Summary

This document is a study guide on various glucose-lowering medications for diabetes. It examines different drug classes, mechanisms of action (MOA), adverse effects (AEs), contraindications (CI), and further information such as patient care. The document is helpful for learning about treatment options for type 2 diabetes as well as the different considerations to take when prescribing or monitoring treatment for patients.
