Sulfonylureas for Diabetes: Sulfonylureas are a class of drugs prescribed to help manage blood sugar levels in people with Type 2 Diabetes. The sulfonylureas can cause blood sugar levels to go below normal causing hypoglycemia. Newer drugs in this class include Amaryl, Glucotrol, Glucotrol XL, DiaBeta, Micronase, and Glynase; combination drugs include GlucoVance, Megaglip, Avandamet, and Avandaryl. Even with the use of these medications, diabetics need to make sure their blood sugar levels are kept at an acceptable level by using a blood glucose meter or blood sugar monitor.
