The drug-device combination is a dry formulation of human insulin delivered through a small inhaler that is administered at the start of a meal. Join our symposium to learn more! 6:45 p.m. - 9:15 p.m. 6:45 p.m. – 7:15 p.m. – Registration and Dinner 7:15 p.m. – 9:15 p.m. – CME-certified Activity Avoiding “Loss of Chance”….Improving the Screening, Treatment and Referral of Patients with Diabetic Retinopathy Provided by Vindico Medical Education Supported by an educational grant from Genentech, Inc. Contact: Emily Scully Phone: 856-994-9400 Email: [email protected] Location: Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel, Pacific Grand Ballroom Despite a number of effective treatment options, diabetic eye disease is a leading cause of vision loss in the United States, in part because many patients are not identified as needing therapy. In addition to counseling patients on the impact glucose control have on maintaining vision, clinicians should emphasize the need for vision screening among patients with diabetes. Early detection offers the best long-term visual outcomes, and is even more important with a new treatment approved for the management of diabetic retinopathy and another being considered. In this activity, leading endocrinologists and retina specialists will discuss preventive measures that clinicians can take to delay or prevent vision loss in patients with diabetes and review the latest data on treatment options for patients with diabetic eye disease. Updated 4/16/15 (for website) 7:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. 7:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. – Registration and Buffet Dinner 7:30 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. – Activity The Evolution of Insulin: Applying the Fundamentals of Insulin Physiology to Build a Better Insulin Sponsored by Creative Educational Concepts, Inc. Supported by an educational grant from Lilly Contact: Ashley C. Lilly Phone: 859-260-1717 x117 Location: Boston Marriott Copley Place, Grand Ballroom G-K The goal of this activity is to explore key differences between exogenous insulin administration and normal endogenous insulin physiology to better understand the limitations of current insulin preparations and the need to “build a better insulin.” Expert faculty will examine the metabolic abnormalities and adverse effects associated with exogenous insulin administration resulting from overinsulinization of the peripheral tissues and loss of the normal hepatic to peripheral insulin gradient. Attendees will gain an appreciation of the “evolution” of insulin preparations from discovery to their future in modern medicine. MONDAY, JUNE 8, 2015: 5:30 a.m. - 7:45 a.m. 5:30 AM – 6:15 AM – Breakfast 6:15 AM – 7:45 AM – Presentation Reducing Residual CVD Risk: Shifting the Cholesterol Conversation Beyond Statin Therapy Sponsored by Creative Educational Concepts, Inc. Supported by an educational grant from Lilly Contact: Rebecca Weaver Phone: 859-260-1717 Location: Boston Marriott Copley Place, Grand Ballroom G-K The goal of this interactive activity is to explore the controversies surrounding the new ACC/AHA cholesterol guidelines; examine the evidence and rationale for using non-statin therapies to reach target lipid goals; determine the role and practical impact of CETP inhibition in lipid disorders; and discuss recent clinical trial data with CETP inhibitors currently in development. Attendees will gain an appreciation of the need to “shift the cholesterol conversation” beyond statin therapy in order to reduce residual cardiovascular risk for appropriate patients. 6:45 p.m. – 9:15 p.m. 6:45 p.m. – 7:15 p.m. – Registration and Dinner 7:15 p.m. – 9:15 p.m. – CME-certified Activity Combining Therapeutic Advances with Patient Engagement to Optimize Treatment for Patients with Obesity Provided by Vindico Medical Education Updated 4/16/15 (for website) Supported by an educational grant from Novo Nordisk Contact: Emily Scully Phone: 856-994-9400 Email: [email protected] Location: Westin Boston Waterfront, Harbor Ballroom Management of obesity is complex, factoring in psychological, environmental, and physiologic causes. In addition, various medical societies have issued recommendations to guide the use of available treatments for obesity. Obesity is a particularly challenging condition in terms of motivating patients to adhere to behavioral and pharmacologic regimens that in many cases require a lifetime commitment. In the last few years, there has been considerable development in pharmacologic options for managing obesity, requiring clinicians to have a thorough understanding of the efficacy and risks associated with each agent in order to help patients determine the most appropriate medication. In this highly interactive program, leading specialists will summarize the latest guidelines for the management of obesity, discuss how to encourage adherence among patients and review all pharmacologic options for the management of obesity in case presentations that allow learners to manage patients along with the panel. 6:45 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. 6:45 p.m. – 7:15 p.m. – Registration and Dinner 7:15 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. – Symposium Cardiovascular Outcomes Associated with Antihyperglycemic Agents: New Data, Clinical Application, and Key Takeaways for Your Type 2 Diabetes Practice Sponsored by Medscape Education Supported by an educational grant from Merck Contact: Kelly Hanley Phone: 973-670-1861 Location: Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel, Pacific Grand Ballroom This live event will address the following learning objectives: • Identify the rationale for cardiovascular (CV) outcomes trials in patients with type 2 diabetes • Review clinical data related to antihyperglycemic agents and CV outcomes • Assess clinical and practical implications of CV outcomes with antihyperglycemic agents trials Updated 4/16/15 (for website)
