Long/Gradual: begins at 1.1 h/No peak/To 24 h/ Subcutaneous; once daily, given at the same time each day/ Do not mix with any other insulin  
🗑
Prototype drug: human regular insulin (Humulin R, Novolin R) mechanism of action:   To promote entry of glucose into cells  
🗑
Adverse effects of Prototype drug: human regular insulin (Humulin R, Novolin R):   hypoglycemia  
🗑
Only regular insulin can be given?   Intravenously  
🗑
Stimulate release of insulin from pancreatic islet cells    
🗑
What drug is in the Biguanides class?   Metformin (Glucophage)  
🗑
Block enzymes in small intestine responsible for breaking down complex carbohydrates into monosaccharides   Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors  
🗑
Reduce blood glucose by decreasing insulin resistance and inhibiting hepatic gluconeogenesis   Thiazolidinediones (Glitazones)  
🗑
Act by stimulating release of insulin from pancreatic islet cells   Meglitinides  
🗑
Mimic effects of incretins—hormones released into blood by intestine in response to food to signal insulin secretion and stop glucagon production   Incretin Enhancers  
🗑
