This activity is intended for diabetologists & endocrinologists, primary care physicians, and cardiologists.
The goal of this activity is to provide participants with an understanding of the importance of improving cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in diabetes management, and how recently reported CV outcomes data related to type 2 diabetes (T2D) therapies impact current and future clinical practice.
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
