Healthcare providers face significant challenges in managing patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), particularly in knowing when to modify or intensify treatment and in recognizing less effective options. To provide optimal care, HCPs should be equipped with up-to-date professional guidelines, the latest clinical evidence on emerging therapies, and strategies for involving patients in shared decision-making, with an emphasis on prioritizing weight management for comprehensive T2D care.
Developed in collaboration with local AAFP Chapters, this 3-part CE series, Shedding Light on Type 2 Diabetes: Weight Management & Future Breakthroughs, offers expert insights and best practices. The series was designed to help healthcare providers to understand the role of weight in T2D outcomes, explores weight management as a therapeutic strategy, and covers effective shared decision-making techniques to enhance comprehensive T2D care.
