Answer to Question 1

B
Oral antidiabetic drugs are not insulin. Most just help the patient use his or her naturally-produced insulin more efficiently, although some drugs also prevent glucose from entering the blood too quickly.

Answer to Question 2

A
Some drugs intensify the effects of insulin and greatly increase the risk for hypoglycemia. In addition, drugs such as beta adrenergic blockers also reduce the patient's perception of hypoglycemia, further increasing hypoglycemic risk. Insulin does not affect the action of warfarin, so it does not increase the risk for bleeding. Although diabetes increases the risk for coronary artery disease, insulin therapy helps reduce that risk. Insulin is not associated with nausea or vomiting as side effects.
