SGLT2 Inhibitors Quiz

Which of the following is the primary mode of action of SGLT2 inhibitors?

• Increase insulin release from the pancreas

• Reduce glucose production by the liver

• Block glucose reabsorption in the kidneys

• Improve insulin sensitivity in muscle cells

• Prolong incretin activity

SGLT2 inhibitors are also known as:

• Gliptins

• Gliflozins

• Thiazolidinediones

• Sulfonylureas

• Biguanides

Which of the following drug classes primarily act by promoting glucose excretion via the urine?

• Biguanides

• DPP4 Inhibitors

• Sulfonylureas

• SGLT2 Inhibitors

• Thiazolidinediones

How do SGLT2 inhibitors help in reducing blood glucose levels?

• By increasing pancreatic insulin secretion

• By inhibiting hepatic glucose production

• By enhancing glucose uptake in muscle

• By reducing renal glucose reabsorption

• By prolonging incretin effect

Which of the following is a mechanism of action shared by SGLT2 inhibitors and none of the other listed drug classes?

• Increased insulin release

• Blocking kidney glucose reabsorption

• Enhancing insulin sensitivity

• Stimulating the pancreas

• Inhibiting hepatic gluconeogenesis

SGLT2 inhibitors differ from sulfonylureas by:

• Stimulating insulin secretion

• Acting on liver glucose production

• Promoting renal glucose excretion

• Improving insulin sensitivity in fat cells

• Increasing incretin hormone levels

Which of the following drugs does NOT belong to the SGLT2 inhibitor class?

• Dapagliflozin

• Empagliflozin

• Canagliflozin

• Ertugliflozin
