Drug Induced Hyper & Hypo glycemia

Drug-induced serum glucose alterations manifested as hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia and ranging from mild to moderate to severe symptoms either appearing acutely or chronically, have perpetual effects on the body, particularly in patients with diabetes. This article and a second one that will appear in the next issue of this journal review drug-induced serum glucose alterations in a two-part series. In this article, we review pertinent clinical information on the incidence of drug-induced hypoglycemia and discuss the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms involved.
