Diabetes Diagnosis & Management 2015
Target Audience
This continuing medical education activity should be of substantial interest to endocrinologists and endocrine fellows, pediatric endocrinologists and pediatric endocrine fellows, endocrine physician’s assistants and internal medicine physicians who treat diabetes, geriatricians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who treat patients with diabetes.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, learners will be able to:
Automating Glycemic Regulation with a Bionic Pancreas
- Review the components of an artificial pancreas and its mechanisms
- Review the advantages and disadvantages of artificial pancreas technology in practice
- Anticipate next steps for the development of artificial pancreas technology
- Evaluate the efficacy of the artificial pancreas
- Determine which patients would react beneficially with the artificial pancreas
Is it Type 1 or Type 2: When and How to Screen?
- Differentially diagnose T1D in youth and assess the familial risk of developing T1D
Cardiovascular in Type 1 Diabetes: Epidemiology and Prevention
- Evaluate clinical practice guidelines on the prevention, screening and management of comorbidities
- Identify blood pressure treatment targets and preferred pharmacologic treatment options for patients with diabetes
- Describe the changing epidemiologic features of CVD risk factors and CVD events in diabetes
- Compare the effectiveness of established CVD prevention treatments in T1DM and T2DM versus the non-diabetic at-risk population
Glycemic Variability: Does it Matter? How to Assess It? And Strategies for Management
- Describe the importance of managing glycemic variability
- Recognize the risk factors associated with glucose variability
- Evaluate the effectiveness of using emerging therapies to manage glycemic variability
Incretins and Insulin in T1 and T2 Diabetes
- Determine the benefits and best treatment options for GLP-1 analogs
Novel Therapy Highlight
- Review the effectiveness and utility of SGLT2 inhibitors and identify patients who are most appropriate for this class of medicines
- Review the effectiveness and utility of novel GLP1 agonist, and choose patients who are most appropriate for this class of medicines
- Describe the novel therapies for T2DM and the clinical impact of each
- Discuss the benefits and limitations of emerging combination therapies including inhaled insulin as adjunct treatments to meet A1c targets
CGM for the Masses
- Identify a patient who might benefit from continuous glucose monitoring
- Recognize common patterns from continuous glucose monitoring reports
- Counsel patients on the use of data from continuous glucose monitoring
- Evaluate clinical practice guidelines on diabetes and management of comorbidities and predict how these will evolve in light of new data and clinical experience
Approaches to Reducing Hypoglycemia and Hypoglycemia Unawareness
- Explain the neurological consequences of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia and recognize potential causes
Prevention and Management of Diabetic Kidney Disease
- Identify pharmacologic solutions to delay progression of nephropathy
- Recognize the adverse outcomes associated with hypoglycemia and ways to prevent hypoglycemic events with particular attention to matching the anti-hyperglycemic regimen to nutritional intake
Diabetic Neuropathy

- Effectively manage cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy in T2DM patients
Diagnosis and Management of Type 2 Diabetes in Children
- Differentially diagnose Type 2 diabetes in children
- Determine the most effect treatment strategies for managing type 2 diabetes in children
In Hospital Glycemic Control
- Employ appropriate techniques to achieve and maintain normoglycemia in in-patients
- Manage physiologic insulin replacement programs based on the individual’s needs
- Recognize the adverse outcomes associated with hypoglycemia and ways to prevent hypoglycemic events with particular attention to selection of medical therapies and matching the anti-hyperglycemic regimen to nutritional intake
- Recognize special considerations in the management of diabetes in a trauma or in-patient setting
Overlapping Treatment of Depression and Diabetes
- Utilize patient education and counseling to motivate patients and their caregivers and promote adherence
