Description of CME Course

Management guidelines for type 2 diabetes (T2D) recommend a complications-centric approach, whereby glucose-lowering agents are selected based on an individual’s comorbid conditions. Agents in the sodium glucose cotransporter inhibitor and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist classes have shown risk reduction in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and heart failure, among other comorbidities, in people with T2D. Yet these agents are underutilized, with barriers to use including lack of knowledge on cardiovascular and renal benefits, competing comorbidities, and fear of adverse events. All members of the multidisciplinary care team play critical roles in reducing risk of comorbidities alongside managing blood glucose levels. They should therefore be well educated on prevention, diagnosis, and management of all T2D-related comorbid conditions to provide effective, personalized care.

This activity features 4 cases of individuals with T2D and comorbid conditions, and the learner progresses through each case by answering a series of quick-hit clinical decision questions. Following each decision point, learning reinforcement will be provided through supporting evidence. Each case will conclude with an expert roundtable discussion of clinical implications of various management approaches.
