Answer to Question 1

Ans: D, E
Feedback:
The alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, acarbose (Precose) and miglitol (Glyset), produce their glucose-lowering effects by delaying the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the intestine. Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea. Metformin sensitizes the liver to circulating insulin levels and reduces hepatic glucose production. Pioglitazone decreases insulin resistance and increases insulin sensitivity by modifying several processes, resulting in decreased hepatic glucogenesis (formation of glucose from glycogen) and increased insulin-dependent muscle glucose uptake.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, D
Feedback:
Sulfonylureas, like glyburide (DiaBeta) and glipizide (Glucotrol), help lower blood glucose by increasing the production of insulin by beta cells in the pancreas.
