<h3><strong>Sulfonylureas</strong></h3>
<p>Sulfonylureas are a class of oral medications commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes. They work by stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin and by helping the body's cells become more responsive to insulin. This, in turn, helps lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.</p>
<p>Some examples of sulfonylurea medications include:</p>
<ol>
<li>Glyburide (also known as glibenclamide): This medication helps the pancreas produce more insulin and can be taken once or twice daily before meals.</li>
<li>Glipizide: Similar to glyburide, glipizide stimulates insulin production and is usually taken before meals.</li>
<li>Glimepiride: This sulfonylurea also increases insulin secretion and is typically taken once a day before breakfast or the first meal of the day.</li>
</ol>
<p>Sulfonylureas have been in use for many years and are considered effective in lowering blood sugar levels. However, they are not the first choice for all individuals with type 2 diabetes, and their use is sometimes limited due to <strong>potential side effects</strong> like hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), and weight gain, and have a risk of interactions with other medications.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_empty_space height="10px"][vc_single_image image="2824" img_size="Full"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I am text block.
