2nd Annual Midwest Metabolic Clinical Symposium

The conference sessions will focus on current and emerging best practices for the management of obesity, diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular disease:

- Rising incidence and prevalence of Obesity and T2DM
- Parallel increase in prevalence of NAFLD; up to 40% of the US population affected
- Introducing current and new treatment strategies to address these multiple overlapping disorders (with common pathogenic mechanisms)
- Pediatric Metabolic Diseases
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
- Impact of metabolic disorders on Renal outcomes
- Impact of metabolic diseases on COVID outcomes

These conditions are seen by all physicians and are often not captured or under-diagnosed. Our aim is to bring attention to these common disorders and need for early identification of those at highest risk.

1. Summarize the interactions of metabolic disorders with various organ systems including the kidneys, lung, heart, brain, ovaries, liver, skin
2. Discuss Weight Loss Strategies (medication, endoscopy, surgery)
3. Review new medications for T2DM including GLP1 agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, and DPP4 inhibitor
4. Recognize the impact of the Metabolic syndrome in the Pediatric population
5. List metabolic risk factors
6. Identify complications of the metabolic syndrome
