The coexistence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) nearly doubles the mortality rate in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes, who often face earlier and more severe complications. As frontline clinicians, GPs play a pivotal role – cardiovascular risk assessment isn’t just important; it’s lifesaving.

In this episode, we cover the key questions: Who’s being overlooked? Who stands to benefit the most? Who is best positioned to intervene? How frequently should assessments happen? What needs to change in practice? And most crucially, how do we effectively communicate the importance of these assessments to our patients?

Join us as we unpack practical strategies to integrate CVD risk evaluation into your consultations, both opportunistically and through scheduled health checks, to make a real difference in outcomes for your patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
