Building A Solid Foundation in Diabetes: The Nuts and Bolts of Insulin Therapy
In this activity, you will be asked to consider a patient likely to be encountered in family practice. The case will begin at a basic level and become more complex throughout the activity, as new factors are added requiring additional consideration and treatment adjustments. This approach will permit piecewise acquisition of knowledge within the framework of a complete case using a jigsaw-puzzle format, engaging you in real-time learning with immediate clinical applicability. You will be able to submit and compare your responses to other participants.

No Sugar Coating Required: Real-Life Application of Incretin-Based Therapies in Type 2 Diabetes
Incretin-based therapies, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, provide effective glycemic control in type 2 diabetes (T2D), paired with beneficial nonglycemic effects on weight, lipids, and blood pressure.
This unique program will highlight the comparative effectiveness and safety of these agents, appropriate patient selection, timely treatment initiation, and common barriers to glycemic control through the use of a simulated patient.
This activity is intended for osteopathic physicians who treat patients with T2D.

Hot Seat Discussion on GLP-1 Receptor Agonists ...Your Questions Answered
Recent clinical trials have demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) at different stages of diabetes progression, and exploratory studies suggest the potential for therapeutic uses other than glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This continuing medical education (CME/CE) symposium will focus on hot topics arising from the most current information relevant to GLP-1 RAs.
This activity includes an introductory segment followed by 8 "hot topic" discussions, each consisting of comparative answer polling questions; a short written excerpt of relevant, corresponding clinical data; and audio clips of the faculty roundtable discussion derived from questions received during the live activity.

Tailoring Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes: Uncovering the HOW and NOW of GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Therapy
This activity, and the live symposium on which it is based, were supported by an education grant from Novo Nordisk, Inc. The live symposium, “Tailoring Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes: Uncovering the HOW and NOW of GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Therapy,” presented Thursday, March 17, 2011, at the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians’ (ACOFP) 48th Annual Convention & Exhibition in San Antonio, Texas, was sponsored by the ACOFP and developed by the Institute for Medical and Nursing Education.

DIABETES :: Monograph
Peak Issues 3: Clinical Use Of Incretin-Based Therapies To Treat Type 2 Diabetes
This program is intended for endocrinologists, diabetologists, and other healthcare professionals (HCPs) who frequently treat patients with type 2 diabetes. This publication series will explore the science of PPG and its contribution to glycemic control, and highlight recent and emerging therapies that address this important target.
DIABETES :: Webcast Series
Evolving Landscape of Incretin-Based Therapies Webcast
Type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease that often requires treatment intensification using several therapeutic agents. Incretin-based therapies address numerous pathophysiologic defects in type 2 diabetes with limited side effects.This content will discuss incretin-based therapies in depth, from pathophysiologic effects to clinical use, and will incorporate interactive questions whereby you can evaluate your answers against those of your colleagues, along with a concluding faculty panel discussion.

Cases in Practice: Incretin-Based Therapies for Common Patient Encounters
This activity is composed of 3 interactive case studies which explore options for the clinical use of incretin-based therapies in diverse clinical scenarios. Because each case study examines different aspects of diabetes care, completion of all 3 is expected to provide a broader perspective regarding the use of the 2 available classes of incretin-based therapies.

Breaking the Cycle: Using Incretin-Based Therapies to Overcome Clinical Inertia in Type 2 Diabetes
Incretin-based therapies, with their unique pathophysiology, have rapidly evolved into a therapeutic option that can fill this role. The symposium content, enhanced with an audience response system (ARS) and a case-based panel discussion, will concentrate on various critical aspects of successful type 2 diabetes disease management. Patient selection and strategies for advancement to incretin-based therapies are among the topics that will be discussed.
