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

_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
