Answer to Question 1

A
Sulfonylureas and meglitinides decrease blood glucose levels by stimulating insulin secretion. Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors and biguanides slow the rate of absorption of glucose. No oral drugs provide an exogenous source of insulin. Biguanides and thiazolidinediones improve insulin sensitivity.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The amount of fiber needed to alleviate constipation varies among individuals. The AI of fiber needed to protect against coronary artery disease is 25 g/day for women and 38 g/day for men.
