Term
Lispro
Definition
Insulin Monomer with Rapid Onset, Peak and Duration
Term
Aspart
Definition
Insulin Monomer with Rapid Onset, Peak and Duration
Term
Glulisine
Definition
Insulin Monomer with Rapid Onset, Peak and Duration
Term
Regular Insulin
Definition
Hexamer Crystalline Zinc-Insulin Complex. The Dissociation from Hexamer to Monomer is the rate limiting Step. Rapid Acting
Term
Glargine
Definition
Insulin altered to be completely soluble at pH of 4.0. When injected into tissue (pH = 7.4) is precipitates and then slowly dissolves giving Long Action and No Peak.
Term
Detemir
Definition
Insulin with a Fatty Acid addition which promotes protein binding slowing absorption, action, and clearance. Long Acting and No Peak.
Term
Glyburide
Definition
2nd Generation Sulfonylurea
Term
Glipizide
Definition
2nd Generation Sulfonylurea
Term
Glimepiride
Definition
3rd Generation Sulfonylurea
Term
Repaglinide
Definition
Meglitinide with same action as Sulfoylurea
Term
Nateglinide
Definition
Meglitinide with same action as Sulfoylurea
Term
Metformin
Definition
AMP Kinase Activator which increases muscle uptake of glucose and decreases glucose production and synthesis of lipids by the liver. Anti-Hyperglycemic but does not cause Hypoglycemia. Watch Anion Gap (lactic acidosis)
Term
Pioglitazone
Definition
Activates PPAR-Gamma. Promotes fatty acid uptake and storage in adipose tissue rather than Skeletal Muscle or Liver. Causes skeletal muscle and liver to be less fatty and more sensitive to insulin. Requires insulin to act. Can cause plasma volume expansion worsening CHF.
Term
Exenatide
Definition
Incretin Mimetic. GLP-1 agonist from Gila Monster Saliva
Twice Daily Injections
Term
Sitagliptin
Definition
DPP-4 inhibitor: blocks degradation of GLP and GLP1
Oral once daily dose.
Term
Saxagliptin
Definition
DPP-4 inhibitor: blocks degradation of GLP and GLP1
Oral once daily dose.
Term
Pramlintide
Definition
Amylin Analogue: decreases glucagon release and slows Gastric emptying. Useful in both Type 1 and 2 dibetes.
Injection
Term
NPH
Definition
Insulin with Intermediate Action. Comes in a suspension with protamine. Enzymes slowly degrade protamine which liberates the insulin.
