Target Audience and Goal Statement
This educational activity is intended for an international audience of non-US healthcare professionals, specifically general
diabetologists, endocrinologists, and general practitioners involved in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
(T2DM).
The goal of this activity is to educate physicians on the implementation of European guidelines for T2DM. Guidelines stress
achieving glycemic goals for more patients by emphasizing a treatment approach that targets each individual patient's needs
and preferences.
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Outline current unmet needs, treatment challenges, and management limitations in T2DM and how contemporary approaches to therapy
might help to address those needs and challenges
- Analyze patient-related factors such as comorbidities, regimen and therapy preferences (including use of injectables), and
patient-adherence issues
- Compare the benefits and drawbacks of longer-acting (weekly) agents vs shorter-acting (daily) agents, with a focus on glucagon-like
peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, and the patient types for whom weekly therapies would be most advantageous
Disclosures
WebMD Global requires each individual who is in a position to control the content of one of its educational activities to
