Ryan Haumschild, PharmD, MBA, MS; Sandeep Sahay, MD, FCCP; Murali Chakinala, MD, FCCP, and Marius M. Hoeper, MD, discuss how pulmonary arterial hypertension management has evolved with new therapeutic pathways like sotatercept offering reverse remodeling capabilities, requiring individualized treatment approaches that balance disease severity, patient preferences, and economic considerations while emphasizing early diagnosis and aggressive upfront combination therapy to achieve disease remission and reduce long-term healthcare costs.

This program explores how Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) technology addresses therapeutic inertia, enhances glycemic control, and its role in quality metrics. Panelists examine the evidence to support expanding CGM access to broader diabetes populations in alignment with the 2025 ADA Standards of Care. The program will focus on overcoming barriers to CGM adoption and improving access in diverse patient populations, addressing racial and ethnic disparities. Additionally, this program will evaluate CGM’s impact on reducing healthcare resource utilization and cost management strategies to improve patient outcomes.
