Making the Connection: Between Patients and Providers - Deep Dive Series - An Integrative Approach to the Treatment of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

Making the Connection: Between Patients and Providers - Deep Dive Series - An Integrative Approach to the Treatment of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes is organized by Taking Control of Your Diabetes (TCOYD).

Term Offering: This activity was released on 8/12/2022 and is valid for one year. Requests for credit must be made no later than 8/12/2023.

Description:
Learn about cutting-edge diabetes treatments and breakthrough clinical research that have changed the way we treat our patients with diabetes.

From effectively translating Contionuous glucose monitor (CGM) data, to finding medications that positively impact the cardiorenal system, to learning about developments in the slowing and prevention of type 1 diabetes, this is the info you need to know to efficiently and effectively treat your patients with diabetes.

Program Topics:
We focus on three distinct areas of the most cutting-edge diabetes management strategies:
• Preventing, Halting, and Reversing Type 1 Diabetes: Update in T1D research and potential novel therapies
• Efficient and Compressive type 2 diabetes management: glucose, renal, and cardiovascular health
• Rapid CGM interpretation for efficient and effective clinical visits

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of these activities, participants should be able to:
• 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.
• Discuss the recently published cardiovascular-renal outcome trials on oral (SGLT2 inhibitors) and injectable type 2 medications (GLP1-RAS).
• 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).
• Design a treatment plan for multiple daily injection regimens and insulin pump therapy including hybrid closed loop systems.
• Select effective therapeutic adjustments based on CGM trending or rate of change arrows, time in range, and standard deviation.
• Recognize the physical and emotional barriers that prevent patients with diabetes from being persistent and adherent to their therapeutic regimen(s).
• Employ innovative and dynamic strategies for communication with patients to strengthen provider-patient relations.
