6. Scarlet N. Gray is a 55 year-old female living withType 2 Diabetes. The following conversation takes place during arecent visit with Scarlet:
You: How did your recent doctor visitgo?
Scarlet: Bleh. They changed my therapy toinsulin and some oral anti-diabetic drug. I just dread thoseinsulin injections. I don’t understand why I can’t just swallow aninsulin pill, similar to how I swallow my other medication.
You: Hmm...uh, Scarlet, are you okay? Youdon’t look very good...
Scarlet: I don’t feel very good. I’msweating, shaking, and I feel like I could faint.
You: I think we need to get you help,fast!
After securing Scarlet help, you reflect on the mechanismunderlining Scarlet’s symptoms. You believe her symptoms resultedfrom the combination of adverse effects from her new therapy(insulin plus an oral anti-diabetic drug). You’ve narrowed the listof possible oral anti-diabetic drugs to metformin, a meglitinide,or an α-glucosidase Inhibitor. Which oral anti-diabetic drug isScarlet likely taking? Explain you know.
