Rationale 1: Oral hypoglycemic drugs, such as glipizide, stimulate the pancreas to produce insulin.
Rationale 2: The action of regular insulin is to promote entry of glucose into the cells, thereby lowering glucose.
Rationale 3: Insulin would not promote glucose into the bloodstream.
Rationale 4: Oral hypoglycemic drugs, such as glipizide, stimulate the pancreas to secrete insulin.
Global Rationale: The action of regular insulin is to promote entry of glucose into the cells, thereby lowering glucose. Oral hypoglycemic drugs, such as glipizide, stimulate the pancreas to produce insulin. Insulin would not promote glucose into the bloodstream. Oral hypoglycemic drugs, such as glipizide, stimulate the pancreas to secrete insulin.
