Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (slow intestinal carbohydrate digestion/absorption) e.g
Elevated evening cortisol prevents sleep onset, reduces deep sleep, and creates a self-reinforcing cycle: poor sleep raises cortisol, which further impairs sleep
Calculating units for any dose at any concentration uses one formula: Units = (desired dose in mg / concentration in mg per mL) x 100 For example, at 2.5 mg/mL concentration, a 0.375mg dose would be: (0.375 / 2.5) x 100 = 15 units
Weight loss numbers can exceed 75-80 lbs over the full treatment course
Other medications that can facilitate weight loss in T2D, notably the SGLT2 inhibitors, may prove more acceptable and better tolerated than GLP-1 RAs
