Abstract
How can the potential of personalized diabetes management and digital tools be mobilized to serve patients, health care professionals and the care process and facilitate improved outcomes? How can we address clinical inertia – the failure to reach individualized therapeutic goals in a timely manner -for people with type 2 diabetes? We think we have found a clue to these questions in the results of our PDM-ProValue study program, which investigated the potential benefit of integrated personalized diabetes management (iPDM) for the treatment of patients with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes.
iPDM is an interventional approach consisting of a structured, 6-step process which integrates digital tools and, by its set up, intends to bring together physicians and patients for collaborative, therapeutic decision-making. Basically, the process allows to agree upon personalized diagnostics and treatment schemes which are closely documented, assessed and monitored in an iterative way.
In this co-creation session we want to mutually explore new approaches that could leverage personalized diabetes management in daily clinical routine.

SYMPOSIUM LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Through attending this type 2 diabetes case-based session, you should be able to:
- Understand the emotional barriers to initiating insulin therapy
- Address patient concerns to help overcome emotional barriers and encourage insulin
acceptance and adherence - Optimise discussions around hypoglycaemia, particularly with individuals who
are reluctant to start insulin - Understand key steps that ensure a positive start on insulin therapy

NOVO NORDISK AFTERNOON SATELLITE SYMPOSIUM
SYMPOSIUM FORMAT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This aim of this educational initiative is to educate the primary care physicians on the risks of hypoglycemia to the type 2 diabetes patient as well as present how the results of recent clinical trials demonstrate the cardiovascular benefits of long-acting insulin therapy. Recent studies clearly show a significant relationship between day-to-day fasting glucose excursions and glycemic variability, severe hypoglycemia, and all-cause mortality. With this information, the primary care physicians will be better able to identify at-risk patients and provide appropriate, evidence-based treatment upon the conclusion of this educational activity.
The following key topics will be covered in the symposium presentations:
- Hypoglyaemia etiology and risk in type 2 diabetes
- The impact of hypoglycaemia on patient outcomes and functioning
- Evidence for decreased cardiovascular risk with newer diabetes therapies
- Insulin therapy and glyacemic variability
- Combined insulin and GLP-1 RA therapy
In specific, the symposium will strive to address the following learning objectives:
- Discuss the CV benefits associated with new type 2 diabetes (T2D) drugs and insulin formulations, including new injectable therapy options (insulin + glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists [GLP-1 RAs])
- Understand current evidence on the association between glycaemic variability, hypoglycaemia, and CV risk
- Identify patients at risk and ensure that appropriate treatment plan changes are put in place
