This interactive case-based activity on type 2 diabetes will review therapy intensification, application of the SGLT2 inhibitors, and novel combination regimens. The cases, led by Dr. George Bakris, allow you to make clinical decisions throughout and provide you with personalized education recommendations.
Diabetes continues to have a significant impact on morbidity and mortality in the United States, and is an ongoing treatment challenge for primary care providers who lack confidence with treatment intensification including newer agents and combination therapies. Further, approaches to improved adherence and lifestyle modification through shared-decision making continue to evolve with the goal of improving quality of care.
