Diabesity: Confronting the Dual Epidemic of Diabetes and Obesity

This session will delve into the intersection of obesity and type 2 diabetes.  Learners will explore strategies for glycemic and weight management, cardiorenal protection, and cardiovascular risk mitigation, with an emphasis on the latest guidelines for managing type 2 diabetes and providing holistic care.

Learning Objectives

  • Examine the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity and the therapeutic benefits of sustained weight loss on the long-term health risks of both conditions
  • Discuss a holistic integrated approach to the management of T2DM, obesity, and other comorbid conditions
  • Consider recent guideline recommendations for T2DM management, which stratify therapies according to their likelihood of achieving both glycemic and weight loss goals 
  • Examine the evidence for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors for cardiorenal protection in T2DM and obesity
