-
how do GLP-1 agonists like Byetta and Victoza work?
incretin mimetics they increase insulin secretion and inhibit glucagon
-
What non-insulin DM drugs are administered SC?
the GLP-1 agonists like exenatide (Byetta) and liragluride (Victoza)

DPP-4 inhibitors, how do they work
inhibit enzyme that metabolizes incretin, so they are called incretin mimetics. Makes incretin available longer. This increases beta cell prod of insulin and decreases glucagon

how do TZDs (-azones) work
increase insulin sensitivity

statins
-
best lipid drugs for increasing HDL
niacin

-
transient hematologic condition in heat stroke
polycythemia d/t vol depletion
-
why should cooling be controlled and gradual in pt with heat stroke
to avoid vasoconstriction that will inhibit cooling
-
What DM meds promote weight loss?
