| Abstract: | This DVD program reviews noninsulin medications that may be used to help manage type 2 diabetes. The program focuses on the causes of type 2 diabetes and the role of different oral medications, including combination medications, in keeping blood glucose levels under control. One section describes the use of exenatide (Byetta), an injectable drug used for type 2 diabetes. Safe medication use is emphasized. Viewers are reminded of the importance of a comprehensive self-management plan for keeping diabetes under control. The video depicts a variety of people who share their experiences with diabetes management and oral medications. Simple graphics are used to explain most of the topics covered. Short video segments about the drug classes sulfonylureas, biguanides, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, meglitinides, DPP-IV, and combinations appear at the end of the full presentation. Viewers are referred to the American Association of Diabetes Educators website for more information and to find a local diabetes educator. |
