Insulin: A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).Islets of Langerhans: Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.Insulin-Secreting Cells: A type of pancreatic cell representing about 50-80% of the islet cells. Beta cells secrete INSULIN.Glycemic Index: A numerical system of measuring the rate of BLOOD GLUCOSE generation from a particular food item as compared to a reference item, such as glucose = 100.

- Higher readings generally indicate less-effective glucose control. (medindia.net)
- However, despite their unique mechanism of action and solid clinical track record, even GLP-1RAs are not entirely sufficient for chronic glucose control in patients with T2D, and the weight loss induced by these drugs rarely corrects obesity. (sciencemag.org)
- Surgery and general anesthesia frequently lead to imbalances in glucose control, both intra-operatively and in the peri-operative period. (oncologynurseadvisor.com)
- In the pre-operative clinic the Hospitalist must assess the surgical suitability of patients with disorders of glucose control. (oncologynurseadvisor.com)
- Also in the pre-operative setting, the Hospitalist is expected to formulate a plan for management of glucose control in the days leading up to surgery. (oncologynurseadvisor.com)
- Structure a plan for peri-operative glucose control that is tailored to the individual patient setting with attention to patient, operative, anesthetic and anticipated post-operative factors. (oncologynurseadvisor.com)
- Thus, a major challenge for veterinarians caring for established diabetics in the hospital is to provide needed care while avoiding significant disruption of glucose control. (todaysveterinarypractice.com)
Prandial4
- Independent adjustment of the basal or prandial dose is not possible when using a premixed insulin. (rxlist.com)
- Three patients discontinued prandial insulin due to dissatisfaction with treatment outcome ( n = 1), accidental injury ( n = 1), or personal reasons ( n = 1). (springer.com)
- it uses a long-acting basal insulin to control FBG and a short-acting prandial insulin bolus to control PBG. (springer.com)
- This meal-associated (prandial) insulin production is roughly proportional to the amount of carbohydrate in the meal. (wikipedia.org)
Treatment14
- We expected treatment effect to be smallest in the C-peptide-negative group, and because eligible C-peptide-positive patients are difficult to recruit, we only included C-peptide-negative patients as control subjects. (diabetesjournals.org)
- PF-05231023 treatment led to dose-dependent changes in multiple markers of bone formation and resorption and elevated insulin-like growth factor 1. (mendeley.com)
- The tolerability of BYDUREON also improved over time with long-term treatment," said Christian Weyer, M.D., senior vice president, research and development, Amylin Pharmaceuticals. (drugs.com)
- We show that once-weekly dual-agonist treatment of diabetic mice results in potent weight-reducing effects and enhanced glycemic control that are not observed with either agonist alone. (sciencemag.org)
- The advent of GLP-1RAs has added a notable dimension to T2D management, allowing a greater number of patients to reach their glycemic targets than was previously achieved with conventional medicines ( 7 ), and these agents are now recommended before insulin for treatment of T2D ( 8 ). (sciencemag.org)
- Several treatment options including various insulin preparations are available, but glycemic control remains suboptimal. (naceonline.com)
- Both groups continued treatment with insulin sensitizers. (diabetesincontrol.com)
- All patients should be monitored for symptom worsening or suicidality, especially at treatment initiation or after dose changes. (pdr.net)
- Glycemic control in diabetic dogs and cats may be jeopardized by hospitalization for treatment of diabetic or nondiabetic disorders or routine health care interventions, such as minor surgical procedures or dental prophylaxis. (todaysveterinarypractice.com)
- The combination of insulin degludec and liraglutide in a single pen does not allow the dosage of each substance to be adjusted independently, in particular at the start of treatment or in the case of an adverse effect. (prescrire.org)
- These patients received concomitant treatment with insulin glargine once daily or NPH twice daily as basal insulin. (redorbit.com)
- Doses and timing of concurrent rapid-acting or short-acting insulins or other concomitant antidiabetic treatment may need to be adjusted. (rxlist.com)
- Initially, high doses of glucose infusions are required to establish euglucaemia, traditionally followed by a treatment with either diazoxide or long acting somatostatin (octreotide), sometimes combined with dietary measures (high in starch, glucose or protein) (5). (bestbets.org)
- Participants were allocated a place on established group training courses that taught flexible intensive insulin treatment ("dose adjustment for normal eating," DAFNE). (bmj.com)
Analogues5
- Dose reductions may require two to three days for modern basal insulin analogues in order to achieve an adapted steady state, hereby increasing the risk of inadequate insulin-following exercise. (clinicaltrials.gov)
- As a consequence for patients treated with modern basal insulin analogues, it seems more adequate not to modify insulin doses but to apply alternative strategies for recreational exercise. (clinicaltrials.gov)
- The presence of two distinct insulin analogues as a soluble co-formulation of a basal component with an ultra-long duration of action makes IDegAsp an advance over earlier premix insulins. (springer.com)
- Our results clearly show that over the course of a year-long study the advantage of these analogues is equaled or improved upon by the use of Oral-lyn. (medindia.net)
- When Oral-lyn is absorbed through the buccal mucosa its rapid entry into the blood stream mimics and improves upon the rapid acting analogues. (medindia.net)
Clinical2
- Although premixed insulin is one option to avoid some of these barriers, in clinical practice not all patients using premixed insulin can achieve adequate control of blood glucose due to limited doses and the fixed insulin component. (springer.com)
- This report describes novel clinical data assessing pharmacodynamics of insulin glargine/lixisenatide (iGlarLixi) compared with placebo and insulin glargine alone, to determine pharmacokinetics of lix. (bioportfolio.com)
