Hey Dirty! I just wanna say thank you SO much for everything you do. I just found out that I passed STEP and I'm pretty sure I owe most of my success to your channel. You explain things so beautifully and I love how simple you make everything. May you live forever and continue to put out this amazing content for future medical students.

For Sulfonylureas, you can memorize it has “G (Gee), IDE take your sulfonylurea. The G is because all sulfonylureas start with G. This helps to separate the sulfonylureas from the meglitinides since they also end with IDE

Your videos always turn hours of work into something anyone can learn within minutes thank you so much for all your contributions. I can recall so much thanks to your videos. I hope I as well can contribute to you too(financially).

Remebering Insulins by time of action is quite easy. But confusion can arise between Glulisine and Glargine. This confusion is cleared by: gluLIsine Little Short acting (Also use the LI to remember LIspro) gLARGEne LARGEine Long acting And also I remember Detemir by remembering Boromir of LoTR who was a tall large person, especially compared to all the hobbits.

This has got to be the best video I have watched thus far, explaining the mechanisms of action of diabetes drugs, including ways to remember and understand why they cause the adverse reactions they cause. Great video!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

PHENOMENAL VIDEO!! I'm currently an FNP student and I've had such a hard time grasping diabetes medications. Thank you so much for sharing your understanding. The way you broke down each drug class and the pneumonics were super helpful. God bless you!
-
I've never watched a single video that gave me as much confidence in answering questions as this video. You are filthy smart. great vid
-
I understand the mechanisms but I always had a hard time getting the names right. The mnemonics are so out-of-the-box it's now easier to remember. Thank you 💙

Great video would have been good to mention sulfonylureas cause weight gain and GLP-1 agonists cause weight loss
-
this is fantastic! I sure wish I'd (IDE, haha) had a resource like this when I was in medical school 30 years ago - but the internet was barely coming into existence then!😆 thank you for your clear, clever, concise contribution to medical learning (there's some alliteration for you!) ❤
-
Thank you so much for this video! I just took my NP boards today and had a ton of DM2 questions related to mechanism of action on these meds. This video was a lifesaver!!! I passed my board exams. Thank you so much for the great mnemonics. ☺️❤️

Good to mention newly introduced ultra long acting insulin degludec, with 42 hours duration of action
-
These were great! Thank you for the short explanations and the pneumonic. I love your channel.

Taking step 3 soon and still watching your videos. You’re amazing, thank you🙏
-
Oi, Dirty! Thanks so much for this! I'm finishing up my LVN training and your video is making the oral antiglycemics fun to learn. Thanks again!

I am a nursing student who has watched several videos explaining oral diabetic drugs, and this video is the best by far!
-
Where was this video all my life?.... Love the mnemonic formulation

gLARGEine - long acting insulin

Thanks a lot Dirty Medicine! I have a lot of experience with this type of illness. I've tried numerous therapies and diets, all to no avail. Until a colleague suggested gluconize and that was the end of it. Today, I live a healthy lifestyle, which I recommend to everyone.
