What is the usual daily adult dosing of Metronidazole?
The usual dose is 500 mg every 6 to 8 hours.
What is the mechanism of action (MOA) of Biguanides?
Biguanides, like Metformin, decrease hepatic glucose production and improve
insulin sensitivity.
What is the MOA of Sulfonylureas?
Sulfonylureas stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells
.
What is the MOA of Thiazolidinediones?
Thiazolidinediones improve insulin sensitivity by activating PPAR-gamma
receptors, which influence glucose and lipid metabolism.
What are the contraindications of Thiazolidinediones?
Thiazolidinediones are contraindicated in patients with heart failure and active
liver disease.

Sulfonylureas pose the highest risk for hypoglycemia.
At what A1C do we start insulin?
Insulin is typically started when A1C is ≥10% or if blood glucose levels remain
uncontrolled despite oral medications.
When might an increase in insulin dose be needed?
An increase may be needed if blood glucose levels remain high, if A1C is not at
target, or during periods of stress or illness.
When drawing up insulin, which should be drawn up first?
Short-acting insulin (clear) should be drawn up first before long-acting insulin
(cloudy) when mixing insulins.
How do you calculate total daily dose (TDD) of insulin?
TDD is typically calculated as 0.5 to 0.6 units/kg/day, but can vary based on
individual needs.
How frequently should we monitor A1C until stable?
A1C should be monitored every 3 months until stable, then every 6 months.
What COPD severity are combination LAMA/LABA or ICS/LABA used?
