6) Welcome back to our accredited tweetorial! Re a1c: @TheAACE recommends a target Hba1c of 6.5% for most pts with DM while @AmDiabetesAssn recommends 7%. Both orgs rec personalizing goals based on comorbidities and risk for hypoglycemia . . .

8) Now re metformin: Both @TheAACE and @AmDiabetesAssn recommend initiating either a GLP-1 RA or an SGLT-2i for patients with ASCVD regardless of HbA1c. Either can be used as monotherapy and should be initiated promptly in this patient to reduce the risk for CVD . . .

22) Welcome back to our accredited tweetorial! The correct answer is a. Liraglutide and semaglutide are both indicated to reduce risk of MACE in pts with DM2 and established CVD. Dulaglutide is indicated to reduce the risk of MACE in patients with T2DM and established CVD . . .
