About This Activity
This enduring activity was developed in part from a CE-certified symposium held on Thursday, October 3, 2013, during OMED 2013 Osteopathic Medical Conference & Exposition in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Target Audience
This CE activity is intended for osteopathic physicians and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with type 2 diabetes.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity learners should be better able to:
Identify different concerns and pathophysiologic considerations that exist for patients at different times in the course of diabetes progression
Differentiate GLP-1 receptor agonists from traditional glucose-lowering agents with respect to A1C lowering effects, weight effects, and risks of hypoglycemia
Explain the differences between GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy and DPP-4 inhibitor therapy in patient-centered language
Describe how GLP-1 receptor agonists may be used as monotherapy, part of combination therapy strategies, with insulin, and over the course of diabetes
