Question 2

A 56-year-old patient has had late-onset type 2 (NIDDM) diabetes for the past 5 years. He has been taking a variety of oral hypoglycemic agents, but his blood sugar level is getting higher.
 
  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.
  3. switching to another oral hypoglycemic agent because the patient has developed an allergy to the product.
  4. switching to insulin because the oral pills have been ineffective.
