Question

Which one of the following is sulphonyl urea derivative hypoglycemic drug?

• A. Repaglinide
• B. Nateglinide
• C. Glipizide
• D. Metformin

Hint:

Sulfonylureas like Glipizide lower blood sugar by stimulating insulin release; they are different from meglitinides and biguanides.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Glipizide is a second-generation sulfonylurea used to treat type 2 diabetes. It stimulates insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. The other drugs listed—repaglinide and nateglinide—are meglitinides, and metformin is a biguanide, which works by reducing hepatic glucose production.
