| Biguanides | Metformin (Glucophase, glucophabe XL, fortamet), Metformin with glyburide (gluconvance) |
| Alpha Glucosidase Inhibitors | acarbose (Precose), Miglitol (Glyset) |
| Non-Sulfonylurea insulin secretagogues | Repaglinide (prandin), neteglide (starlix) |
| thiazolidinediones | Pioglitazone (actos), Rosiglitazone (avandia) |
| second generation sulfonylureas | monitor pt. for hypoglycemia |

| apaha glucosidease inhibitors | must be taken with first bite of food to be effective. |
| oral antidiabetics | effective for type 2, addition to (not as a substitute) |
| what sulfonylureas do | stimulates pancreas to secrete insulin |
| what non sulfonylurea does | lowers the blood glucose by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas |
| what biguanides do | facilitate action of insulin on peripheral receptor sites |
| what alpha-glucosidase inhibitors do | delaying the absorption of glucose in the intestinal system |
| what thiazolidinediones do | first line in treating type 2, and enhance insulin action at the receptor site without increasing insulin secretion from the beta cells of the pancreas. |
