Nonselective beta blockers and alcohol create serious drug interactions
with insulin because they:
A. Increase blood glucose levels
B. Produce unexplained diaphoresis

D. Mask the signs and symptoms of altered glucose levels
Prior to prescribing metformin, the provider should:

B. Try the patient on insulin
C. Tell the patient to increase iodine intake

A. “Fruity” breath odor and rapid respiration
B. Diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and hypertension
C. Dizziness, confusion, diaphoresis, and tachycardia
D. Easy bruising, palpitations, cardiac dysrhythmias, and coma
The action of “gliptins” is different from other antidiabetic agents because they:
