An overview of the GLP1-RA class for the treatment of type 2 diabetes

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have revolutionised the field of diabetes management. Spectacularly effective at lowering blood sugar levels, they are fast becoming the standard of care for diabetics and it is essential for GPs and specialists to understand this drug class. The webinar will be presented by Dr Zane Stevens, noted endocrinologist in private practice at Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital.

This webinar is for GPs, physicians and specialists only.
