EDUCATION to MEET THE CHALLENGES of DIABETES CARE

At a time when our diabetes knowledge and treatment options have advanced so much, why do clinical outcomes remain suboptimal, with so many patients unable to achieve good control of their disease?

The answer is rooted in four challenges:

• Keeping pace with rapidly advancing clinical options for diabetes care:
  
  • Therapies
  • Technologies
  • Lifestyle medicine interventions
• Designing comprehensive therapeutic interventions based on frequent diabetes-associated diseases and complications
• Accounting for a patient’s unique biological, psychological, social, financial, educational, and cultural factors
• Overcoming structural health care barriers that require clinical strategies to fit within a particular mold

This course is designed to equip clinicians to meet these challenges, providing practical, evidence-based approaches to optimize care for your patients.
