#6 SGLT-2 Inhibitors: One Med to Rule Them All? - Austin Bush, MD
How can one class of medication be beneficial in treating type 2 diabetes, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease? It may seem too good to be true, but your hosts welcome guest Austin Bush, MD to discuss the evidence and why family physicians should be regularly prescribing these medications.
We then introduce a new segment, "This Week in Placebo Effect," where we discuss the mysterious effects of placebo, even when study participants know they are taking a placebo! We look at a trial where open-label placebo is used for treatment of pediatric functional abdominal pain and irritable bowel syndrome.
