PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This activity is designed to update clinicians on the appropriate use of insulin to optimize therapy in patients with diabetes. The efficacy and safety of newer therapies will be discussed as well as the proper timing of insulin therapy initiation. As part of the activity, the faculty will review treatment guidelines and make practical suggestions on how to overcome barriers to insulin therapy.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
After completing this activity, clinicians should be better able to:Articulate clinical strategies for the timely initiation and modification, and intensification of insulin therapy to achieve glycemic controlCompare clinical data on new insulin formulations and combination insulin/incretin therapies, including pharmacological profiles surrounding efficacy and safety, such as effects on hypoglycemia and nocturnal hypoglycemia and weight gainExplain novel strategies to optimize insulin therapy in clinical practice to improve glucose control, reduce risk of weight gain and hypoglycemia, and increase patient acceptance and adherenceUtilize a collaborative team-based approach to patient care that safely appropriately and effectively transition patients to concentrated insulin and insulin combinations
