– faster from arm and abdomen than from
thigh and buttock
Routes of Administration

• Intravenous infusion in acute conditions- diabetes
Ketoacidosis, Perioperative period, Hyperosmolar
Nonketotic state ONLY NEUTRAL/ CLEAR INSULIN
CAN BE USED
• Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion via pump –
neutral
• Intraperitoneal – Peritoneal dialysis patients
• Inhaled insulin- experimental
Side effect of insulin
• Hypoglycaemia
• Weight gain- anabolic hormone
• Lipohypertrophy- injection to same site
• Insulin oedema
• Transient deterioration in retinopathy
• Insulin neuritis – actively regenerating
neurone, uncommon
• Postural hypotension

Oral Medications to Treat Type 2
Diabetes
Major Classes of Medications
sensitize the body
to insulin +/-
control hepatic
glucose production
stimulate the
pancreas to make
more insulin
slow the
absorption of CH
Thiazolidinediones
Biguanides
Sulfonylureas
Meglitinides
Alpha-glucosidase
inhibitors
Sites of action of Antidiabetics
Thiazolidinediones
• ↓ insulin resistance by making muscle and adipose
cells more sensitive to insulin. They also suppress
hepatic glucose production.
• Efficacy
• Enhance glucose and lipid metabolism through
action on Peroxisome Proliferator Activated
Receptor (PPAR–γ)
• by increasing the GLUT 4 glucose transporters
–↓ fasting plasma glucose ~1.9-2.2 mmol/L
–6 weeks for maximum effect
• Other Effects
– Weight gain, oedema
– Hypoglycemia (if taken with insulin or agents that
stimulate insulin release)
– Improves HDL cholesterol and plasma triglycerides ;
usually LDL neutral
• Medications in this Class: pioglitazone (Actos),
rosiglitazone (Avandia), troglitazone (Rezulin) - taken
off market due to liver toxicity]
Biguanides
• Biguanides ↓ hepatic glucose production and increase insulin-
mediated peripheral glucose uptake.
• Efficacy
– Decrease fasting plasma glucose 60-70 mg/dl (3.3-3.9 mmol/L)
• Other Effects
– Diarrhea and abdominal discomfort
– Lactic acidosis if improperly prescribed
– Cause small decrease in LDL cholesterol level and triglycerides
– No specific effect on blood pressure
– No weight gain, with possible modest weight loss
– Contraindicated in patients with impaired renal function
– Medications in this Class: metformin (Glucophage), metformin
hydrochloride extended release (Glucophage XR)
Metformin (Glucophage) :
• It does not cause hypoglycemia.
• It produces a significant ↓ TG and LDL,
and ↑HDL.
• There is a serious concern about lactic
acidosis especially in patients with kidney
disease.
Sulfonylureas
• Sulfonylureas increase endogenous insulin secretion
• Efficacy
– Decrease fasting plasma glucose 3.3-3.9 mmol/L
• Other Effects
– Hypoglycemia
– Weight gain
– No specific effect on plasma lipids or blood pressure
– Generally the least expensive class of medication
• Medications in this Class:
– First generation : chlorpropamide , tolazamide, acetohexamide ,
tolbutamide
– Second generation : glyburide , glipizide
– Third generation : Glimiperide
Sulfonylureas
Sulfonylureas Adverse effects :
• Hypoglycemia
• Cholestatic jaundice
• Weight gain
• Cross placenta – fetal hypoglycemia.
• Chlorpropamide : It can cause water
retention by ↑ release of ADH (SIADH)
• Disulfiram-like reaction with alcohol.
Meglitinides
• stimulate insulin secretion (rapidly and for a short duration) in the
presence of glucose.
• Efficacy
– ↓ peak postprandial glucose
– ↓ plasma glucose 3.3-3.9 mmol/L
• Other Effects
– Hypoglycemia (may be less than with sulfonylureas if patient
has a variable eating schedule)
– Weight gain
– No significant effect on plasma lipid levels
– Safe at higher levels of serum Cr than sulfonylureas
• Medications in this Class: repaglinide , nateglinide
Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitors
• Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors block the enzymes that digest starches
in the small intestine
• It reduces absorption of glucose after meals
• Efficacy
– ↓ peak postprandial glucose 2.2-2.8 mmol/L
– ↓ fasting plasma glucose 1.4-1.7 mmol/L
• Other Effects
– Flatulence or abdominal discomfort
– No specific effect on lipids or blood pressure
– No weight gain
– Contraindicated in patients with inflammatory bowel disease or
cirrhosis
• Medications in this Class: acarbose , miglitol
Efficacy of Monotherapy with Oral
Diabetes Agents
Anti-diabetic drugs
Glucagon like Peptide : GLP-1 analog :
Xenatide : (Byetta) :
• GLP is an incretin released from the small
intestine which increase the glucose
dependent insulin secretion.
• Xenatide suppress glucagon release and
reduce appetite
• It is administered by SC injection.
Anti-diabetic drugs
Glucagon like Peptide : GLP-1 analog : Xenatide : (Byetta) :
Anti-diabetic drugs
Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors: SITAGLIPTIN (januvia)
Xenatide
(Byetta) inj
Sitagliptin
(januvia)
Anti-diabetic drugs
• Sitagliptin (Januvia) is an oral anti-
diabetic drug.
• It inhibit the dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-
4), an enzyme which inactivates the
incretins GLP-1 and GIP, that are released
in response to a meal.
• It potentiates the secretion of insulin and
suppress the release of glucagon by the
pancreas.
Endocrine pancreas
Glucagon :
• It has positive inotropic action and
chronotropic action on the heart.
• It acts by stimulation of glucagon
receptors and not through beta 1
receptors.
• This is the basis for using glucagon in
beta blocker overdose.
