This activity is intended for physicians and advanced practice providers in the primary care setting who treat diverse patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
The management of T2DM has evolved rapidly with the introduction of new agents to address the needs of the 30 million Americans and 422 million adults worldwide living with diabetes; however, glycemic control cannot generally be achieved or maintained with oral monotherapy and for many patients combination therapy with two oral agents will also be insufficient and ~50% of patients in the US do not reach an HbA1c <7%. In addition, the vast majority of diabetes care in the US is provided in primary care settings in which therapeutic intensification is less common than in endocrinology practices where glycemic control is more likely. Consequently, detailed knowledge of the various treatment options is necessary for appropriate therapeutic intensification, avoidance of side effects, and optimized clinical outcomes. Through this activity, clinicians in primary care settings will gain knowledge and confidence, and enhance their competence, in the comprehensive management of T2DM.
Aspects of comprehensive management that will be addressed to meet the needs of clinicians in the primary care setting and to overcome current gaps in care include education on the growing therapeutic armamentarium, such as the newer incretin-based therapies (ie, GLP-1 receptor agonists and dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists); the importance of a comprehensive treatment approach that addresses overweight and obesity in order to minimize morbidity and mortality; individualizing therapeutic strategies to achieve both glycemic control and reduction of cardiometabolic risk; and strategies for overcoming barriers to care, such as social determinants of health (SDOH).
Upon completion of this activity, learners will be able to:
- Describe the benefits of earlier treatment intensification and weight loss in achieving established goals for glycemic control
- Summarize the latest research on the role of incretin-based therapies in patients with T2DM, obesity, and obesity-related comorbidities
- Optimize strategies to achieve sustained weight loss in T2DM patients based on varied patient characteristics and targets
- Formulate individualized management strategies to reduce long-term complications in patients with T2DM

This educational activity was planned and produced in accordance with the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education. 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 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.
