Q

what happens w/ IV contrast dye and metformin? how do we prevent it?

A

stop for 1-2 days before IV contrast test and for 48 hours.
• Can cause Acute Renal Failure—which can lead to lactic acidosis.
*Acute Renal Failure or CKD IV or V patients at risk for this.

Q

how does glipizide (Glucotrol XL) fxn?

A

(Sulfonylureas)

Act by (1) stimulating the release of insulin from islet cells and by (2) increasing the sensitivity of insulin receptors on target cells

25
onset and duration of repaglinide (Prandin)
Onset: rapidly Duration: short
26
side effects of repaglinide (Prandin)
Hypoglycemia, weight gain
27
when to take repaglinide (Prandin) in relation to food?
Take with meal or 30 minutes before
28
prototype for Thiazolidinediones (TZD) or “glitazones”
pioglitazone (Actos)
29
how does pioglitazone (Actos) fxn?
Thiazolidinediones (TZD) or “glitazones” ``` Work by (1) decreasing insulin resistance and (2) suppress glucose production by the liver **same way metformin (biguanide) fxns! ```
30
side effects of pioglitazone (Actos)
Common Side Effects: upper respiratory infection, headache, sinusitis, myalgia Other Side Effects: fluid retention (Caution in HF), weight gain, bladder cancer, fractures *use caution in HF (onset and exacerbation)
31
do not use pioglitazone (Actos) w/ which patient population b/c of side effect of fluid retention?
heart failure
32
prototype for Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitors
acarbose (Precose)
33
how does acarbose (Precose) fxn?
Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitors Slows digestion of starches in the gut by blocking enzyme that breaks down starches • “a” “carb” “ohhhh”
34
side effects of acarbose (Precose)
◦ GI (abdominal cramping, diarrhea, flatulence, borborygmus) ◦ Long term: liver dysfunction i LIVE(r) for Carbs
35
when do we take acarbose (Precose) in relation to food?
Take with first bite of food!
36
Does acarbose (Precose) have risk for hypoglycemia?
monotherapy = no | w/ insulin or sulfonylurea Glipizide = risk of hypogly
37
if you have hypoglycemia with acarbose (Precose) how do you treat it?
oral glucose (sucrose will NOT work)
38
prototype for SGLT-2 Inhibitors
canagliflozin (Invokana) So (much) Glucose Leaving (my) Tubes --> Kidneys
39
how does canagliflozin (Invokana) fxn?
Increases glucose secretion through urine by inhibiting SGLT-2 -work on kidney
40
admin/route for canagliflozin (Invokana)
pill Q daily
41
side effects of canagliflozin (Invokana) (regular and serious)
Side Effects: Genital fungal infections, UTI and increased urination, Weight loss Serious Side Effects: DKA, urosepsis, pyelonephritis, increased risk of amputation ***watch for signs of dehydration
42
what are incretins? what do they do? (6)
hormones secreted by the intestine following a meal when bld glucose is elevated. • signal the pancreas to increase insulin section • signal the liver to stop producing glucagon • Slow gastric emptying • Stimulate insulin release from pancreas • Inhibit postprandial release of glucagon • Suppress appetite
43
prototype for GLP-1 Receptor Agonist/Mimetics
Exanatide (Byetta)
44
how does Exanatide (Byetta) fxn?
synthetic GLP-1 that mimics the action of incretins actions of incretins: • signal the pancreas to increase insulin section • signal the liver to stop producing glucagon • Slow gastric emptying • Stimulate insulin release from pancreas • Inhibit postprandial release of glucagon • Suppress appetite
45
when do we give Exanatide (Byetta) in relation to food? (route?)
SQ BID 30-60 min before meal
46
which incretin DM drug has a 1/week formulation available?
Exanatide (Byetta)
47
onset of Exanatide (Byetta) ?
Onset: 30-60 min
48
regular and rare side effects of Exanatide (Byetta)
Side Effects: significant nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, Rare Side Effects: Risk of pancreatitis, renal failure and hypersensitivity reactions -->Give w/ low fat diet to decrease nausea
49
does have Exanatide (Byetta) have risk of hypoglycemia?
• Hypoglycemia IF combined with sulfonylureas
50
admin consideration for other drugs w/ Exanatide (Byetta)
• Give oral drugs 1 hour before injection b/c slows gastric motility
51
prototype for DPP-4 Inhibitors?
: “gliptins” ----> Sitagliptin (Januvia)
52
how does Sitagliptin (Januvia)fxn?
enhances the action of incretin hormones actions of incretin hormone: • signal the pancreas to increase insulin section • signal the liver to stop producing glucagon • Slow gastric emptying • Stimulate insulin release from pancreas • Inhibit postprandial release of glucagon • Suppress appetite
53
patients do not have to be able to make insulin to use sitagliptin- true or false
FALSE actions of Sitagliptin (incretin hormone enhancer) are dependent on insulin :: patient must be able to make some insulin
54
regular and rare side effects of sitagliptin
DPP-4 Inhibitors Side effects: cold symptoms Rare Side Effects: pancreatitis, hypersensitivity reactions
55
admin for Sitagliptin (Januvia)- food? frequency?
One pill once a day with/without food
56
prototype for Amylin Mimetics
Pramlintide (Symlin)
57
how does Pramlintide (Symlin) fxn?
amylin mimetic co released w/ insulin • Delays gastric emptying • Suppresses glucagon secretion • Decreases postprandial glucose elevation
58
Pramlintide (Symlin) for type 1 or 2 DM?
both! Amylin Mimetic
59
when do we take Pramlintide (Symlin) in relation to food? how do we admin?
Taken at meals SQ, Can’t be mixed in syringe with insulin
60
consideration for other oral meds with Pramlintide (Symlin)
Take any oral drugs 1 hour before injection
61
side effects of Pramlintide (Symlin)
hypoglycemia (only if used w/ insulin!, occurs 3 hours after injection!), Nausea, vomiting, anorexia
62
will Pramlintide (Symlin) cause hypoglycemia?
only if used w/ insulin | occurs within 3 hours of injection !
63
3 DM drugs for preggos?
* NPH/Regular insulin * Glargine (Lantus)/ aspart (Novalog) * Metformin (Glucophage)
64
initially treat hypoglycemia with....
• Food: 15G carbohydrates ◦ Glucose tablets, 120 cc OJ or non diet soda, 3-4 pieces candy, 1 TBSP sugar • Administration of D50 (Dextrose 50%) IV -- irritating to veins
65
patients need to be able to maintain blood glucose after hypoglycemic event so give them....
protein
66
home emergency injection of what for hypoglycemia?
glucagon | --> take 20 min to regain cosciousness
