Question

drag each drug classification to the description of how it works. description drug class stimulates beta cells in the pancreas to secrete insulin alpha - glucosidase inhibitors decreases insulin resistance and increases insulin sensitivity in muscle, liver and adipose tissue meglitinides decreases hepatic glucose output and increases insulin sensitivity in muscles biguanides mimics action of gip and glp - 1 hormones by suppressing the release of glucagon and stimulating insulin secretion second - generation sulfonylureas delays digestion of complex carbohydrates and glucose absorption, reducing blood glucose spikes after meals thiazolidinediones increases insulin production and improves insulin activity incretin therapies

Explanation:

1. Stimulating beta - cells in the pancreas to secrete insulin is the action of Meglitinides and Second - Generation Sulfonylureas.
2. Decreasing insulin resistance and increasing insulin sensitivity in muscle, liver and adipose tissue is a characteristic of Thiazolidinediones.
3. Decreasing hepatic glucose output and increasing insulin sensitivity in muscles is the function of Biguanides.
4. Mimicking the action of GIP and GLP - 1 hormones by suppressing glucagon release and stimulating insulin secretion is Incretin Therapies.
5. Delaying digestion of complex carbohydrates and glucose absorption to reduce post - meal blood glucose spikes is the role of Alpha - Glucosidase Inhibitors.
6. Increasing insulin production and improving insulin activity can be associated with Meglitinides and Second - Generation Sulfonylureas.

Answer:

1. Stimulates beta cells in the pancreas to secrete insulin: Meglitinides, Second - Generation Sulfonylureas
2. Decreases insulin resistance and increases insulin sensitivity in muscle, liver and adipose tissue: Thiazolidinediones
3. Decreases hepatic glucose output and increases insulin sensitivity in muscles: Biguanides
4. Mimics action of GIP and GLP - 1 hormones by suppressing the release of glucagon and stimulating insulin secretion: Incretin Therapies
5. Delays digestion of complex carbohydrates and glucose absorption, reducing blood glucose spikes after meals: Alpha - Glucosidase Inhibitors
6. Increases insulin production and improves insulin activity: Meglitinides, Second - Generation Sulfonylureas
