Updates, Guidance, and Best Practices for Patients with Diabetes

Those of you who provide care for people with (or at risk of) diabetes know that these patients often have a myriad of comorbidities and complications, and that optimizing their care is frequently complex and challenging. It is with these challenges in mind that Harvard Medical School faculty have developed this CME program, Diabetes and Its Complications.

This program provides comprehensive updates, practice recommendations, and the newest evidence-based strategies for the treatment and care of the person with or at risk for diabetes. You will receive a comprehensive education including practical information to optimize patient care now. We will address the following:

  • Diabetes screening
  • Pharmacological management of diabetes, including insulin and non-insulin treatments
  • The latest advances in insulin delivery and glucose monitoring
  • Treating complications and comorbidities, including dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, peripheral vascular disease, cardiovascular disease, the diabetic foot, kidney disease, liver disease
  • Lifestyle interventions
  • Care of older patients with diabetes
  • Incorporating recent advances into your practice
  • Challenging cases

This program delivers practical updates to improve the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with diabetes.

* Date of Release: October 24-26, 2024 in Boston, United States

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the completion of this course, you should be able to:

  • Describe the pathophysiology of type 1 and of type 2 diabetes, how it is related to the development/progression of key diabetes comorbidities, and how knowledge of pathophysiology drives prevention and treatment.
  • Identify ways to improve skills and office-based care systems to optimize lifestyle interventions in the treatment of diabetes, obesity, and related conditions.
  • Describe the implications and impact of the latest evidence-based expert treatment guidelines for lifestyle, pharmacologic, and technologic treatments of diabetes and its comorbidities.
  • Recognize how the evolving clinical implications of cardiovascular and renal outcomes trials of antidiabetes medications can be effectively applied to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of these comorbidities of diabetes.
  • Apply the latest preventive, diagnostic, and treatment approaches to the care of the various disease and treatment-related comorbidities of diabetes impacting eyes, nerves, peripheral vascular and foot, liver, bone, and issues with hypoglycemia, and in special populations of people with diabetes such as the elderly, pregnant women, and hospitalized individuals.
  • Identify and overcome clinical practice barriers emanating from patients, providers, and practice systems issues.
  • Communicate with people with diabetes, families, and health team members in a responsive manner that supports a team approach to the promotion and maintenance of health, as well as prevention and treatment of disease in individuals with diabetes.
