Overview :

As the US population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) grows, community-based clinicians face challenges in implementing recommendations on individualizing treatment goals and therapeutic regimens. This webcast focuses on efficacy, safety, and prescribing considerations with incretin-based antihyperglycemic medications, including results from cardiovascular outcomes trials and combination formulations with insulin analogs.

Learning Objectives :

• Describe the underlying mechanisms of T2DM, focusing on the pathophysiologic and potentially therapeutic roles of incretin hormone signaling
• Identify comprehensive treatment goals for T2DM that reflect the degree of hyperglycemia, relevant comorbidities, and other patient-specific factors
• Discuss the comprehensive clinical profiles of incretin-based therapies, including the potential benefits and risks of combining these agents with insulin
• Intensify antihyperglycemic regimens with incretin-based therapies to achieve individualized glycemic targets
• Educate patients with T2DM to motivate lifestyle modifications, reduce hypoglycemia risks, and enhance treatment adherence

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
