Accreditation and Disclosure Information
Target Audience
This activity is intended for academic and community health care practitioners, including endocrinologists and diabetologists, endocrinology clinical researchers, fellows, and allied health professionals (nurse practitioners, physician associates, nurses, and pharmacists) who provide care for individuals with diabetes.
Educational Objectives
After completing this CE activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Assess the current limitations that exist with traditional insulin therapies to support the rationale for the emerging role of novel therapies with unique mechanism of action (MOA) and pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamic properties.
- Evaluate the latest efficacy and safety data for new and emerging options for basal insulin therapy in T2D management, including once-weekly versus once-daily basal insulin formulations.
- Develop a comprehensive approach to incorporate basal insulin therapy into T2D treatment plans in accordance with current guidelines, emphasizing the need for individualized care and shared decision-making approaches to facilitate improved patient outcomes.
- Identify the importance of early patient education and the impact of non-adherence to basal insulin therapy on T2D management
Agenda
- Part 1: Barriers to Basal Insulin Therapy Initiation and Management in Type 2 Diabetes
- Part 2: Innovations on the Horizon: Emerging Trends in Basal Insulin Therapy
- Part 3: Strategies for Advancing T2D Care: Initiation, Integration, Collaboration, and Patient Empowerment
