Insulin is a kind of hormone that is produced by human pancreatic beta cell. The primary role of this hormone is to control the glucose level in blood. There are many different types of insulin preparation available in market. Insulin preparation can be classified into 5 major groups namely, rapid acting, short acting , intermediate acting, long acting and pre-mixed insulin preparation as well. They are grouped according to how rapid are these medications work and how long their effect can last for.
The examples of rapid acting insulin preparation include Insulin Aspart, Insulin Lispro as well as Insulin Glulisine. The first rapid acting insulin preparation will be discussed is Insulin Aspart. Novolog is the trade name of insulin Aspart. NovoLog

NPH is crystalline insulin zinc suspensions which combine with protamine at neutral ph. This combination will result in formation of less soluble complex. As a result, absorption of insulin will be delayed. NPH will starts to work within 2 hours after administration and it will reach the peaks intensity in plasma at around 8 to 12 hours after injection. NPH insulin can last for about 12 to 24 hours. Humalin N, Novolin N are the examples of NPH. This type of insulin can be administered only by subcutaneous route. It cannot be given intravenously, due to this reasons, NPH cannot used to treat emergency hyperglycemia which require intravenous administration. Once or twice dose of NPH can be given to patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Before the administration of NPH, it must be roll vigorously so as to mix the insulin together with …show more content…
These types of insulin are combined in order to provide a biphasic effect with speedy onset and extended duration of action. The most typical pre-mixed insulin preparations used are combination of regular insulin with NPH. The proportion in percent of NPH: regular are available as 75:25 (Humalog Mix 75/25) 70:30 (Humulin 70/30, Novolin 70/30) and 50:50 (Humalog 50/50). Pre-mixed insulin should be administered 10 to 30 minutes before meals and two doses per day should be given. Different combinations of pre-mixed insulins have different peak intensity. Most of them can last for at least 10 to 16
Inhibition of DPP-4 prevents breakdown of GLP-1and GIP and allows for an extended stimulation of insulin secretion, along with inhibition of glucagon secretion. This drives overall blood glucose towards a normal value. IUPAC name: (3R)-3-amino-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-6,8-dihydro-5H- [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazin-7-yl]-4-(2,4,5-trifluorophenyl)butan-1-one;phosphoric
Glucose is then permitted entry into the cell by the process of facilitated diffusion, and can be used to produce ATP. Insulin
Question / Problem: What is the evidence to recommend Trulicity (dulaglutide) to a patient who has uncontrolled glucose control, and is on metformin and insulin (levemir) and non- adherence to the insulin. Response: The trulicity is a non-insulin injectable with dosing regimen of once weekly dosing. These agents work by activating GLP-1 receptors in the pancreas, which leads to enhanced insulin release and reduced glucagon release-responses that are both glucose-dependent-with a consequent low risk for hypoglycemia.
The purpose of this experiment was to understand the pharmacokinetics of the drug acetaminophen within the body, specifically focusing on its partition coefficient, drug protein interaction and its bioavailability through various form of administration. The bioavailability of the drug was determined to be 100% for IV because the drug is injected directly into the systemic circulation in its active form and this is also visible on Figure 4, where the initial concentration of drug is much higher than in PO and IP. For PO and IP administration, the bioavailability was determined to be 72.6% and 39.1%, respectively. This makes sense because both of these type of administration involve the first-pass effect where a portion of the drug is metabolized by peripheral organs, especially the liver in this case, and therefore the amount of active drug reaching the circulation is less. PO administration, however has a much higher content reaching the circulation than IP, because the IP route involves passing through the whole gastrointestinal tract before being absorbed in the liver while the IP route injects the drug into the

Diabetes can be divided in two types. Type 1 diabetes is known as insulin-dependent diabetes. It happens when your immune system destroys beta cells which are needed to produce insulin. And type 2 diabetes, similar to type one, except immune system doesn’t destroy the cells that generate insulin. Type 1 diabetes has no cure but it can be regulated with proper
This is Mrs. Houssaini, 60 years old, a Muslim female, who came to the clinic two months ago, complaining of frequency of urination and excessive thirst. After running lab tests and investigations she was diagnosed with diabetes type 2, and the doctor assigned her 2 insulin injections, one in the morning 30 minutes before breakfast, and the other is 30 minutes before lunch. Mrs. Houssaini comes now for regular check up during Ramadan complaining that she cannot take the medications on time because she is fasting. And the following happens:
Seconal Sodium (Secobarbital Sodium) Classification: Barbiturates (Broad) Molecular Weight: 260.27 g/mol pKa: 7.8 Molecular Formula: C12H17N2NaO3 IUPAC Name: 5-pentan-2-yl-5-prop-2-enyl-1, 3-diazinane-2, 4,6-trione Description Secobarbital is a barbiturate, which is a nonselective CNS depressant, they are often used as sedatives. Secobarbital was at one point used for induction of anesthesia before other general anesthetics agents became commonly used. The drug has also been prescribed for short-term treatment of insomnia on rare occasions.

So just a few days. You need to be on these for at least 2 weeks before we can change the dosage or the drug. Two weeks? I just want to be normal again. Dinner will be ready in half an hour.
Did you know that one type of diabetes is much worse than the other? Type 1 diabetes causes your pancreas to stop making insulin, and insulin is needed to survive. Type 2 diabetes causes your body to become resistant to insulin. Diabetes is a serious disease that needs to be addressed by everyone. Making healthy food decisions and exercising can help lower the chance of getting type two diabetes or help people control it.
Type two diabetes can cause many issues and problems for the person involved. For example, one can develop kidney disease due to the fact that high levels of blood sugar make the kidneys filter too much blood. Waste products start to build up in the blood and eventually the kidney starts to fail. Secondly, diabetes can also cause amputations and blindness to occur in severe matters. The cause of nerve damage and poor circulation makes the feet and lower legs at risk of amputation.
These two hormones help regulate plasma glucose, also referred to as blood glucose, levels. Glucagon increases blood glucose and Insulin decreases blood glucose levels. When blood glucose levels are too low, Glucagon sends a message for the glycogen to be broken down into glucose to be released into the blood.
Townsend Harris High School Maryum Begum Band 4: Anatomy & Physiology 12/16/15 Diabetes Type I Type I diabetes is a chronic disease in which the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. This means that an individual who has type I diabetes cannot produce their own insulin. Insulin is essential for the body to break down the sugar, glucose, to convert it to energy. With the lack of insulin, this sugar is not broken down and results in further health problems.
• Carbohydrate metabolism: • Gluconeogenesis: The formation of glucose from certain amino acids, lactate and glycerol. • Glycogenolysis: The formation of glucose from delglucógeno. • Glucogenosíntesis: The synthesis of glycogen from glucose. • Elimination of insulin and other hormones.
