- 代谢疾病 代谢疾病
- 药理学 药理学是指药理学的学科.
背景情况:
- 传统的基础胰岛素疗法需要根据空腹血糖频繁调整剂量.
- 一定剂量,每周一次的基础胰岛素,如efsitora alfa (efsitora),可能为2型糖尿病管理提供一种替代方案.
- 这项研究评估了2型糖尿病未曾使用胰岛素的成年人中的efsitora.
研究的目的:
- 在2型糖尿病的成年人中,评估每周一次的efsitora与每天一次的胰岛素glargine U100 (glargine) 相比的非劣势.
- 评估血糖控制,低血糖率和胰岛素剂量要求.
主要方法:
- 这是一项为期52周的第3阶段,开放的标签,治疗到目标的试验.
- 795名2型糖尿病未曾服用胰岛素的成年人被随机分配1:1接受每周的efsitora或每天的glargine.
- 主要终点:52周糖化血红蛋白 (HbA1c) 与基线的变化,测试非劣质性.
主要成果:
- 埃夫西托拉在降低HbA1c方面与格拉素无差 (平均变化为-1.19%与-1.16%,差异为-0.03个百分点).

Insulin: Dosing Regimen and Adverse Effects
270
Insulin-replacement therapy usually includes both long-acting insulin (basal) and short-acting insulin (to cater to postprandial needs). In a diverse group of type 1 diabetes patients, the average daily insulin dose is typically 0.5-0.7 units/kg body weight. However, obese patients and pubertal adolescents may need more due to insulin resistance.
The basal dose constitutes about 40%-50% of the total daily dose, with the rest as premeal insulin. The mealtime insulin dose should mirror...

Diabetes: Management and Pharmacotherapy
410
The therapy for diabetes aims to alleviate hyperglycemia-related symptoms, prevent acute metabolic decompensation, and reduce chronic end-organ complications. Glycemic control is evaluated through short-term (self-monitoring, continuous glucose monitoring) and long-term (A1c, fructosamine) metrics, enabling near real-time tracking of blood glucose levels and reflecting glycemic control over specific time frames.

Insulin Formulations: Types and Delivery
277
Insulin preparations are categorized by their duration of action into short-acting and long-acting types. Two strategies are used to modify insulin's absorption and pharmacokinetic profile: slowing the absorption post-subcutaneous injection, or altering human insulin's amino acid sequence or protein structure. These changes retain the insulin's ability to bind to the insulin receptor, but alter its behavior in solution or after injection.

Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: Biguanides and Glitazones
310
Biguanides, particularly metformin (Glucophage), are insulin sensitizers that enhance glucose uptake, thereby reducing insulin resistance. Unlike sulfonylureas, metformin doesn't prompt insulin secretion, which helps to curb hypoglycemia risk. Metformin is beneficial in treating conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome due to its insulin-resistance reduction capability. The drug's primary action involves curtailing hepatic gluconeogenesis, a significant contributor to high blood...

Carbohydrate Metabolism
11.8K
Carbohydrates are polymers composed of molecules containing atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. One gram of carbohydrate can provide four kilo-calories of energy, which makes it the most efficient instant energy source.
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in...

Diabetes Mellitus: Type 2 and Gestational
3.0K
Type 2 diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, arises when the insulin receptors on cells lose responsiveness to insulin, diminishing the cell's capacity to take up glucose, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. To receive a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a series of blood glucose tests are necessary to assess whether the blood glucose falls within normal parameters. If the result is out of the normal range, a patient may be diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic, depending on the...
