This talk will cover recent clinical trials presented at the ADA in 2019 that have an impact on the management of diabetes, such as cardiovascular outcomes trials and the first oral GLP-1 RA phase 3 data. The faculty will take you through the latest guidelines from the ADA regarding the management of type 2 diabetes and describe how recent clinical trial data has been integrated in to these guidelines. After this meeting review, you will be equipped to manage type 2 diabetes based on these guidelines.

In this case presentation, Dr. Lee shares strategies for designing basal insulin regimens considering patient comorbidities and socioeconomic factors, highlights the differences between conventional and newer basal insulins, and describes how to appropriately initiate and dose newer basal insulin products in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Join us as we discuss key points from the 2019 update to the American Diabetes Association and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes consensus report. This update is now reflected in the American Diabetes Association's Standards of Medical Care—2020.

Primary care clinicians (PCCs) are ideally suited to educate and advise people with type 2 diabetes about basal insulin. This program will inform PCCs about current recommendations and advances in the safe and effective use of basal insulin, so they can provide individualized, appropriate care for their patients.

In this episode we discuss how periodontal disease worsens A1C and other clinical outcomes in T2DM.

When patients with T2DM have difficulty controlling their glucose with standard approaches, or are newly diagnosed but severely hyperglycemic, insulin is commonly used to help control their metabolism. Using long acting, once a day agents is a standard of care but in the last 15 years, the costs of insulin has skyrocketed. During this episode we will review a study examining the effects of using Neutral Protamine Hagedorn Insulin (NPH) rather than once a day insulin on A1c control and risk for hypoglycemia and discuss their findings, which suggest NPH can be used with equivalent glycemic control and with no additional risk.

In this expert perspective, Dr. Richard E. Pratley shares strategies for designing insulin regimens that are individualized based upon patient-specific factors. He will also describe the differences between conventional basal insulin products and new-generation basal insulin products, and how to appropriately initiate and titrate newer basal insulin products.

Two leading experts in type 2 diabetes management will review the benefits and limitations of GLP-1 receptor agonists, including a new oral agent in this class, by providing expert syntheses of clinical trial data and demonstrating how to turn this information into useful, actionable guidance for routine patient care.

This talk will provide an opportunity for the learner to (anonymously) test his/her knowledge in the management of people with type 2 diabetes using cases and an ARS. The cases will also be used to illustrate the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes and provide an opportunity for developing a practical approach to treating people with type 2 diabetes, utilizing the commonest and newest medications available. The cases will also help the learners use medications safely and understand advantages and disadvantages, and common side effects of each class of medication. Finally a practical approach to the initiation and intensification of basal insulin will be covered.
