- 1Bolus Insulinsshort acting and rapid acting. Given to cover carbohydrates or to quickly lower a high BG
- 2Short acting insulins- Clear, form hexamers that need to dissociate into monomers once injected → slow absorption
- Can be used for meals, give 30 to 45 min prior
- Rarely used in children with diabetes
- Agent of choice - IV insulin infusions - 3Rapid Acting Insulins- Clear, do not associate easily
- Ideal for 0-15 min before or right after meals
- Ideal bolus insulins
- Correct a high glucose or cover carbohydrate in a meal/snack - 4Basal Insulins:Background insulin Fasted state
- 5- Intermediate actingo Addition of Protamine makes it longer acting
o Cloudy, combined with protamine → delays its absorption after injected
o Useful as a basal insulin and can cover lunch or rise in glucose occurring overnight
o When given at night, peak can lead to hypoglycemia
o Peak 5-8 hours after they are giving and can last up to 18 hours - 6- Long acting insulinso True basal insulins, lower incidence of nocturnal hypoglycemia compared with N or NPH
- 7Metformin = BiguanideUnless contraindicated is the major 1st line agent in the management of T2DM

NO hypoglycemia
Stop metformin prior to IV contrast (EG. CT scans) or before anesthetic - 8Acarbose (Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitor)Reduces the digestion of complex carbohydrates and reduces their absorption from gut
NO hypoglycemia
- Side effects: flatulence and diarrhea = Lead to high rate of discontinuation - 9Incretin based therapy- DPP-4 Inhibitors
- GLP-1 receptor agonists = big weight loss
- NO hypoglycemia - 10Incretinsbody makes GIP and GLP-1 in the gut after a meal which is broken down by DPP-4. Incretins increase insulin secretion and sensitivity and act on the brain to reduce appetite and improve feeling of fullness, decrease glucose production in liver and increase glucose uptake in the muscle.
- 11SGLT2 Inhibitors- Sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors
- SGLT2 in proximal renal tubules mediate reabsorption of ~ 90% of filtered glucose load

- Symptoms: polyuria, extreme thirst (polydipsia), excessive water intake (up to 20 liters per day), dry skin, and constipation.
- Causes of Central DI – deficiency of ADH. It is made in the hypothalamus not the pituitary, therefore the causes are more general/systemic. - 42Results of water deprivation testo If urine osmolality concentrates to normal, diabetes insipidus is ruled out (likely psychogenic polydipsia)
