12 Diabetes Treatment

A1C


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:


- 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

.

.

Thiazolidinediones

.


.

- 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-glucosidase hydrolyzes 1-4 bonds
- only monosaccharides can be absorbed in intestines

.

- from glucose excretion, like lactose intolerance

.
Amylin Analogs

- glucagon wrappers, stomach sealed


.


.

- 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

.


.
stimulates insulin release because GLP

DPP-4 Inhibitors

.
- may interfere with immune sys
- Gliptin on nose

.

SGLT2 Inhibitors

.



.


.
- 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
