AB Hypoglycemia  is  usually  a  complication  of  treatment  of  diabetics  with  insulin  or  sulfonylureas  (chlorpropamide,  glyburide,  glipizide).  Hypoglycemia  is  an  unusual  reaction  from  treatment  with  the  glitizones  (rosiglitazone,  pioglitazone),  glinides  (repaglinide,  nateglinide),  alpha-glucosidase  inhibitors  (acarbose,  miglitol),  or  the  biguanide  metformin.  Patients  with  diabetes,  alcoholism,  sepsis,  adrenal  insufficiency,  hypothyroidism,  or  malnutrition  are  at  risk  for  severe  hypoglycemia.
