One-third of adults in the United States are considered obese, having a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m², according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Serious health concerns associated with obesity include increased risk for hypertension, stroke, coronary heart disease, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes (T2DM), depression, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, infertility, as well as cancers of the colon, breast, and endometrium. A BMI of ≥ 35 kg/m², increased waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio are predictors of increased risk for mortality. Particular challenges exist in the management of the obese patient with T2DM. Staying current with evidence-based recommendations for treatment, including knowledge of the safety and efficacy of emerging therapeutic options, is vital to healthcare practitioners as they work with patients to develop optimal, individualized, long-term strategies for overcoming obesity. This CME program will feature an interactive, audience driven case-based approach to address the association between obesity and T2DM, overcoming barriers to determine the appropriate strategy for managing overweight patients with diabetes, and safety, efficacy, and the appropriate use of newly approved medications to treat obesity.</li> <li class="sponsor">This activity is supported by an educational grant from Vivus.</li> </ul> <script type="text/javascript"> </script> <div class="cme-tab-group"> <ul id="layout_0_maincontent_1_ctl00_tabs" class="cme-tabs"><li><a class="current" href="javascript:void(0)">CME Information</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130920185639/http://www.healio.com/endocrinology/education-lab/2013/08_august/beyond-the-basics-addressing-obesity-in-your-patients-with-type-2-diabetes/pretest">Pretest</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130920185639/http://www.healio.com/endocrinology/education-lab/2013/08_august/beyond-the-basics-addressing-obesity-in-your-patients-with-type-2-diabetes/defronzo-presentation">Dr. DeFronzo's Presentation</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130920185639/http://www.healio.com/endocrinology/education-lab/2013/08_august/beyond-the-basics-addressing-obesity-in-your-patients-with-type-2-diabetes/smith-presentation">Dr. Smith's Presentation</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130920185639/http://www.healio.com/endocrinology/education-lab/2013/08_august/beyond-the-basics-addressing-obesity-in-your-patients-with-type-2-diabetes/klein-presentation">Dr. Klein's Presentation</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130920185639/http://www.healio.com/endocrinology/education-lab/2013/08_august/beyond-the-basics-addressing-obesity-in-your-patients-with-type-2-diabetes/case-choice">Case Choice</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130920185639/http://www.healio.com/endocrinology/education-lab/2013/08_august/beyond-the-basics-addressing-obesity-in-your-patients-with-type-2-diabetes/educational-tools">Educational Tools</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130920185639/http://www.healio.com/endocrinology/education-lab/2013/08_august/beyond-the-basics-addressing-obesity-in-your-patients-with-type-2-diabetes/posttest">Posttest</a></li> <li><a class="disabled" href="javascript:void(0)">Evaluation</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="top-btnbox"><div class="earn-cme-btn"><a href="/web/20130920185639/http://www.healio.com/endocrinology/education-lab/2013/08_august/beyond-the-basics-addressing-obesity-in-your-patients-with-type-2-diabetes/posttest"></a></div><span class="login-note">You must be logged in to Healio.com to see this activity.</span><input type="submit" name="layout_0$maincontent_2$ctl10" value="" class="btnNext" align="right" style="margin:1px 0;"/></div> <a name="content"></a><div class="content"><p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Sponsorship Statement:</span></strong> This continuing medical education activity is sponsored by <img width="77" height="19" src="/web/20130920185639im_/http://www.healio.com/~/media/Images/Education Lab/Provider Logos/VindicoLogo4web.gif" alt="Vindico Medical Education"/>.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Support Statement:</span></strong> This activity is supported by an educational grant from <img alt="" width="77" height="50" src="/web/20130920185639im_/http://www.healio.com/~/media/Images/Education Lab/Provider Logos/Vivus.jpg"/>.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Target Audience</span></strong>: The intended audience for this activity is endocrinologists, diabetologists, certified diabetes educators, cardiologists, internal medicine physicians and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of obese patients.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Learning Objectives: </span></strong> At the conclusion of this activity participants should be able to:</p> <ul> <li>Select patients for weight loss interventions based upon evidence-based criteria for defining and treating obesity.</li> <li>Incorporate effective treatment strategies for obese patients with multiple comorbidities.</li> <li>Define the physiological systems of signaling involved in controlling food intake and assess how they can be targeted through weight controlling drugs.</li> <li>Evaluate the safety and efficacy profiles of current and emerging anti-obesity medications to better select agents that improve adherence while enhancing weight loss. </li> </ul> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Course Chair: </span></strong><br/> <strong>Robert H.
