Which class of antidiabetic medications inhibits renal SGLT2, blocks reabsorption of glucose in the kidney, and promotes renal excretion of excess glucose in the urine?

Which class of antidiabetic medications stimulates release of insulin and inhibits glucagon release in response to a meal to normalize glucose levels?

True or false: Metformin (Glucophage) is the initial drug of choice for Type 2 Diabetes.

True or false: Metformin (Glucophage) reduces production of glucose by the liver and increases insulin sensitivity.

True or false: SULFONYLUREAS (INSULIN RELEASERS) stimulate the release of the body's own insulin.

True or false: Lipid management drugs, such as Hmg-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), have a hypoglycemic effect.

True or false: Most lipid-lowering drugs are approved for use in children.

True or false: Diabetic pregnant women should be on regular insulin for the management of diabetes.

True or false: Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors should not be used in patients with intestinal disorders such as IBD or Celiac disease.

True or false: Thiazolidinediones decrease insulin resistance by stimulating receptors on muscle, fat, and liver cells.

True or false: Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors block reabsorption of glucose in the kidney and promote renal excretion of excess glucose in the urine.

True or false: Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors do not cause hypoglycemia when used alone.
