Led by two endocrinologists who are living with diabetes themselves, and a faculty of experts in the diabetes field, this unique online program will provide real case studies, candid patient testimonials, and cutting-edge strategies to help you help your patients with diabetes reach their treatment goals. Get access to impactful research and practical steps you can implement into your practice to open two-way communication with your patients with diabetes and improve outcomes.

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. Discuss innovative and dynamic strategies for communication with patients to strengthen provider-patient relations.
