Quality Improvement of Type 2 Diabetes: Improving Patient Outcomes

Glycemic control remains the cornerstone of management of type 2 diabetes (T2D) as it plays a vital role in preventing or delaying the onset and progression of complications. Individualizing therapeutic goals and using modern antihyperglycemic agents when appropriate is crucial to safe and effective management of T2D. These educational activities aim to increase awareness of cardiovascular outcomes data and provide practical strategies to help patients achieve T2D goals using combination therapy.

Polling Question


How have you interpreted the data from LEADER and EXSCEL?
I often recommend liraglutide over exenatide ER to most of my patients with T2D and established CVD if tolerated
The results from LEADER cannot be extrapolated to patients with T2D without CVD
I am more comfortable using weekly exenatide ER in patients with T2D who have CV risk factors if tolerated
Differences in trial designs, patient populations, and treatment persistence may explain the differences in outcomes in LEADER and EXSCEL
