Drug-induced glucose and insulin disorders Medications cure the diseases, but sometimes adverse effects occur and these adverse effects cause new diseases. These drug-induced diseases include drug-induced glucose disorders. The clinical significance of druginduced diseases ranges from negligible to potentially life-threatening. The studies show that there are a few agents implicated in drug-induced glucose disorders. Particularly in patients at risk, health care providers avoid or minimize administration of suspect drugs and monitor the patients. Patients receiving medications that are known to cause drug induced diseases, should be educated about sings and symptoms and advised to consult the health care providers if they experience these signs and symptoms .In patients with new-onset glucose dysfunction, the suspected drugs should be discontinued, if feasible. If the drug can not be discontinued or if the condition does not resolve after discontinuation, a new cure strategy may be required. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
