Question: 1 / 1820

Which of the following drugs decrease blood glucose levels?

Beta blockers

Beta blockers are used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and angina. They work by blocking the effects of adrenaline, which decreases the heart rate and reduces the amount of work the heart has to do. This in turn decreases the release of glucose from the liver, which leads to decreased blood glucose levels. The other options listed do not have an effect on blood glucose levels. Corticosteroids are used to decrease inflammation, diuretics are used to increase urination, and statins are used to decrease cholesterol levels. None of these actions have an effect on blood glucose levels. Therefore, the correct answer is A Beta blockers.
