        Help!  

Term
Definition
Type I Diabetes   develops during childhood, causes destruction of pancreatic beta cells  
🗑
Type II Diabetes   insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion  
🗑
Diabetic Ketoacidosis   severe insulin deficiency, causes hyperglycemia, ketoacids, acidosis, and coma  
🗑
Bicarbonate   treats acidosis in DK  
🗑
Diagnosis of DM   HgbA1C >6.5%, fasting glucose >= 126, casual glucose >= 200, OGTT 2hr glucose >=200  
🗑
Primary goal of DM tx   prevent long-term complications, control glucose, control BP and lipids levels  
🗑
Step 1 in tx of Type II DM   initiate lifestyle changes with metformin  
🗑
Step 2 in tx of Type II DM   initiate lifestyle changes with metformin and add a 2nd drug  
🗑
Step 3 in tx of Type II DM   3 drug combination  
🗑
Step 4 in tx of Type II DM   more complex insulin regimen  
🗑
Rapid Acting Insulin   short duration: Lispro, Aspart, Glulisine  
🗑
Slower Acting Insulin   short duration: regular  
🗑
Intermediate duration Insulins   NPH, Detemir  
🗑
Long duration Insulins   Glargine  
🗑
Mixing Insulin   Only NPH with short-acting & short-acting should be drawn first  
🗑
Non-DM uses of insulin   hyperkalemia (promote updake of K+) and dx of GH deficiency  
🗑
Complications of Insulin Tx   hypoglycemia, lipohypertrophy, allergic rxn, hypokalemia, drug interactions  
🗑
Drugs that interact with Insulin   sulfonylureas, glinides, ETOH, thiazide diuretics, glucocorticoids, sympathomimetics, and beta blockers  
🗑
Biguanides Prototype   Metformin  
🗑
Metformin   decrease insulin resistance by inhibiting glucose production in the liver, reducing glucose absorption in gut, and increasing glucose uptake  
🗑
Side effects of Metformin   GI disturbances, lactic acidosis, has NO WEIGHT GAIN  
🗑
Drug interactions for Metformin   ETOH-can intensify lactic acidosis  
🗑
1st Generation Sulfonylureas   tolbutamide, Tolazamide, Chlorpropamide  
🗑
2nd Generation Sulfonylureas   glyburide, glipizide, glimepride  
🗑
Sulfonylurea MOA   promote insulin release from pancreas  
🗑
Sulfonylureas Side Effect   hypoglycemia, WEIGHT GAIN, cardiotoxicity....avoid in pregnancy and lactation  
🗑
Drugs that interact with Sulfonylureas   ETOH, beta-blockers, hypoglycemic-inducing drugs  
🗑
Meglitinide Drugs   Repaglinide (Prandin), Nateglinide (Starlix)  
🗑
Meglitinide MOA   stimulate beta cells to release insulin  
🗑
Meglitinide side effects   well tolerated, can cause hypoglycemia  
🗑
Drugs that interact with Meglitinides   Gemfibrozil (Lopid)-inhibits metabolism of repaglinide and cause hypoglycemia  
🗑
Thiazolidinediones Drugs   Rosiglitazone (Avandia), Pioglitazone (Actos)  
🗑
Thiazolidinediones MOA   reduce glucose by decreasing insulin resistance. Increases the number of glucose transporters by stimulating transcription of PPARs.  
🗑
Side Effects of Thiazolidinediones   low risk of hypoglycemia when used alone, WEIGHT GAIN, liver toxicity, heart failure  
🗑
Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors   Acarbose (Precose) and Miglitol (Glyset)  
🗑
MOA of Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors   inhibits alpha-glucosidase, an enzyme that breaks down starch to glucose so it can be absorbed, delays absorption of carbohydrates  
🗑
Side effects of Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitors   flatulence, cramps, abd distention, borborygmus, diarrhea, and liver dysfunction  
🗑
DPP-4 Inhibitors (Gliptin) Drugs   Sitaglipitin, saxagliptin, vildagliptin, linagliptin, alogliptin  
🗑
DPP-4 Inhibitors MOA   promote glycemic control by enhancing the actions of incretin hormones

🗑
SGLT-2 Inhibitor Drugs   Canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin  
🗑
SGLT-2 Inhibitor MOA   block reabsorption of filtered glucose int he kidney, leading to glucosuria  
🗑
SGLT-2 Inhibitor Side effects   genital fungal infections in females, urinary tract infections, increased urination  
🗑
Pramlintide (Symlin)   Amylin mimetic....synthetick analog of amylin, peptide hormone co-released with insulin (NON-INSULIN INJECTABLE)  
🗑
Pramlintide MOA   reduces post-prandial levels of glucose, delays gastric emptying and increases full sensation. Compliments the effects of insulin  
🗑
Pramlintide Side effects   severe hypoglycemia and nausea  
🗑
Incretin Mimetics (GLP-1 receptor agonists)   Exanatide, liraglutide, dulaglutide, albiglutide  
🗑
Incretin Mimetics (GLP-1 receptor agonists) side effects   hypoglycemiia, GI effects, pancreatitis  
🗑
HGB A1C   average of blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months  
🗑
