Attendees will have an opportunity to interact with leaders in the field and participate in detailed question and answer sessions with the experts. For insulin-requiring patients with diabetes (especially type 1), there will be multiple plenaries on emerging diabetes technologies including: CGMs, pumps, hybrid-closed loop systems. Since hypoglycemia is a major concern for these patients, alternate ways to deliver insulin (inhaled and newer preparations of glucagon like: nasal or stable) will be discussed. Cardiovascular disease is commonly associated with long-standing diabetes (especially type 2 diabetes), emerging therapies like SGLT2 inhibitors, weekly GLP-1 analogs, and other dual-action GLP/GIP analogs will be discussed regarding their role in individualizing their role in type 2 diabetes.
