Support Statement

This programme is supported by an unrestricted educational grant by Novo Nordisk A/S. The scientific programme has not been influenced in any way by the sponsors.

Overview

In this educational hub ‘Incretin Management in Type 2 Diabetes’ the faculty present the importance of screening and early intensification for better glycaemic control and improved vascular and mortality outcomes in type 2 diabetes.

 

In this series of CME accredited videos and downloadable summaries, leading global experts will guide you through how the incretin system works, what happens to it in type 2 diabetes and how to optimise the use of incretin-based agents for better patient outcomes.

Disclosure

In compliance with EBAC / EACCME guidelines, all speakers/chairpersons participating in this programme have disclosed or indicated potential conflicts of interest which might cause a bias in the presentations.


The Organising Committee/Course Director is responsible for ensuring that all potential conflicts of interest relevant to the event are declared to the audience prior to the CME activities.

Terms & Conditions

Radcliffe Education requires contributors to our CME programmes to disclose any relevant financial relationships that have occurred within the past 12 months that could create a conflict of interest. These will be identified in the faculty section if applicable.

 

The session of ‘Incretin Management in Type 2 Diabetes’ is accredited by the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology (EBAC) for 1 hour of external CME credits.

 

Each participant should claim only those hours of credit that have actually been spent in the educational activity. EBAC works according to the quality standards of the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME), which is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS).

 

Through an agreement between the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EBAC External CME credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Information on the process to convert EBAC credit to AMA credit can be found on the AMA website.

  • Nurses

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Recall the components of the ‘ominous octet’ & how they contribute to T2DM development
  • Identify underlying facets of clinical inertia in T2DM care
  • Describe how early adoption of intensive glycaemic control leads to better outcomes in T2DM
  • Recall efficacy & the mode of action of various incretin-based treatments
  • Adopt an early, intensive glucose-lowering strategy in appropriate individuals 
  • Select appropriate incretin treatment & dosing regimens according to patient profiles 
  • Identify individuals likely to gain cardiovascular benefit from GLP-1RAs 
  • Select appropriate actions following adverse events from incretin-based treatments
