Maximum 50 words to introduce the activity The percentage of individuals with T2D achieving A1C <7% worsened from 2015-2018. Therapeutic inertia—failure to initiate or intensify treatment in a timely manner—is largely responsible for this problem. This program will support PCPs in overcoming therapeutic inertia through timely initiation and advancement of treatment with GLP-1 RAs and review guideline updates that support use of GLP-1 RA early in the treatment paradigm.

The percentage of individuals with T2D achieving A1C <7% worsened from 2015-2018. Therapeutic inertia—failure to initiate or intensify treatment in a timely manner—is largely responsible for this problem. This program will support PCPs in overcoming therapeutic inertia through timely initiation and advancement of treatment with GLP-1 RAs and review guideline updates that support use of GLP-1 RA early in the treatment paradigm. Learners will have the opportunity to evaluate their knowledge through multiple-choice and matching questions and case-based application.

You know that insulin therapy is an important tool in improving quality of life and health outcomes for your patients with diabetes, but are you familiar with the expanding array of diabetes technology that can play an important role in improving insulin delivery and management? Do you know how to optimally use these tools? After this activity, you’ll be able to interpret continuous glucose monitoring data to improve time-in-range, minimize hypoglycemia, and reduce postprandial glycemic excursions. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to incorporate diabetes technology into clinical practice to optimize insulin management, bolster patients’ confidence in self-management of their diabetes, and, ultimately, improve health outcomes.

Join Dr. Sanjiv Chopra, hepatologist, author, speaker, and thought leader as he interviews his guest, Dr. Martin Abrahamson, endocrinologist and associate professor at Harvard Medical School as they discuss major advances in diabetes as well as the promise of stem cell treatment, diet and weight loss in patients with diabetes, and advances in continuous glucose monitoring. The pair will end their conversation discussing what they have learned from patients over the years.

Take part in this interactive case scenario that will equip you to identify which patients with diabetes need prescriptions for treatment of severe hypoglycemia, describe the currently available glucagon formulations, and pick the best option for your patient.

This session will cover some new data regarding treatment of type 2 diabetes: the GRADE study, SURPASS phase 3 program, the STEP program for treatment of obesity. It will also provide an update on studies using SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP 1 receptor agonists in people with type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or chronic kidney disease.
