3. What is Random Plasma Glucose for someone with diabetes?: Greater
than or equal to 200 mg/dL
4. What's the issue with taking beta blockers if you have Diabetes?: Beta
Blockers can mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia
5. After taking Metformin for three months the patient A1c is still greater
than
9.5% what additional antidiabetic medication should you start them on?:
Basal Insulin
6. After taking Metformin for three months the patient A1c is still greater
than 7%, what additional antidiabetic medication is okay for someone
with
ASCVD?: GLP-1 Agonist
SGLT2 - inhibitors
,7. After taking Metformin for three months the patient A1c is still greater
than 7%, what additional antidiabetic medication is okay for someone
with
CHF?: SGLT2 - inhibitors
8. What antidiabetic medication should be avoided in patients with CHF?:
Thiazolinediones
9. After taking Metformin for three months the patient A1c is still greater
than 7%, what additional antidiabetic medication is okay for someone
with chronic kidney disease?: GLP-1 Agonist
SGLT2 - inhibitors
10. After taking Metformin for three months the patient A1c is still greater
than 7%, what additional antidiabetic medication is okay for someone
who wants to lose weight?: GLP-1 Agonist
DPP-4
inhibitors
SGLT2
inhibitors
11. Why would patients with DM be weary about taking thiazide diuretics,
corticosteroids, and sympathomimetics?: The medications can increase
blood glucose levels
12. What effects do beta blockers have on insulin?: Beta blockers can mask
the symptoms of hypoglycemia and may inhibit the release of insulin of
the pancreas
13. What are other therapeutic uses of Insulin?: Hyperkalemia
Stress induced hyperglycemia
, 14. What is the BP goal for diabetic patients?: The blood pressure goal for
diabetics is generally less than 140/90 mm Hg
15. What type of medications can be given to decrease risk of diabetic
neuropathy?: ACE inhibitors (Lisinopril)
ARB (Losartan)
Both can reduce the risk of diabetic nephropathy
16. Name (3) short-acting insulin?: Insulin Lispro
Insulin Aspart
Insulin Glulisine
17. What is the name of Intermediate-acting insulin?: NPH Insulin (Humulin
N, Novolin N)
18. Name the 3 long-acting insulins:: glargine, detemir, degludec
19. When are short acting insulins given?: Short acting insulin is to be used
at mealtime to control postprandial blood glucose spikes
20. When are intermediate acting insulin needed?: Between meals and
overnight
21. How long does insulin glargine last?: 24 hours
22. Which long acting insulin can be mixed?: NPH insulin
This insulin can be mixed with short acting insulin
23. Which type of insulin can be inhaled?: Afrezza (Regular Insulin)
24. What is the A1c goal?: Goal is less than 7%
25. What is the MOA of Metformin?: It inhibits glucose production by the
liver and decreases insulin resistance.
AMPK triggered GLUT4 to be put into the lipid membrane of the cell
allowing glucose to enter the cell (reducing blood glucose)
