Medicine Consult Series: Ep. 2 - Diabetes Management

Welcome to another episode of our medicine-surgery consult series! If your case was just cancelled because you and your patient did not know to hold their new GLP-1 agonist and you’re wondering what to do in the interim, this may be the perfect time to tune into a quick refresher of diabetes quick-hits as it pertains to surgical teams.
