Types of Diabetes The millions of cells in your body require energy in a very basic form called glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar that is formed by breaking.
DIABINESE (chlorpropamide) appears to lower the blood glucose acutely by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas, an effect dependent upon functioning beta cells in the pancreatic islets. The mechanism by which DIABINESE (chlorpropamide) lowers blood glucose during long-term administration has not been clearly established.
