Overview:
With an estimated 13% of the adult US population diagnosed with diabetes, dietitians are likely to see an increasing number of patients who need diabetes care. Fortunately, diabetes management technologies are rapidly changing and offering more options. It can be challenging to keep up with the latest drugs, but it is vital to stay well-informed and up-to-date so you can provide the best possible care.

This presentation will cover the three newest classes of diabetes drugs:
• GLP1-RA (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists): Trulicity, Victoza, Ozempic.
• DPP4i (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors): Januvia, Onglyza, Trajenta.
• SGLT2i (sodium/glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors): Invokana, Farxiga, Jardiance, Steglatro.

In this one-hour webinar, we will review the most important facts about these drugs: how they work, who they work best for, and the pros and cons. This will expand your ability to take on the ever-evolving challenges of diabetes care when working with both fellow practitioners and patients.
