Diabetes Distress: What It Is, Why It Is Important, and What To Do About It
“Overall fantastic program. Has helped give me more clarity and confidence in treating DM than any other CME so far on this topic.”
PROGRAM TOPICS
We focus on four distinct areas of the most cutting-edge diabetes management strategies:
• Patient-provider relationships with a focus on communication methods to improve adherence and persistence
• Oral agents for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and their effect on cardiovascular and renal health
• Injectable therapies, including insulin, for use in patients with type 2 diabetes and their cardiovascular and obesity impact
• Time in range, adjunctive therapies, hybrid closed loop systems and the unmet needs of type 1 diabetes
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. Discuss innovative and dynamic strategies for communication with patients to strengthen provider-patient relations.
