The drug of choice for type 2 diabetics is metformin. Metformin:
 
  1. Decreases glycogenolysis by the liver
  2. Increases the release of insulin from beta cells
  3. Increases intestinal uptake of glucose
  4. Prevents weight gain associated with hyperglycemia

Question 2

Adam has type 1 diabetes and plays tennis for his university. He exhibits a knowledge deficit about his insulin and his diagnosis. He should be taught that:
 
  1. He should increase his carbohydrate intake during times of exercise.
  2. Each brand of insulin is equal in bioavailability, so buy the least expensive.
  3. Alcohol produces hypoglycemia and can help control his diabetes when taken in small amounts.
  4. If he does not want to learn to give himself injections, he may substitute an oral hypoglycemic to control his diabetes.
