Start Activity


Target Audience and Goal Statement

This educational activity is intended for an international audience of non-US diabetologists and endocrinologists, primary care physicians, and cardiologists.

The goal of this activity is to familiarize physicians with the multiple clinical benefits provided by long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs).

Upon completion of this activity, participants will:

  • Have increased knowledge regarding the
    • Documented multifactorial benefits of, and clinical trial evidence for, different long-acting GLP-1 RAs on cardiometabolic surrogate parameters and on macrovascular risk factors as demonstrated in clinical development programs and cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs)
    • Importance of weight and blood pressure (BP) control, the improvement in lipids in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) therapeutics, and the potentially negative impact of different glucose-lowering medications on these risk factors
  • Have greater competence related to
    • The clinical practice implications of current and future long-acting GLP-1 RAs for patients with T2DM
