Benefits of Diabetes Agents: Beyond Blood Glucose

July 21, 2020

Session Description: There is growing evidence to support benefits of antidiabetic therapy beyond glycemic lowering. Recent guidelines include consideration of underlying comorbidities including obesity, renal, cardiovascular, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in individualizing treatment regimens for our patients. Our colleagues in cardiology and nephrology have also begun to prescribe these medications for risk modification beyond glycemic control. A thorough understanding of the evidence to support recent guidelines is essential to designing treatment regimens to successfully achieve glycemic targets while modifying the risk associated with comorbid conditions.

Faculty: Jennifer Green, MD
Duke University

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe the efficacy and safety of SGLT-2 inhibitor therapy in patients with renal and cardiovascular disease, and heart failure.
  2. Discuss the evidence to support GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy in patients with cardiovascular and renal disease.
  3. Apply the evidence for use of GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy in patients with obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
