*4.1.6 Sulphonylureas*

The use of sulphonylureas with regard to COVID-19 infection has not shown any harm or benefit according to some retrospective studies [20]. If there is a risk of hypoglycaemia, they may be stopped. Sulphonylureas are not recommended in the context of dexamethasone induced hyperglycaemia as beta cell function maybe impaired with COVID-19 infection and there is insulin resistance too [7].
