Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sulfonylureas are most effective in patients with mild to moderate fasting hyperglycemia, as they stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. They are less effective in patients with severe hyperglycemia or high HbgA1C levels. Therefore, option A is the best choice for sulfonylurea therapy. Option B may require additional therapy such as metformin or GLP-1 agonists, while option C may require insulin therapy. Option D is incorrect, as not all newly diagnosed T2DM patients would respond best to sulfonylureas.
