A 45 year old man with colon cancer now develops increased thirst, increased frequency in urination and weight loss. His fasting blood glucose=9mmol/L. what is the most appropriate management?

The key is A. Oral hypoglycemic. [Increased thirst and increased frequency in urination along with

weight loss is suggestive of DM supported by fasting blood glucose of 9 mmol/L. At the age of 45 most

likely type of diabetes is NIDDM or type 2 DM which is treated by oral hypoglycemic agents].
