In the Second in a New Series of Videos, Dr Sarah Davies and Dr Kevin Fernando Discuss the Updated ADA/EASD Consensus Report
Theory in Practice (TIPs) videos are a new series of interviews in which Dr Kevin Fernando consults healthcare professionals about topical issues in primary care, asking two questions and agreeing two key take-home messages.
Key: ADA=American Diabetes Association; EASD=European Association for the Study of Diabetes; HbA1c=glycated haemoglobin; SGLT-2=sodium–glucose co-transporter-2; GLP-1=glucagon-like peptide-1
In this TIPs video, Dr Kevin Fernando interviews Dr Sarah Davies about the updated ADA/EASD consensus report, asking two questions:
- there’s a real emphasis on weight management in the update—how will this drive a change in your practice?
- the update advocates use of early combination therapy for certain patients—is this something you will put into practice?
