Diabetes mellitus is a condition where the pancreas either does produce insulin (type 1 diabetes mellitus) or the body becomes insulin resistant (type 2 diabetes mellitus). Diabetes pharmacology for type 2 diabetes includes oral antidiabetic agents that help the body to either decrease blood serum sugar levels, or increase insulin sensitivity on the cellular level. In this simple nursing video Mike Linares RN breaks down a complete NCLEX review of the various types of oral agents for diabetics, including mnemonic & memory tricks on how to remember:
Meformin (brand name: Glucophage, Glumetza) Biguanides class
Sulfonylureas (Glipizide, Glyburide)
Thiazolidinediones (Actos, Avandia)
Alpha-glucosidase Inhibitors (Precose, Glycet)
