The complexity of patients with T2D combined with the overwhelming amount of outcomes data complicates the treatment decision matrix exponentially and clinical inertia persists. This self-paced, interactive education includes a learning assessment followed by customizable content repository designed to sharpen your ability to individualize therapeutic targets and glucose-lowering regimens based on multiple factors, including the presence of comorbidities, such as obesity or cardiovascular risk. This unique 2-part activity accommodates the diverse learning needs of the diabetes team to ensure consistent knowledge across clinician types and support optimal care for all patients. Put your knowledge to the test, see how you compare to your peers and create your own customized learning experience!

This activity is intended for endocrinologists, diabetologists, certified diabetes care and education specialists (CDCES), NPs and PAs practicing in the specialty setting.

T2D is associated with comorbidities such as ASCVD, CKD, and obesity, among others, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Accumulating data from CVOTs have demonstrated the benefits of GLP-1 RAs, not just for glycemic management, but for improving outcomes related to MACEs in those with T2D. Clinical practice guidelines consistently recommend GLP-1 RAs based on their glycemic and nonglycemic effects, and new safety and efficacy data continually advance our understanding of the role of these therapies for patients with T2D. However, clinicians remain challenged to implement GLP-1 RA therapy in clinical practice for patients with T2D, including those with comorbidities who would benefit from the MACE-reducing effects of these therapies. The proposed educational initiative will target endocrinologists, diabetologists, certified diabetes care and education specialists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants practicing in the specialty setting and address knowledge and competence gaps related to the use of cardioprotective GLP-1 RAs for T2D.

• Interpret the latest data on glycemic and nonglycemic benefits of the GLP-1 RAs from clinical trials and real-world studies
• Discuss the benefits of earlier treatment intensification with GLP-1 RAs to reduce long-term complications in patients with type 2 diabetes
• Formulate individualized management strategies for type 2 diabetes that account for patient characteristics and clinical targets

Provided by the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists (ADCES) and the Academy for Continued Healthcare Learning (ACHL).

Supported by an educational grant from Novo Nordisk.

A large proportion of patients with T2D do not receive guideline-recommended therapy despite the importance of early treatment intensification to reduce complications such as cardiovascular disease. In this activity, customized learning responsive to each learner’s role and educational needs provides targeted content and resources to help clinicians enhance their practices and ensure that patients with T2D receive cardioprotective therapies.

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. ADCES and ACHL requires the speaker to disclose that a product is not labeled for the use under discussion.
