  He comes in today with blurred vision, lethargy, polyuria, polyphagia, and polydipsia. The doctor may suggest: 1. switching to another oral hypoglycemic agent because the patient has developed insulin resistance.
  2. switching to another oral hypoglycemic agent because the patient has developed Somogyi effect.
