  2. Critiqued the pharmacologic options with their expected A1c reductions, side effect profiles and safety concerns.
  3. Applied a glucose-centric approach to incorporate oral and non-insulin injectable agents in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes.
  4. Demonstrated how a patient-centric approach promotes empowerment and positive outcomes.
