Goal: To determine whether a 2024 CE initiative had a positive impact on the number of patients who receive a timely diagnosis/screening and treatment plan for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)Methods: Med Learning Group (MLG) conducted 218 CE activities in 2024 as part of an educational initiative supported by an independent educational grant from Sanofi. The DETECT T1D educational initiative focused on the use of early screening protocols and utilizing screening results to guide treatment approaches. Learners in each activity completed pre-/post-tests to determine changes in learners’ knowledge and competence. MLG will work with IQVIA on an analysis of claims data from pre- and post-education to identify changes in the use of recommended screening protocols among learners compared to a carefully matched control group. Control match criteria will include geography, specialty, and screening behavior. Results will be available in advance of ENDO. Results: Learners achieved gains in the recognition of the clinical presentations of T1D (46%), identification of antibody screening strategies for T1D (47%), and knowledge of the efficacy and safety of new and emerging treatments (46%) based on pre-/post-test questions (N=4804). Learners also demonstrated a 43% and 63% improvement respectively in ability to interpret results from screening protocols and to implement strategies for clinical monitoring and early screening of at-risk individuals. Results from the IQVIA claims data will demonstrate whether the education increased the screening of patients for T1D. Conclusion: Learners enhanced their knowledge and competence concerning the timely diagnosis/screening and management of T1D. Claims data will demonstrate whether the education changed practice behavior. Presentation: Saturday, July 12, 2025
