Solution

The incorrect statement is: "b2-adrenoreceptor agonists can cause hypoglycaemia in diabetics".

This is incorrect because b2-adrenoreceptor agonists, which are often used in the treatment of respiratory disorders such as asthma, can actually cause hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels), not hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels). This is particularly important for diabetic patients to be aware of, as it may affect their blood sugar control.
