TITLE
Targeting Mealtime Glucose Excursions and Glycemic Control in T2DM: How and When Should We Use Newer Insulins?

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
There is a clear need to educate clinicians who manage patients with T2DM, particularly those in underserved communities, about faster-acting mealtime insulins, including how to identify eligible patients, and how to implement individualized treatment protocols and address challenges related to insulin initiation and intensification. In addition, it is essential that multidisciplinary HCPs are updated regarding practical strategies for implementing effective telehealth protocols to improve the ability of all patients with diabetes to self-manage their disease and remain actively engaged in care.

In this activity, participants will be guided through a series of small group learning modules by a group leader who is a well-recognized T2DM expert within their community. The curriculum focuses on a group’s collective accomplishment of a shared goal — improving outcomes for patients with T2DM who are likely to benefit from the addition of a newer insulin, such as an MTI, to their therapeutic regimen and improving the delivery of telehealth services to underserved patients with T2DM via a multidisciplinary team approach.

INTENDED AUDIENCES
Primary Care/General Practitioner physicians (MDs/DOs), NPs, PAs, and Certified Diabetes Educators (CDEs)

COMMERCIAL SUPPORTER
This activity is supported by an educational grant from Lilly. 

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
After taking part in this educational activity, clinicians should be better able to:

• Utilize validated, evidence-based measurement tools beyond A1c to identify patients with T2DM who could benefit from the addition of a rapid-acting mealtime insulin (MTI) to their current treatment regimen
• Identify and address factors that contribute to delays in treatment intensification, including the documented underuse of newer insulins, among patients with T2DM
• Implement individualized treatment strategies that incorporate the use of newer insulins, including rapid-acting MTIs, for appropriate patients with T2DM
• Utilize the full diabetes care team, with a focus on the use of telehealth services, to educate and support patients with T2DM who are either prescribed or may be candidates for newer insulin formulations
