Antidiabetic Pharmacology Part 2 - Injectables
Injectable medications in the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus encompass a broad range of medications with different mechanisms of action, side effects, and contraindications. In addition to a team-based, systematic treatment approach, a basic understanding of the pharmacology of these medications serves as a stepping stone for achieving glycemic control, optimizing patient outcomes, and minimizing harmful side effects. This program provides a basic overview of the glycemic goals, guidelines, and pharmacology of injectable medications for the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus.
