Course Description

The landscape of type 2 diabetes management is rapidly evolving, particularly with the expanding roles of GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists. This program provides a simplified, evidence-based approach to antihyperglycemic agent selection, empowering you to confidently navigate therapeutic choices. Delve into the latest data from key cardiometabolic outcome trials and translate this evidence into practical strategies for your daily practice. Learn to implement a shared decision-making process that aligns with patient priorities; from glycemic targets and weight loss to cardiovascular risk reduction, to optimize cardiometabolic outcomes and enhance patient care.


Sponsorship for this program was provided as an unrestricted educational grant from Eli Lilly Canada Inc.

Learning Objective(s)

Upon completion of this continuing education program participants will be better able to:

  • Apply current evidence and patient preferences to guide the selection of antihyperglycemic therapies for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), considering cardiovascular risk and glycemic targets.
  • Compare the clinical profiles of GLP-1 RAs and GIP/GLP-1 RAs to determine appropriate therapy for individuals with T2D.
  • Interpret key findings from cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) in T2D. 
  • Implement strategies to support safe and effective use of GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 therapies in T2D, including mitigation of adverse effects and patient education.
