Term
which type of diabetes is ketosis prone

type of diabetes that involves an imbalanced supply and demand
Definition
ype II
-body can't produce enough insulin for the high CHO

subcutaneously

occasionally IM
Term
you should inc/dec your insulin with...
exercise
stress
pregnancy
infection
thyroid hormone
glucocorticoids
OC
thiazides, loop diruetics
Definition
exercise- DECREASE
all others- INCREASE
Term
sulfonylureas
-MOA
Definition
stimulate release of insulin
block K+ channels, so Ca enters
-require functioning beta cells...
Term

2nd generation sulfonureas- prefix
Definition
-amides (acetohex, chlorprop, tolaz, tolbut)

-Gli/Gly/Glip
Term
sulfonylureas should be avoided with which drug...risk of allergenicity

-HA
-nauseau
-vomiting
-flushed look
Term
a non-insulin releasing drug used for diabetes
Definition
metformin
Term
metformin MOA
Definition
decreases gluconeogenesis
sensitizes tissues to insulin
decreases GI absorption of CHO
Term
action of acarabose and miglitol
Definition
block starch, oligo, disach breakdown
-GI related effects
Term
diabetic drug with increased risk of CV, heart attack, stroke
Definition
Avandia (rosiglitazone)
Term
other types of insulin, and differences
Definition
beef- 3 AA difference
pork- 1 AA difference
(can develop neutralizing Ab's though...)
Term
sulfonylureas stimulate insulin release by...
2nd generations also:
Definition
-block K+ channels, Ca enters

-sensitize mm. and fat tissues to insulin
Term
adverse effect of sulfonylureas
Definition
1- hypoglycemia...more so with the 1st gen. drugs
2- disulfuram effect (with alcohol)
3- cross allergenicity with celebrex, thiazides
4- teratogenetic
5- protein albumin bound drugs...
Term
for patients with allergy to sulfonylureas
Definition
repugliuide
Term
a rare but serious side effect of metformin
Definition
lactic acidosis
(unsafe drop in blood pH)
Term
mild forms of diabetes treated with
Definition
alpha-glucoidase inhibitors
-blocks breakdown of starches, oligo, disachs
GI side effects...much like metformin
Term
thyroid hormones T3 + T4 have what affect on autonomic system
Definition
permissive effect
-allow to function well
Term
function of calcitonin
Definition
drive calcium into bone, when calcium levels high
(calcitonin salmon used in osteoporosis)
Term
drugs which inhibit iodine pump (puts I- into thyroid)
used in hyperthyroidism (not much anymore)
Definition
thiocyanate
perchlorate
Term
treatment of cyanide poisoning
Definition
nitrates to produce intentional methemoglobinemia
binds cyanate ion
Term
Lugol's sol'n
Definition
potassium iodide solution
-given prior to thyroidectomy, to tell thyroid to stop making T3, T4 since it can leak out during surgery
Term
symptoms of hypothyroidism
Definition
fluid retention
bradycardia
lower CO
increased weight
feel cold
lose hair

Definition
calcitonin salmon
Term
drug which induces metabolism of thyroid hormone
Definition
phenobarb
-can be used to lower hormone levels
Term
parathyroid hormone action
Definition
stimulated reabsorption of Ca in kidney
=increased Ca blood levels
Term
IV bisphopsphonates
Definition
zolendronic acid
pamidronate
zolendronate
Term
main treatment for IV bisphopsphonates
Definition
bone cancers
-decreases angiogenesis
(Aredia, Zometa)
-every 3 weeks, infusion given
Term
side effect of PO bisphosphs..
Definition
esophogeal erosion, cancer
Term
incidence of ONJ with biphos drugs
Definition
low in PO (1 in 1,000 to 2,000)

high in IV (1 in 10)
Term
increased risks of ONJ
Definition
diabetes
corticosteroids
biphos IV
extractions
Term
sex hormones secreted by ovary
Definition
estrogen (3 types) and progesterone
Term
pituitary release factors
Definition
LH AND FSH
(stimulate ovaries)
Term
basis for OC
Definition
providing excess estrogen
inhibits ovulation- FSH/LH blocked
Term
2 semisynthetic estrogens used in OC
Definition
ethinyl estrogen
mestranol
Term
progestin action
Definition
1- inhibit sperm motility
2- endometrium unsuitable for implantation
