PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This activity will explore strategies to improve glycemic and metabolic outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A review of clinical trial data will enable clinicians to personalize the selection of therapies for patients and examine the role of emerging dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonists in the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Select therapies for the improvement of glycemic and extra-glycemic outcomes in patients with T2DM.
  • Determine the rationale for targeting GIP and GLP-1 receptors in the treatment of type2 diabetes and its metabolic comorbidities.
  • Identify patients in their own practice who may potentially benefit from treatments targeting GIP and GLP-1 receptors in the future based on knowledge of recent clinical data
