Abstract:
Drug-induced diabetes is becoming more prevalent as a result of individuals taking diverse types of medication. A variety of drugs can impair glucose tolerance through several mechanisms, including increased insulin resistance, diminished insulin secretion, or both. Efforts should be made to identify and closely monitor patients receiving drugs that may alter glucose metabolism as diabetes is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. We review the latest data concerning commonly used drugs associated with development of diabetes and present postulated mechanisms by which the drugs might cause diabetes.
