Understanding how and when to intensify treatment is critical in care of patients with type 2 diabetes. During this module we will discuss how the patient-centered approach can be used when intensifying antihyperglycemic medication. We will learn how to weigh patient preference, comorbidities, and side effects when considering treatment intensification. We will also discuss the importance of not delaying intensification and how to do so safely and effectively.
