This PeerView onDemand activity, based on an educational session from the 2019 Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, features a panel of cardiology, endocrinology, and primary care experts, who provide their clinical perspectives on assessing patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who are at high risk for cardiovascular (CV) disease and other risk factors. These experts discuss recent and emerging data for antihyperglycemic agents (ie, GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors) and how to incorporate this practice-changing information into individualized treatment plans for these high-risk patients. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Screen patients with or at high risk of CV disease for T2DM, Assess individual patients with T2DM for risk factors that frequently complicate diabetes management (ie, history of atherosclerotic CV disease, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, hypoglycemia, obesity), Design individualized treatment regimens that consider and incorporate recent and emerging data for antihyperglycemic agents that have been shown to reduce CV risk in patients with T2DM, Collaborate with multidisciplinary colleagues to successfully reduce CV risk in individual patients with T2DM
