There are many non-insulin medications for the treatment of hyperglycemia available to patients with type 2 diabetes. Recent studies suggest the benefit of new agents beyond blood sugar reduction.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
1.   Examine the pathophysiological approach to hyperglycemia treatment.
2.   Discuss Diabetes Audit glycemia and treatment trends.
3.   Select appropriate non-insulin medications for the treatment of hyperglycemia in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
