For years, type 2 diabetes management in Australia has centred around treating to glycaemic targets, particularly HbA1c - a reactive approach that often waited for failure before adjusting treatment. But the paradigm has shifted with recent changes to the PBS. We're now embracing a ‘treat to prevent’ model, focusing on early interventions to prevent cardiovascular and kidney complications in appropriate patients before they occur. In this MEDTalk - a fast-paced, short-format style presentation - our four clinical experts will unpack current implications of this approach in primary care, including recent PBS updates on access to key type 2 diabetes medications. Join us to gain important insights and practical strategies for delivering patient-centred care that looks beyond HbA1c.
