Hopkins Medicine endocrinologist publishes first clinical practice review on diabetes management
New medicines for people who have diabetes seem to pop up all the time. Drugs that help the body break down carbohydrates, drugs that increase excretion of glucose in the urine, drugs that help muscles respond to insulin and drugs that stimulate the pancreas to produce it -; the list of pharmaceutical options to treat diabetes gets longer and longer.
