Corrections to the Video
- At 26:12 of the presentation I have Glucobay as the brand name of metformin. The brand name of metformin is Glucophage and Glucobay is the brand name of acarbose.
- At 30:56 as I mention verbally in the video the question should read TWO tablets of metformin 500mg twice daily not metformin 500mg twice daily
