DPP4's in 2026: Clinical Evidence and Practical Application
Nov 6, 2026

DFMH Conference Hall
Description
This continuing medical education activity will review the current clinical evidence and practical application of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It will explore their mechanism of action, glycaemic efficacy, safety profile, and place in contemporary diabetes treatment guidelines. The session will focus on patient selection, individualised treatment decisions, combination therapy, renal function considerations, potential adverse effects, and drug interactions. It will also compare DPP-4 inhibitors with other glucose-lowering agents, including SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists, highlighting their respective advantages and limitations. Participants will apply evidence-based recommendations to clinical scenarios to optimise glycaemic control, minimise treatment-related risks, and improve patient outcomes.
