    Study Notes

    • Antidiabetic medications are used to control blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes.
    • These medications can be derived from animals (extracted from beef and pork) or synthetically produced.
    • Synthetic insulins include humulin and semi-synthetic insulins like Novolin.
    • Insulins come in different strengths and forms, including syringes, prefilled pens, and various types of pumps for subcutaneous (SQ), intravenous (IV), and inhalation administration.
    • Rapid-acting, short-acting, intermediate-acting, and long-acting insulins are classified based on their onset, peak, and duration.
    • Insulin doses are determined by healthcare professionals and based on blood sugar and urine glucose levels.
    • Insulin coverage is recommended for before and after meals, with different doses suggested based on blood sugar levels.
    • Causes for too much insulin or wrong type, delay or omission of food, too much exercise, illness, diarrhea, and vomiting, or excessive alcohol consumption can lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
    • Symptoms of hypoglycemia include nausea, diarrhea, hunger, inability to concentrate, confusion, nervousness, anxiety, tremors, tachycardia, pale, cold, and clammy skin, tiredness, drowsiness, lethargy, and coma.
    • Symptoms of hyperglycemia include nausea, abdominal pain, distension, anorexia, dry mouth, irritability, hot, flushed skin, fruity odor to breath, Kussmaul's respiration, and urinary output.
    • Treatment for hypoglycemia involves consuming 10-15 grams of simple carbohydrates, followed by complex carbohydrates within an hour. In severe cases, glucagon may be administered.
    • Treatment for hyperglycemia involves regular insulin and correcting fluid and electrolyte imbalances.
    • Insulin therapy requires careful coordination of blood sugar testing, drug administration, diet, and exercise, as well as regular monitoring and adjustments.
    • Common side effects of insulin therapy include allergic reactions, lipodystrophy, insulin resistance, and hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia caused by incorrect dosing, insulin types, or external factors.
    • Other antidiabetic medications include sulfonylureas, meglitinides, biquinides, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, incretin mimetics, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, and amylin analogues/amylinomimetics.
    • These medications have various actions and indications, including stimulating insulin release, reducing hepatic glucose production, increasing insulin sensitivity, and slowing carbohydrate digestion.
    • Side effects and cautions include hypoglycemia, hepatotoxicity, photosensitivity, fetal abnormalities, and interactions with other medications.
    • These medications should be monitored closely for effectiveness and potential side effects, with regular blood sugar testing and healthcare professional consultations.
