Ultralente
Insulin Glargine/ Lantus
Insulin Detemir/Levemir

Insulin Glargine/Lantus

19
Q

They are oral hypoglycemic agents that promote insulin release from the beta cells of the pancreas by blocking the ATP-sensitive K channels which lead to insulin exocytosis
SE: Hypoglycemia, weight gain

A

Insulin secretagogues
Sulfonylurea and meglitinides

20
Q

An insulin secretagogue that cannot control post-prandial hyperglycemia

2nd gen: Glibenclamide, Glipizide, Gliclazide, Glimepiride

21
Q

A first generation secretagogue that has the longest half life but has the most side effects

A

Chlorpropamide

22
Q

A first generation secretagogue that has the fastest onset but is the most cardiotoxic. It is the safest 1st generation sulfonylurea for the elderly

A

Tolbutamide

23
Q

A first generation secretagogue that is converted to an active metabolite (hydrohexamide)

A

Acetohexamide

24
Q

They are the second generation secretagogues that are more potent than the first generation but have less side effects

A

Glibenclamide, Glipizide, Gliclazide, Glimepiride

25
Q

An insulin secretagogue that acts on the liver to decrease hepatic glucose production and on the muscle and tissue to increase peripheral tissue response to insulin

A

Biguanides
Phenformin, Metformin

26
Q

A biguanide that is the only drug that is indicated for pre-diabetes. It is also the first line for type-2 DM, especially those who are newly diagnosed with it and has no contraindications

One of the drugs in this class has an AE of HF

A

Thiazolidinediones
Pioglitazone, Rosiglitazone

Pioglitazone

Rosiglitazone

29
Q

They are oral hypoglycemic agents that decrease glucagon secretion and increases peripheral tissue response. The analog of the drug is co-secreted with insulin following food intake

One of the drugs has an AE of weight loss and hypoglycemia

A

Amylin analogue

Pramlintide

30
Q

They are oral hypoglycemic agents that stimulate insulin release, reduce food intake by enhancing satiety, decrease glucagon secretion, and promote beta cell proliferation. The hormone named after this drug is the hormone produced after eating

A

Incretin mimetics
Glucagon-like peptide agonist (GLP-1), Dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitor (DPP-4)

31
Q

They are incretin mimetics that exert activity by activating the GLP-1 receptor. It is direct acting and can be given SC

A

GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide) agonist
Exenatide, Liraglutide

32
Q

They are incretin mimetics used to prevent the deactivation of GLP-1 and is taken orally. It is indirect acting

A

DPP-4 (Dipeptidyl peptidase IV) inhibitor

33
Q

They are oral hypoglycemic agents that is responsible for reabsorbing filtered glucose in the kidney, thereby having decreased reabsorption
AE: UTI, frequent urination

A

SGLT2 (Sodium glucose transporter-2 inhibitor)

34
Q

Oral hypoglycemic agents that cause weight loss

A

GLP-1 agonists
