Statement of Need

A major hurdle in managing type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a widespread gap in clinician awareness around the powerful, far-reaching benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). These innovative therapies help reduce the burden of cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic (CKM) syndromes, offering a game-changing opportunity to elevate patient care. Targeted and evidence-based education is crucial to empower clinicians and multidisciplinary care teams with practical strategies for patient selection and personalized therapy, especially when managing patients with complex comorbidities. Deepening clinical understanding and confidence will position GLP-1 RAs as a pillar of T2D treatment and drive better outcomes for patients with T2D and associated CKM complications.

In the first activity of this CME Outfitters Snack series, expert faculty will identify the multifaceted impact of GLP-1 RA therapies on glycemic control, CV health, weight management, renal health, liver health, and overall T2D complication risk.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to better:

  • Identify the multifaceted impact of GLP-1 RA therapies on glycemic control, CV health, weight management, renal health, liver health, and overall T2D complication risk
