Problem 6 - Entrance Test

Which of the following is a common mechanism of action of sulfonylurea drugs in managing type 2 diabetes?

Correct: A

Sulfonylureas bind to receptors on beta cells, causing ATP-sensitive K+ channels to close, leading to depolarization and insulin release. Other options describe mechanisms of other antidiabetic drugs (e.g., acarbose, SGLT2 inhibitors).
