===Sulfonylureas===
{{Main|Sulfonylurea}}
[[Sulfonylurea]]s were the first widely used oral anti-hyperglycemic medications. They are ''insulin secretagogues'', triggering insulin release by inhibiting the [[ATP-sensitive potassium channel|K<sub>ATP</sub>]] channel of the pancreatic [[beta cell]]s. Eight types of these pills have been marketed in North America, but not all remain available. The "second-generation" drugs are now more commonly used. They are more effective than first-generation drugs and have fewer side-effects. All may cause weight gain.
