The presence of two reduced function variants in <i>CYP2C9</i> influences the acute response to glipizide

Abstract

Carriers of two reduced function alleles in CYP2C9 may experience an increased insulin response to glipizide and be predisposed to a higher risk of hypoglycaemia, although no effect of genotype was seen in glucose-based measurements. Further studies are needed to clarify the utility of CYP2C9 genotyping to guide sulfonylurea treatment.
