This activity consists of an online webcast featuring audio and synchronized slides with the goal to provide clinically focused education on insulin and non-insulin injectables, overcoming clinical inertia, and participatory medicine/the importance of patient education. As a means to educate and empower patients, a patient education tool supplements the CME activity to assist those living with Type 2 Diabetes and their caregivers. Led by ProPatient, the patient initiative aims to enhance patient understanding and ability to become a more active participant in their own healthcare decisions and management. After a clinician completes the CME activity, the patient education will be offered to disseminate to the clinicians’ patients to support a shared decision-making approach when it comes to the discussion of available therapies.
This activity is intended for primary care providers including MDs, DOs, NPs, and PAs. A separate patient education activity has been developed for patients with diabetes and their caregivers.
Despite clinical practice recommendations to personalize diabetes management, clinical inertia persists and approximately one-half of people with type 2 diabetes do not achieve glycemic control. Late initiation of injectable therapies, which in some patients occurs only after many years of high glycemic burden, is one of the major contributors. Another variable contributing to these gaps in care may be incomplete understanding of newer developments in therapies, devices, and treatment consensus. This activity will provide clinically focused education on insulin and non-insulin injectable therapies, overcoming clinical inertia, and the importance of participatory medicine.
Upon completion of this activity participants will be able to:
• Apply strategies to overcome clinical inertia in the initiation of injectable therapies in patients with T2D
• Identify different combinations of therapies with safety and efficacy profiles for patients with T2D
• Develop strategies to enhance communication with patients and their caregivers
• Apply strategies to overcome clinical inertia in the initiation of injectable therapies in patients with T2D
• Identify different combinations of therapies with safety and efficacy profiles for patients with T2D
• Develop strategies to enhance communication with patients and their caregivers

The Academy for Continued Healthcare Learning (ACHL) requires that the faculty participating in a CME/CE activity disclose all affiliations or other financial relationships (1) with the manufacturers of any commercial product(s) and/or provider(s) of commercial services discussed in an educational presentation and (2) with any commercial supporters of the activity. All conflicts of interest have been resolved prior to this CME/CE activity. ACHL also requires participating faculty to disclose when unapproved/unlabeled uses of a product are discussed in a CME/CE activity.
This CME/CE activity might describe the off-label, investigational, or experimental use of medications and/or devices that may exceed their FDA-approved labeling. Physicians should consult the current manufacturers’ prescribing information for these products. ACHL requires the speaker to disclose that a product is not labeled for the use under discussion.
The following financial relationships have been provided:

ACHL staff members and others involved with the planning, development, and review of the content for this activity have no relevant affiliations or financial relationships to disclose.
The content for this activity was developed independently of the commercial supporter. All materials are included with permission. The opinions expressed are those of the faculty and are not to be construed as those of the publisher or grantor.
This educational activity was planned and produced in accordance with the ACCME Accreditation Criteria, Policies, and Standards for Commercial Support. Recommendations involving clinical medicine in a continuing medical education (CME/CE) activity must be based on evidence that is accepted within the profession of medicine as adequate justification for their indications and contraindications in the care of patients. All scientific research referred to, reported, or used in CME/CE in support or justification of a patient care recommendation must conform to the generally accepted standards of experimental design, data collection, and analysis.
This activity will take approximately 75 minutes to complete. To receive credit, participants are required to complete the pre-test, view the online webcast and complete the post-test and evaluation forms. To receive credit, 75% must be achieved on the post-test. A certificate will be immediately available. There is no fee to participate in the activity or for the generation of the certificate.
