GLP-1 RAs: Real-World Patient-Care Strategies for Type 2 Diabetes
This interactive, case-based activity provides education on the clinical characteristics of the GLP-1 RAs, how they differ from each other, and the rationale and guidance for their use with patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).

Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, learners should be able to:
Differentiate available GLP-1 RAs based on therapy characteristics
Utilize patient preferences and available treatment guidelines to select optimal GLP-1 RA for patients with T2D
