MAKING THE CONNECTION
DEEP DIVE SERIES:
Successful Approaches to the Patient with Diabetes and Very Poor Glycemic Control
An Online Continuing Medical Education Activity
NOVEMBER 18, 2021 | 4:00PM PT
The percent of patients with diabetes at glycemic and metabolic goals is extremely low despite over 50 diabetes medications being approved by the FDA in the past decade. Access, financial stressors, patient misperceptions, lack of sense of urgency, and poor adherence are all reasons that limit success for so many of our patients. We’ve got an awesome faculty that are experienced in this area of medicine to take a deep dive into the topics that most affect our practices.
This is a 1.5-hour VIRTUAL interactive program, please see the full accreditation information here.
