🗑
Which oral insulin has the greatest risk of causing hypoglycemia?   Prandin (repaGLINIDE) & starlix (NateGLINIDE) because they are rapid acting and have a short duration.  
🗑
An oral hypoglycemic agents include   1st and 2nd sulfonylureas & insulin secretetagous  
🗑

🗑
prandin and starlix (the drugs ending in glinide) are   oral hypoglycemic agents classified as insulin secretagogues  
🗑
Whate are insulin sensitizers   Biguanides and glitazones (thiazolidinediones)  
🗑
Biguanides (insulin sensitizers)   decreases glucose production from liver, improves cell SENSITIVITY to insulin as secondary affect, lowers blood lipids and increases HDL.  
🗑
Nursing considerations of biguanides   Give with meal, causes diarrhea and DC for radiolocial procedures and 48 hours thereafter.  
🗑
Glucaphage (metformin)   biguanide that decreases production from liver, improves cell sensitivty to insulin, reduces bad lipids and increases HDL.  
🗑
Glucaphage (metformin) considerations   Need to give with meal, causes diarrhea and need to dc this for radiological procedures and 48 hours.  
🗑
Glucovance (metformin + glyburide)   Metformin decreases glucose production in liver, and improves cell sensitivity to insulin. while glyburide stimulates pancreas to release insulin and improves tissue response to insulin.  
🗑
Glitazones (thiazolidinedoines)   Insulin sensitizer that increases cell sensitivitiy and response to insulin  
🗑
what causes wt gain and edema   glitazones, which is an insulin sensitizer that increases sensitivity & response to insulin.  
🗑
Actos (pioglitazone) & avandia (rosiglitazone) (-glitazone)   Glitazones drugs that are insulin sensitizers, increases cell sensitivity and response to insulin.  
🗑
Actos and avianda (-glitazone ending drugs)nursing considerations   need to monitor liver function and ldl and TG levels.  
🗑
which insulin sensitizer drugs cause wt gain and edema?   actos and aviandia (generic name ending in -glitazone)  
🗑
Carbohydrate inhibitors do what?   inhibit enzyme activity that breaks down CHO in intestines-slows absorption of cho  
🗑
Precose (acarbose)   is a carb inhibitor that works in the GI tract to block the absorption of CHO  
🗑
what are side effects of precose (acarbose)?   bloating/flatulence and increase risks of hypoglycemia  
🗑
what if you take precose (acarbose) and your BS are severly low and you are conscious?   put carb containing food underneath tongue as it will abosorb into the system without going into the GI tract  
🗑
When glucose is in Blood what happens to K?   it moves out of BV and into the intracellular compartments  
🗑
enzyme inhibitors   Januvia (sitagliptin phosphate) increases incretin hormone levels and prolongs incretin activity, which helps to regulate glucose homeostasis throughout the day.  
🗑
what does encretin do?   it is a hormone that helps regulate glucose homeostasis  
🗑
what is januvia   it inhibits enzymes resulting in an increase of incretin hormones, prolongs their activity, helping to regulate glucose homeostasis all day long  
🗑
what else does januvia do beside increasing incretin levels and prolong incretin activity to maintain glucose homeostasis all day?   It increases and prolongs insulin release in response to a meal and reduces hepatic glucose production  
🗑
there is no associated wt gain with this drug   januvia  
🗑
what other drugs can be used with januvia?   metformin and thiazolidenediones  
🗑
what is onglyza (saxaglipton)?   it is in the same class as januvia (DP4- enzyme inhibitor), except it can be used by remal patients.  
🗑
pramlitinide (symlin)   synthetic amylin  
🗑
what is amylin   a hormone that regulates glucoseafter the first 3 hours of eating.  
🗑
This injectable synthetic amylin drug can be used by Type 1 & type II but   Pramlitinide (symlin) does not stimulate pancrease, it stimulates amylin which regulates glucose  
🗑
This amylin synthetic drug is used as an adjunt, not a replacement for insulin   pramlitinide (symlin)  
🗑
when do you give pralitinide (symlin)?   30 minutes before the meal in either the thigh or ab.  
🗑
Exetantide (byetta) is for type II dm   because you have to have a functioning pancrease before use.  
🗑
what is exetanide (byetta) made from?   saliva from a gila monster (aka lizard spit)  
🗑
How is byetts (exetanide) given?   thigh or ab about hour before breakfast & supper  
🗑
which drug promotes insulin secretion, decreases glucagon secretion and improves CHO metabolism   exenatide (byetta)  
🗑
how does byetta work?   it does 3 things: promotes insulin secretion, decreases glucagon secretion, improves CHO metabolism  
🗑
What are some other pluses if on byetta?   wt loss and decreased appetite  
🗑
Can byetta be used with other drugs or insulins?   can be used with some other oral agents, but not approved for use with insulin, thiazolidinediones, prandin and precose  
🗑
Victoza (liraglutide)   this is a pen (GLP-1) GLP1 is a hormone that is in the small intestine, releases when we eat and signals insulin and slows down food in stomach  
🗑
