-increased weight; use alcohol with caution

-replaces enogenous insulin

-take with first bite of meal; limit alcohol

-delays intestinal absorption of glucose

-caution with alcohol

-delays gastric emptying, decreases postprandial glucagon release, suppresses appetite

-decreases folate and viamin b-12 absorption; aviod alcohol; take with meals to decrease GI distress

-decreases hepatic glucose production, increases insulin uptake in muscles

-caustion with alcohol; may cause GI disturbances

-mimics glucose dependent insulin secretion, suppresses elevated glucagon secretion, delays gastic emptying

-limit alcohol

-stimulates insulin secretion in presences of glucose

sulfonylurea agents

1st generation/2nd generation

-avoid alcohol

-stimulates insulin secretion

-none

-decreases insulin resistance
