Type 2 diabetes care has moved well beyond glucose control alone. Cardiovascular and kidney risk now shape nearly every treatment decision, and most of these patients are first seen and followed up in routine clinical practice. Choosing the right therapy for the right patient is therefore a core skill for every treating physician.

In this case-based session, Dr. Aravind S R and Dr. J J Mukherjee share practical, real-world approaches to T2DM care. The first case takes a cardiocentric approach, covering how to assess cardiovascular risk and select therapy accordingly. The second case focuses on diabetic kidney disease: recognising it early, protecting kidney function, and tailoring glucose-lowering treatment as the disease progresses. The session closes with an open Q&A with both speakers.
