Radiocast: November is American Diabetes Month
Debra: This is Healthcare 411: Information for better health. If you’re
one of the millions of Americans with type 2 diabetes, a guide from AHRQ can
help you work with your clinician to compare oral medicines and decide which
one, or combination of drugs, might work best for you. AHRQ researcher Dr.
Steven Fox explains:
Dr. Fox: The diabetes guide is designed to help consumers make informed
decisions. It includes information on the common kinds of diabetes pills, how
well they work for adults with Type 2 diabetes, their possible side effects, and
wholesale prices.
Debra: Web and audio versions of the guide, called "Pills for Type 2
Diabetes: A Guide for Adults," are available online at
effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov. For other health care topics, visit
healthcare411.ahrq.gov.
Healthcare 411 is produced by AHRQ, the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. I’m Debra
James for Healthcare 411.
