PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
Intensive therapy for tight glycemic control improves long-term outcomes in patients with T2DM. However, diabetes care is generally suboptimal, and up to two-thirds of people with T2DM do not achieve glycemic targets. T2DM patients are at increased risk for microvascular and macrovascular complications, depending upon the duration of diabetes and degree of hyperglycemia. The SGLT2 inhibitors are newer options for T2DM management that, unlike other antidiabetic agents, do not target insulin deficiency and resistance in T2DM, and therefore offer a different approach for managing this condition. Given their mechanism of action, the SGLT2 inhibitors can facilitate glycemic control while avoiding hypoglycemia, and promoting weight loss. They also exert beneficial effects on multiple cardiovascular and renal risk parameters, as demonstrated in recent trials, and may confer cardiovascular and renal protection. When used in combination therapy with other anti-diabetic agents for T2DM, the SGLT2 inhibitors can exert additive/synergistic effects.
This activity utilizes segments of a presentation by the faculty recorded at one of the Emerging Challenges in Primary Care symposia, to reinforce teaching points made during this program. Participants can expect to learn how to effectively integrate the SLGT2 class of medications into practice and the emerging data surrounding renal and macrovascular effects of diabetes treatments.
