Addressing Pathophysiology in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes: Newer Agents Objectives Islet-Cell Defects: Incretins, Amylin State the modes of action and clinical potential of amylin agonists, and incretin-based therapies Hepatic and Peripheral Insulin Resistance State the modes of action and clinical potential of other more recently introduced agents in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes: bromocryptine and colesevelam Differentiate New and Traditional Treatment Strategies Re: A1c lowering potential, route of administration, effects on weight and/or CV risk factors, and whether or not they can be used as part of mono- or combination therapy strategies.
