🗑
DM lifestyle mods: Focus of sessions   Review food & activity records; Problem-solve difficulties; Praise participant's effort  
🗑
Modest wt loss & DM   modest wt loss reduces incidence of new-onset DM in at-risk popn  
🗑
When to Start Insulin: T2DM: Insulin can:   (when used in adequate doses) decrease any level of elevated A1C to, or close to, the therapeutic goal  
🗑

🗑
When to Start Insulin: T2DM: Large insulin doses   Relatively lg doses of insulin (1 unit/kg), cf w/ those required to tx T1DM, may be necessary to overcome the insulin resistance of T2DM and lower A1C to the target level  
🗑
MOA: Biguanides   Decrease hepatic glucose output/gluconeogenesis. Increase skeletal muscle uptake of glucose  
🗑
