**helps the body use insulin better
Term
secretagogues: sulfonylureas...
Definition
EX: amaryl and glucotrol (RECHECK)
-primary site of action if the pancreas, which helps stimulates insulin release
-also decreases hepatic glucose production, increases number of insulin receptor sites sensitivity, and may improve insulin receptor defects
-S/E: HYPOGLYCEMIA!
-drugs that decrease action: Ca channel blockers, oral contraceptives, steroids, thiazise diuretics
-drugs the intensify action: NSAIDS, sulfonamide abx, ranitidine, cimetidine, and beta blockers
Term
secretagogues: meglitinides / D-phenylalaines
Definition
EX: prandin and starlix
site of action: pancreas
actions: stimulates panreatic release of insulin, rapidly absorbed from GI tract, metabolized by liver, excreted primarily in feces, may be used in renal insufficiency
S/E: hypoglycemia.
Term
sensitizers: biguanides
Definition
EX: METAFORMIN
sites of action: liver, intestines, adipose tissue, and muscle cells
Primary actions: reduces hepatic glucose production
-decreases intestinal absorption, increases peripheral glucose uptake and utilization, does not stimulate beta cell or insulin production, does not cause hypoglycemia when monotherapy
Benefits: weightloss,increased HDL, improved LDL and triglycerides
S/E: GI upset (gass, cramping diarrhea) , start low go slow
Term
Cautions for metaformin:
Definition
contradictions:

-contradicted in contrast dyes
Term
sensitizers: thiazolidinediones
Definition
EX: Actos and Avandia
Sites of action: muscle, adipose tissue, and liver
main action: improve peripheral insulin resistance in skeletal muscle
-also reduces excessive hepatic glucose production
-does not stimulate insulin secretion
- does not cause hypoglycemia when used alone
S/E: fluid retention = CHF
Contradictions: liver disease, increases ALT, class 3 or 4 heart failllure
Term
alpha-glucosidase inhibitors:
Definition
EX: precose/glyset
Site of action: intestines
-delays indgestion of ingested carbs, results ina smaller rise in post prandioal glucose levels, to be taken with first bite of food at meals!,
DOES NOT CAUSE HYPOGLYCEMIA!
S/E: GI upset,
Contradictions: inflammatory bowel disese, colonic ulceration, Cr >2.0, or cirrhosis
Term
byetta...
Definition
for type 2 DM, used as adjunct therapy with oral agents, lowers postmeal and fasting glucose levels
ACTIONS: stimulates insuline secretion only if BG us elevated and helps restore first phase insulin response
-this is a fixed dose SQ injection
Term
Symlin....new med for DM
Definition
-used in conjuction with insulin in type 1 and 2 DM
-helps lower post meal elevation and reduces weight
-used at mealtime for pats who failed to achieve desiredglucose control despite optimal inculin therapy
Term
S&S of hypoglycemia....like we dont know this already
Definition
cold sweats, hunger, shakiness, weakness, grouchiness, confusion, slurred speech, change in LOC
Term
glucagon pen:
Definition
stimulates hepatic glucose release, injected when patient is nonresponsive, requires a prescription!, esponse in 15 minutes, may cause N/V, give carb once pt has responded

**tell patient to always wear DM emergancy band!
Term
acute complictions of hyperglycemia and the causes...
