ROLE OF GLP-1 RECEPTOR AGONISTS IN THE TREATMENT CONTINUUM OF TYPE 2 DIABETES |
|
|
|
Our guest author is Rajesh Garg, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts.
After participating in this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:
 |
Explain why GLP-1 agonists should be considered early in the treatment of T2DM in obese patients.
|
|
Discuss why GLP-1 agonists may be a better choice than basal insulin in selected obese patients with T2DM. |
|
Describe why adding GLP-1 agonist to a treatment regimen that already includes basal insulin may be better than adding nutritional insulin in obese patients with T2DM. |
This discussion, offered as a downloadable audio file and companion transcript, covers the important topic of the Role of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in the Treatment Continuum of Type 2 Diabetes in the format of case-study scenarios for the clinical practice. This program is a follow up to the Volume 1, Issue 7 eDiabetes Review newsletter — Role of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists in the Treatment Continuum of Type 2 Diabetes.
