Diabetes: Lifestyle Changes, Treatment, and Management First Line
-
- Medicine
Episode 59. I focus most on diabetes mellitus type 2, speaking about the specific management and monitoring that patients do themselves (like checking fasting and postprandial glucose) and monitoring done by physicians (like monofilament testing). Lifestyle changes are vital to managing diabetes and reducing the impact of other comorbidities such as hypertension, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and renal disease. I cover many of the most common medications used in diabetes, including metformin, GLP-1 agonists, SGLT-2 inhibitors, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinedione, and insulin. I also mention a few misconceptions about diabetes and what aspects of diabetes are stigmatized.
