program overview
Program Description
The American Diabetes Association Standards for Medical Care in Diabetes—2020 provide the strongest recommendations to date for the early use of glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonists (RAs) or sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who are at high risk for, or have already-established cardiovascular (CV) disease, heart failure, or chronic kidney disease. Notably, these guidelines recommend the early use of these agents in appropriate patients regardless of current or target A1C. In this activity, participants are challenged to make appropriate, evidence-based clinical decisions for a patient who presents with T2DM and a history of CV disease.
Format
Interactive Video Case Study
