Your T2DM patient is at the limits of using a fixed dose combination of a basal insulin and GLP-1RA. What do SA experts suggest as the next course of action?

Learning objectives

You will learn to:

  • Avoid the error of overbasalisation in significantly overweight patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease
  • Maximise the value of a motivated patient’s desire to improve their lifestyle intervention with the goal of better glycaemic control
  • Intervene appropriately when a patient is at the maximum dose of a fixed-ratio combination of basal insulin plus glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist.
