Diabetes Update Focusing on GLP-1s and SGLT-2s available through July 1, 2025
About one in ten Americans have diabetes with type 2 accounting for 90-95%. The glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) agonists and sodium-glucose transport protein 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are two of the more recently developed classes of diabetes drugs with the first drug approved in each class in 2005 and 2013, respectively. This program will focus on these drug classes to include how they work, risks and benefits, other indications and cost. Other nonpharmacological aspects of diabetes management will be reviewed including diabetes prevention strategies, individualized glucose recommendations and comprehensive diabetes care recommendations. The overlap among diabetes and other metabolic diseases (obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, kidney disease) will be woven into the various sections. The GLP-1s and SGLT-2s have newer indications including weight loss and heart failure treatment, even without diabetes, Prescribers will benefit from a comprehensive, nonbiased review of these drug classes.
– Analyze strategies for diabetes prevention
– Investigate the pharmacology of the diabetes drug classes: GLPS-1s and SGLT-2s
– Formulate a framework for comprehensive diabetes care
