Type 2 Diabetes History – Key Questions & Management | OSCE Talk

In this episode of OSCE Talk, we break down Type 2 diabetes — one of the most common and important long-term conditions you'll encounter in both exams and clinical practice.
We cover the underlying insulin resistance, the key symptoms and diagnostic thresholds, major risk factors, and how to take a focused diabetes history in an OSCE.

You'll also learn the stepwise approach to management, including lifestyle changes, metformin, and newer agents like SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists.
We also discuss the impact of chronic hyperglycaemia on patients and healthcare systems, and why Type 2 diabetes is becoming increasingly prevalent.

This episode includes practical explanations, exam-relevant tips, and memorable frameworks to help you confidently assess and manage patients with Type 2 diabetes
