Threading the Needle: Practical Considerations in the Modern, Evidence-based Management of Type 2 Diabetes
This activity will assist learners in identifying optimal lifestyle and behavioral changes that can impact disease development and progression in their patients and will discuss practical strategies and forms of support that HCPs can offer to assist patients in setting healthy lifestyle goals. Learners will examine how appropriate prescribing decisions must be based on a comparative analysis of diabetes medications and will also review disease etiology and biological changes seen during disease progression. Lastly, the presenter will discuss policy and system changes that can best assist in integrating evidence into daily practice for the purpose of maximizing health in individuals with T2D.

Diabetic Kidney Disease: Improving Outcomes and Reducing Costs
This activity will present HCPs with the information necessary to evaluate kidney health in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and will discuss CKD risk stratification, including interpretation of albuminuria levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Interventions that can reduce progression of disease, likelihood of hospitalization and costs will be identified, and recent data about effective treatment regimens and their indications for improving outcomes will be examined. Additionally, early strategies to decrease the risk for CVD and ESRD in these individuals will be defined, with a review of the pathophysiology of progression of these disorders.

Genetic Testing and Treatment: Part 1, Neuromuscular Diseases
Pharmacogenomics
The goal of this activity is to assist health care professionals (HCPs) in understanding how the vast and growing field of genetic testing can impact the plan of care and treatment for individuals with neuromuscular diseases. The importance of gathering an individual’s comprehensive history and exam, along with use of current available evidence to inform decisions on next steps in evaluation and testing, will be reviewed. Additionally, faculty will discuss the important role of a genetic counselor during the decision-making process.
