Shifting the Focus: Endocrinology-Led Practices for Complication-Centric Management of T2D Through Optimization of GLP-1 RAs and Dual GIP/GLP-1 RAs

Train the Trainer

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality that is highly associated with the comorbidities of ASCVD, CKD, and obesity, among others. Despite guideline recommendations, antihyperglycemic agents with cardioprotective benefits continue to be underutilized in patients for whom these therapies are clearly indicated. This can be attributed in part to the complexity of patients coupled with a vast amount of outcomes data, leading to a more complicated decision-making process and persistent clinical inertia.

To support endocrinology providers in their ability to navigate this complexity, this training program, modeled on the CDC Training of Trainers approach, provides learners with the tools and resources to individualize therapeutic targets and glucose-lowering regimens based on multiple factors, including the presence of comorbidities, such as obesity or cardiovascular risk.

Learners who complete the training can download expert-developed educational content and practical tools to facilitate peer-to-peer learning with their clinical team and enhance their routine practices for complication-centric management of T2D.
