This activity was developed for endocrinologists, internists, primary care clinicians, and other healthcare professionals who manage patients with type 2 diabetes.
Management of type 2 diabetes is shifting to new treatment modalities that offer low risks of hypoglycemia and weight gain while effectively lowering blood glucose levels. GLP-1 receptor agonists can be used alone or in combination with other agents. This case-based continuing education program will explore the relative merits of GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy across the spectrum of patients with type 2 diabetes and provide a pathophysiologic and clinical rationale for the use of these agents. Faculty will present complex cases and review the rationale for and against different therapeutic options, and present data supporting why GLP-1 receptor agonists might be appropriate as part of mono- or combination-therapy strategies. Clinical scenarios and patient complexities that may require physicians to reconsider, re-evaluate, adjust therapy, or re-affirm their clinical decisions will be posed to the faculty for their expert opinions.
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
