Diabetes Drugs (Oral Antihyperglycemics & Insulins)

My goal is to reduce educational disparities by making education FREE.
These videos help you score extra points on medical school exams (USMLE, COMLEX, etc.)
For educational purposes only; NOT medical or other advice.
Some videos contain mild profanity and hyperbole solely used to assist with memorization. Viewer discretion advised.

Hey Dirty! I just wanna say thank you SO much for everything you do. I just found out that I passed STEP and I'm pretty sure I owe most of my success to your channel. You explain things so beautifully and I love how simple you make everything. May you live forever and continue to put out this amazing content for future medical students.

I understand the mechanisms but I always had a hard time getting the names right. The mnemonics are so out-of-the-box it's now easier to remember. Thank you 💙

Where was this video all my life?.... Love the mnemonic formulation

This is one of the best pharma video, not only for USMLE but also for med school

I am a PM&R physician in South Korea. I really appreciate you with this thorough review. It really helped preparing USMLE in my mid-40s.

this is fantastic! I sure wish I'd (IDE, haha) had a resource like this when I was in medical school 30 years ago - but the internet was barely coming into existence then!😆 thank you for your clear, clever, concise contribution to medical learning (there's some alliteration for you!) ❤

[ademolaadekiya]

Your videos always turn hours of work into something anyone can learn within minutes thank you so much for all your contributions. I can recall so much thanks to your videos. I hope I as well can contribute to you too(financially).

Hey Mate! I just want to say thank you for this beautiful explanation on the medicines training. I am very excited to follow your explanation of the medicines and their adverse reactions.

I hope your teaching will help me and other students to complete studies with high marks. You are highly good lecturer that explain medications’ actions in an excellent technique, and I am very grateful to get this good lecturer with simple explanation.

Your teaching is very brilliant, I am also pretty sure that I owed you for today lectures because I have understood somethings that I did not know. The only thing that I will reward you with, is God blessings. Therefore, God will give you longevity to continuing teaching medical students with this simple explanation.

For Sulfonylureas, you can memorize it has “G (Gee), IDE take your sulfonylurea.
The G is because all sulfonylureas start with G.
This helps to separate the sulfonylureas from the meglitinides since they also end with IDE

Taking step 3 soon and still watching your videos. You’re amazing, thank you🙏

[Lyca_a]

love your chill and laid back teaching style, thank you

Remebering Insulins by time of action is quite easy. But confusion can arise between Glulisine and Glargine. This confusion is cleared by:
gluLIsine Little Short acting (Also use the LI to remember LIspro)
gLARGEne LARGEine Long acting

And also I remember Detemir by remembering Boromir of LoTR who was a tall large person, especially compared to all the hobbits.

I bring you blessings from my LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO Is Coming Again To Judge the living and the dead hoping you believe In HIM Amen.

Great video would have been good to mention sulfonylureas cause weight gain and GLP-1 agonists cause weight loss

[МэриТейлор-бо]

Your mnemonics are the best, so creative!

[RoadtoAGPCNP]

This has got to be the best video I have watched thus far, explaining the mechanisms of action of diabetes drugs, including ways to remember and understand why they cause the adverse reactions they cause. Great video!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I cannot believe I just found you while halfway through my second year of pharmacy school... I will now be using your videos instead of going to lecture! (only mostly kidding)

[drdhirajrajregmi]

OHA by weight status:

Weight Gain: Thiazolidinediones, Sulfonylureas (SunTan)

Weight Neutral: DPP4 Inhibitors

Weight Loss: Metformin, GLP1 analogs, SGLT2 Inhibitors (MSG in food causes weight loss)
