OVERVIEW

Learn about cutting-edge diabetes treatments and breakthrough clinical research that have changed the way we treat our patients with diabetes!
There have been game-changing developments treating patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and we’re taking a deep dive into topics that should be every practitioner’s standard of care. From effectively translating continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data, to finding medications that positively impact the cardiorenal system, to learning about developments in the slowing and prevention of type 1, this is the info you need to know to efficiently and effectively treat your patients with diabetes.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This course is designed for diabetes healthcare providers including endocrinologists, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, certified diabetes educators, pharmacists, registered dietitians, and other healthcare providers wanting to expand their knowledge of diabetes management.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of these activities, participants should be able to:

1. Identify the different pathophysiologic defects associated with type 2 diabetes and how all the pharmacologic agents (oral and injectable) address these specific abnormalities including patients with very poor glycemic control and elevated insulin requirements.
2. Discuss the recently published cardiovascular-renal outcome trials on oral (SGLT2 inhibitors) and injectable type 2 medications (GLP1-RAS).
3. Evaluate the use of SGLT-2 and GLP-1 RA in patients who have cardiovascular risks factors and are at risk or have a history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
4. Design a treatment plan for multiple daily injection regimens and insulin pump therapy including hybrid closed loop systems.
5. Select effective therapeutic adjustments based on CGM trending or rate of change arrows, time in range, and standard deviation.
6. Recognize the physical and emotional barriers that prevent patients with diabetes from being persistent and adherent to their therapeutic regimen(s).
7. Employ innovative and dynamic strategies for communication with patients to strengthen provider-patient relations.
