Christie Schumacher PharmD, BCPS, BCACP, BCCP, BC-ADM, CDCES, FCCP, joins The Huddle to talk through the use of GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists for your people with type 2 diabetes.  You’ll learn what medications fall into the class of GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists, how they work and the benefits they can offer people with type 2 diabetes. These medications can be a useful tool in the therapeutic toolkit as highlighted in the recently updated ADA/EASD consensus statement, so this episode will offer practical considerations when initiating GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists in patients and managing possible side effects.We want to thank our sponsor, Lilly Diabetes, for their support of this episode.<br />VV-MED-128766 ©2022 Lilly USA, LLC.  All rights reservedResources:ADA and EASD Consensus Report for the Management of Hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes, 2022:  Management of Hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes, 2022.
