  • My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article youtube.com/post/UgkxVYhghKWmrUgXARZ_ydZTvmmcrw5L0… At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is good stuff.
  • @MultiMusik4
    You guys are helping alot of people and students in the fields of medicine.
  • Extremely clear summary of otherwise fairly complex topic! Thank you for this great video!
  • @jonowillmot9769
    Best summary I've found on these medications! (also appreciate the low-carb acknowledgement!)
  • @Dev_G07
    Stunning lecture and exhaustive delivery of information by covering all aspects of disease. Salute to whole team! !!!
  • @samsonpug
    Great vid. But missing SGLT2 inhibitors. These act in the kidney resulting in excess glucose being urinated out.
  • @rawdonwaller
    As usual, well-explained educational video. (Small diagrammatic error: the 'Alpha cell' should appear labelled as a Beta cell: the narration is correct nonetheless)
  • For patients with Type 2 your HbA1c, fasting blood glucose and peak post-prandial blood glucose after each main meal are pretty good indicator of how well a treatment is working.
  • @mrj8012
    Outstanding most Of doctors dont know this They dont know how identifay patient the sort Of treatment be given.
  • Thank you for the easy to understand concept of basal bolus strategy, my text book didn't really cover this. thank you
  • @ST-ws6jv
    GLP-1 agonists cause insulin release only when glucose levels are elevated (so they actually have a low risk of hypoglycemia for that reason).
  • @shygirlnow2011
    with Metformin and Category 3 of the DM drugs, can a patient use it if they have high liver enzymes from NAFLD?(for those that don't know, its Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease)
  • @khaled1990
    I think u meant to write beta cells instead of alpha cells on the drawing when you were talking about sulfanylureas
  • @iulianarion8694
    I removed from my diet products containing gluten or starch. These are grain products. They block (inhibe) the production of insulin. I do not have diabetes II anymore (any longer). Sorry for my english. Thanks God!
  • Why is it that biguanides and thiazolidinediones don't carry a risk of hypoglycaemia, unlike the others?
  • @dhverma4769
    nice video, but GLP-1 analogue and DPP-4 inhibitors does not cause hypoglycemia. Unlike sulphonylureas, both incretin-based therapies only promote insulin secretion in presence of increase blood glucose level. Thus, when the blood glucose is normal, the insulin secretion is not augmented and so these agents do not cause hypoglycaemia.
