Episode 15. Type 2 Diabetes with Dr Chin Tan
In this episode, we have a conversation about Type 2 diabetes, a condition that affects at least 1.2 million Australians (5% of Australians) and for which there are a complex number of pharmacologic treatment strategies available.
We are joined by experienced and very popular Endocrinologist Dr Chin Tan who discusses –
· Oral hypoglycaemic agents that are available to us in Australia
· How to combine these agents for effective glycaemic control
· The place of insulin in type 2 diabetes
Chin also discusses the broader metabolic syndrome and the key requirement for BMI control in type 2 diabetic patients.
This is a detailed conversation which I hope you will find very informative.
