1. Review the role of the kidney in blood glucose regulation in type 2 diabetes mellitus
2. Validate the rationale for SGLT2 inhibitor therapy based on its unique glycosuria-based mechanism of action
3. Determine the appropriate use of SGLT2 therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes that are otherwise healthy or exhibit higher blood glucose concentration
4. Integrate emerging evidence on novel SGLT2 inhibitors into the treatment paradigm for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Purpose
The goal for this program is to begin to close educational and practice gaps by providing clinicians with the latest clinical evidence on the appropriate use of SGLT2 inhibitors, as well as benefits and risks to optimize glycemic control throughout type 2 diabetes mellitus care continuum.
