Breaking through the complexity of managing type 2 diabetes – Case study 3

Learning objectives:

• An approach to treatment intensification in the patient with T2DM and a suboptimal response to multiple oral and injectable glycaemic-lowering therapies
• The importance of setting appropriate treatment targets and of routine screening for diabetes-related comorbidities
• An understanding of the synergistic mechanisms of action of shorter-acting GLP-1 RAs and basal insulin when used in combination
• The rationale behind fixed-ratio combinations, such as iGlarLixi, and the appropriate administration of these agents
