The Physician Prescribes Glyburide (Micronase, DiaBeta, Glynase) for a Patient

The physician prescribes glyburide (Micronase, DiaBeta, Glynase) for a patient, age 57, when diet and exercise have not been able to control her type 2 diabetes. Which information does the nurse include when teaching her about the glyburide?

A) Glyburide is a substitute for insulin and acts by directly stimulating glucose uptake into the cell.
B) Glyburide, like all oral hypoglycemic agents, does not cause the hypoglycemic reactions that may occur with insulin use.
C) Glyburide and other hypoglycemic agents are thought to stimulate insulin production and increase sensitivity to insulin at receptor sites.
D) Glyburide and other sulfonylureas lower blood sugar by inhibiting glucagon release from the liver, preventing gluconeogenesis.
