Start Activity


Target Audience and Goal Statement

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:

  1. Identify the link between diabetes, CVD, and risk
  2. Recognize the rationale for CV outcomes trials in patients with T2D
  3. Compare CV outcomes clinical data among older and modern classes of antihyperglycemic agents
  4. Assess effect of CV outcomes data on modern T2D practice
