Question

which of the following is a side effect of incretin therapies?
hyperglycemia
hypoglycemia
rapid heart rate.
slow heart rate

Explanation:

Incretin therapies (like GLP - 1 agonists and DPP - 4 inhibitors) mainly help regulate blood sugar. However, when combined with other hypoglycemic agents or in certain cases, they can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Hyperglycemia is high blood sugar, which these therapies aim to reduce. Rapid or slow heart rate are not typical side effects of incretin therapies; their main focus is on glucose metabolism.

Answer:

B. Hypoglycemia
