12 Diabetes Treatment

_..

A1C

_..

_..

  • A1C < 9 or 10

Biguanides

_Aka metformin.,

_Oral therapy..

_

  • decrease liver gluconeogenesis

  • decrease free FA, triglycerides for gluconeogenesis

  • decrease glucose absorption in GI

  • increase insulin sensitivity.,

_

Biguanides (metformin) repress hepatic gluconeogenesis and increase peripheral insulin sensitivity and utilization of glucose. (Although unclear, the proposed mechanism of biguanides (metformin) is that they activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which increase expression of a small heterodimer partner (SHP). SHP inhibits expression of liver phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and glucose-6-phosphatase, thus repressing hepatic gluconeogenesis).

  • Mail box: increased insulin effect. AMPKinase in liver bag..

_Advantages:

.,

  • Other drugs can have weight gain

  • Other drugs that causes more insulin secretion won't work in advanced patients

  • Skinny kid:

_

  • from reduced glucose absorption

.,

  • Green face, milk container, renal insufficiency:

_

  • Lactic acidosis:

  • Not given to patients with renal failure, in hopsital, or using CT contrast..

Sulfonylureas

_..

_

.,

  • 1st gen: mide > maid

  • 2nd gen: ride > riding on back

  • 3rd gen: zide > Z

_SE

.,

  • chlorpropamide 1st generation

  • Disulfiram for alcohol abuse

  • hypoglycemia candy and old fat lady; Do not drink:

Meglitinides

_

.,

_

.,

  • glinides: gliding goose

Thiazolidinediones

_

.,

  • Glitter in the zone

_

.,

  • Binds PPAR-gamma

  • End result is increase Glut-4, adiponectin, decrease TNF-alpha

  • Intracellular PPAR:

_

  • Binding of PPAR-gamma receptor leads to:

  • puts lipid and FA into adipocytes. Adipocyte enlargement

.,

  • Glut 4 mail box and turtle neck

  • Eats more FA

_SE

  • weight gain

  • hepatotoxicity

  • edema.,

  • adipocytes have highest PPAR receptors

  • Big pants edema, heart failure, bone fracture, fat kid

Glucosidase Inhibitors

_

.,

  • A-carb

_..

  • a-glucosidase hydrolyzes 1-4 bonds

  • only monosaccharides can be absorbed in intestines

_

.,

_

  • from glucose excretion, like lactose intolerance

.,

Amylin Analogs

_..

  • glucagon wrappers, stomach sealed

_

.,

[_](Amylin analogs given how, when, and why it's special)

  • injected

  • 1 and 2 fingers

.,

_

  • glucagon and low insulin can cause hypoglycemia

  • falling sugar balls

.,

Incretins

_

Reason why oral glucose metabolized faster than IV glucose.,

_Includes:

.,

  • glucagon on floor. Sealed stomach

GLP-1 Analogs

_

.,

  • Tide and Gulp

_

  • pancreatitis

.,

stimulates insulin release because GLP

DPP-4 Inhibitors

_

.,

  • may interfere with immune sys

  • Gliptin on nose

_

.,

  • Gliptin clips

SGLT2 Inhibitors

_

.,

  • Pro cart track: PCT

_

.,

  • flossing

_

.,

  • new and expensive

  • weight loss from excreting glucose/calories

  • osmotic diuretics: helps with heart failure

  • candidiasis/UTI: glucose in urine = food

  • renal disease: more work on kidney

_..

  • Pts with renal, heart, liver failure are ok with insulin
