| Peak 2 - 5 hours | |
| Novolin 70/30 class | |
| Rosiglitazone and glimepiride combo | |
| | Hint | Answer |
| Duration 3 - 4 hours (4-5 hours) | |
| SE: Hypoglycemia, weight gain, GI effects. | |
| Rosiglitazone and metformin combo | |
| Sitagliptin and metformin combo | |
| Onset 1-4 hours | |
| Duration: 20-24 hours | |
| SE: GI effects, occasional low B12, rare lactic acidosis, ovulation in PCO | |
| Duration 18-24 hours (12-16 hours) | |
| Peak: None | |
| MOA: Bind to SU receptor on surface of beta cells, closing K+ATP channels -> to depolarization of cell membrane, allowing Ca++ to enter cell -> in insulin secretion. | |
| Acarbose class | |
| Onset 30 minutes - 1 hour | |
| Novolog class | |
| MOA: Decreases hepatic glucose production, decreases peripheral insulin resistance, increases glucose uptake, decrease gluconeogenesis, decreases fatty liver, | |
| Peak: 1 hour | |
| Use: DM II. Most effective in lean patients. | |
| Contraindications: Intestinal dz, cirrhosis, renal dz (creatinine > 2) | |
| Humulin L (Lente) (Lilly) class | |
| Humalog 75/25 Mix class | |
| MOA: Binds to PPAR-gamma, a nuclear receptor regulating differentiation of cells (adipocytes, vascular tissue). Decreased plasma fatty acid levels, decreased central adiposity, res | |
| MOA: Lowers postprandial glucose rise by delaying CHO absorption. Decreases glucose absorption secondary to decreased digestion of carbohydrates. | |
| Use: Combines rapid-acting and intermediate-acting insulin. Controls blood sugar at mealtime and all day and night | |
| Duration: 18-20 hours | |
| MOA: Increases hepatic insulin sensitivity. Works through AMP dependent kinase, a mastor allosteric regulator of metabolism, that senses lack of energy substrates in cells. | |
