Course Description

There has been a persistent gap between advances for diabetes treatment and some patient-related outcomes we see in day-to-day practice. This course provides the required knowledge and strategies to help close this gap, including:

State-of-the-art treatment strategies based on the underlying pathophysiologic defects in diabetes and patients’ characteristics
Practical recommendations to improve nutrition and physical activity among patients based on current guidelines
Updates on recent and controversial data related to some anti-diabetes medications
Understanding of the connection between diabetes and cardiovascular/renal complications and how to tackle these complications
Best practices to assess and improve low engagement in therapy
Advances in devices and technology to treat diabetes

This program also provides comprehensive education to optimize care for special populations:

Racial/ethnic minorities
The elderly
Patients at low socio-economic levels
Patients with low health literacy/education

Participants will leave this program with the confidence to provide practical, non-pharmacological and pharmacological recommendations, including appropriate counseling and education that guides and supports behavioral changes, to a wide range of patients with diabetes, considering biological, psychological, social, financial, and cultural factors.
