Early intervention is central to reducing excess weight gain and the risk of obesity-related comorbidities, yet many people never receive a formal diagnosis or specialty obesity care. With this in mind, how can clinicians best support this patient population? Endocrinologists, in particular, are on the front lines of managing and treating this complex disease. In this PeerView inReview, an expert uses patient videos to explain what you need to know about effective, compassionate patient communication and offers practical guidance on how to best integrate anti-obesity medications into patient care to improve long-term outcomes. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Prioritize obesity as a chronic, progressive disease that requires individualized, long-term management; Initiate nonjudgmental conversations with individuals living with obesity and engage in effective shared decision-making discussions to achieve sustained weight loss; Compare the mechanism of action, efficacy, and safety of approved and emerging medications for the long-term management of obesity; and Identify people with obesity who could benefit from treatment with anti-obesity medications

Insulin is indispensable to the treatment of diabetes, but its use in people with diabetes presents numerous well-known challenges. As many as 40% of people with T2DM require insulin therapy, but only about one-third initiate basal insulin. How can endocrinologists and other healthcare providers ease the treatment burden for these patients? Part of the answer may lie in once-weekly basal insulins. This PeerView inQuiry challenges you to examine the role of once-weekly basal insulins and how they may help to improve outcomes in patients with diabetes. Four assessment questions will keep you on your toes, and an expert will share short, authoritative explanations on the latest clinical data, rationale for use, dosing and tips and strategies for helping patients achieve glycemic targets with less frequent basal insulin injection. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Compare the efficacy, safety, administration, and dosing frequency of once-weekly with once-daily basal insulins; and Identify patients with T2DM that are not meeting individualized glycemic goals and who may benefit from basal insulin therapy, including once-weekly formulations, as they become available.

In this engaging activity, which is based on a pre-conference workshop held at OMA 2023, experts in obesity management aim to change misperceptions about obesity and explain best practices for treating this chronic condition, which include the importance of anti-obesity medications (AOMs) in achieving individualized weight goals and improving overall health outcomes by reducing the risk and progression of obesity-related comorbidities. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Initiate appropriate, unbiased, and nonjudgmental conversations with patients about obesity acknowledging it as a chronic, treatable disease rather than a result of personal irresponsibility; Compare the efficacy and safety profiles of current and emerging anti-obesity medications and their potential to support weight loss efforts and minimize the impact of obesity-related comorbidities; and Employ shared decision-making to implement a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan that incorporates appropriate use of long-term anti-obesity medications to achieve and maintain realistic weight loss in people with obesity.

An expert in hypersomnolence discusses the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia. Using real-life cases as examples, the latest data and guidelines are reviewed in juxtaposition with the patients’ stories. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe how delayed diagnosis of narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia (IH) exacerbates the multifaceted burdens associated with both conditions; Apply International Classification of Sleep Disorders criteria to assess patients who present with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) or other signs or symptoms suggesting narcolepsy or IH; and Individualize treatment of narcolepsy and IH, based on the latest clinical evidence and guidelines; patient needs, preferences, and comorbidities; and considerations that affect adherence.

Timely screenings and referrals to eye care specialists for diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME) can make a real difference between good vision and blindness in patients with diabetes. But exactly when should patients with diabetes be screened for DR/DME in the primary care setting and which signs and symptoms should trigger a referral to specialty care? In this activity, based on a recent live virtual symposium, leading experts review guideline recommendations for DR/DME screening and referral in the primary care setting and present realistic patient cases to explore best practices and improve vision outcomes for patients with diabetes. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe the roles of primary care professionals in the screening and referral process for DR/DME and other diabetic eye diseases; Coordinate timely and appropriate referral to eye care specialists who can utilize effective treatment regimens for DR/DME and other diabetic eye diseases; and Incorporate interprofessional and multidisciplinary strategies to overcome barriers to referral using an integrated system of care approach for screening, diagnosis, and treatment of vision-threatening diabetic eye complications such as DR/DME.

In this activity, an expert discusses how to utilize the American Gastroenterological Association’s Clinical Care Pathway for the risk stratification and management of patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: List the disease pathways and mechanisms that define NASH as a metabolic disease; Identify the pathophysiology and role of GLP-1 as a therapeutic target in NASH; Differentially diagnose NASH in a timely manner; Integrate current and emerging agents into early management plans for patients with NASH based on the AGA NASH Clinical Care Pathway

In this inExchange from PeerView, a multidisciplinary team of experts from oncology, endocrinology, and pathology discuss the advantages of a team-based approach to NTRK fusion testing and TRK inhibition in thyroid cancer. In this 30-minute learning opportunity, you’ll hear how endocrinologists can lead the interprofessional charge to enhance outcomes by optimizing NTRK fusion testing and TRK-targeted therapy. This presentation covers the rationale, science, and evidence, and presents actionable strategies for putting the data into practice for patients with fusion-positive thyroid cancer. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Explain the rationale for testing for NTRK fusions in patients with thyroid cancer, including their role in disease development and progression and impact on prognosis and treatment algorithms; Cite current efficacy and safety evidence on TRK-targeted therapies in patients with NTRK fusion–positive thyroid cancers; Implement practical strategies to ensure patients with thyroid cancer receive timely and appropriate NTRK fusion testing in order to inform optimal therapeutic decision-making; and Apply best practices for collaboration and coordination of care with multidisciplinary colleagues for patients with NTRK fusion–positive thyroid cancer, including appropriate integration of TRK-targeted therapies into treatment plans and recognition/management of treatment-related adverse events.
