Clinical Diabetes Management for Primary Care Clinicians

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

About the program:
Diabetes is a very common and serious disease. New diabetes therapies and technologies are expanding dramatically and evidence-based guidelines are continually changing, making management more challenging. Keeping current with the latest therapies and technologies for the management of diabetes and related comorbidities is difficult and time consuming.

Primary care clinicians need extensive knowledge of the natural history of diabetes and recommended treatment options, as well as the ability to teach patients how to successfully manage their disease. Given the complex and diverse nature of diabetes, education on evidence-based practice guidelines and protocols is vital to a clinician’s ability to effectively treat patients.

This program uses lectures and interactive learning activities based on the latest research and clinically proven therapies. With an emphasis on application, this comprehensive program for clinicians includes practice-based case studies. This program will give clinicians increased knowledge, skills and confidence, and provide tools to manage this complex chronic disease.

Program objectives:
Following this course, participants will be able to:
- Evaluate noninsulin diabetes therapies and identify principles for selecting, combining and advancing medications
- Initiate insulin therapy based on patient assessment and adjust insulin doses based on pattern management or using continuous glucose monitoring reports
- Develop strategies to improve adherence to diabetes self-management activities such as eating for better health and glucose monitoring
- Outline a systematic approach for managing the complications of diabetes: hypertension, dyslipidemia, renal disease, neuropathy, wound care and sexual function
- Describe diabetes management in specific circumstances such as steroid therapy, pregnancy and the elderly
- Discuss evidence-based strategies to address obesity, including diabetes prevention in adolescents
