Thyroid Eye Disease: Multidisciplinary Management of Treatment-Associated Hyperglycemia (CE Monograph)

Activity Description and Purpose

This educational activity is intended to help clinicians identify patients with thyroid eye disease (TED) who require intervention for elevated blood glucose levels prior to treatment for TED with the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor antagonist teprotumumab. Clinicians will also learn to apply evidence to manage patients who require intervention for glycemic control during treatment for TED with teprotumumab. The desired results of this activity are for eye care professionals to use a multidisciplinary approach to increase their ability to identify and manage hyperglycemia in patients who require treatment of TED.

Target Audience

This educational activity is intended for optometrists.

Learning Objectives

After completing this activity, participants will be better able to:

  • Identify patients with thyroid eye disease who require intervention for elevated blood glucose prior to treatment
