Program Description
Inadequately managed diabetes leaves patients vulnerable to a host of complications that include diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Although it can be debilitatingly painful, DPN requires clinical attention even when asymptomatic or only mildly asymptomatic. Because good glycemic control can stabilize or potentially improve this condition, DPN may help motivate patient engagement in self-care for diabetes.
Intended Audience
Primary Care Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants
Educational Objectives
After taking part in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:
Describe the interrelated pathophysiologic abnormalities that contribute to progressive beta‐cell failure and to the clinical manifestations and complications of T2DM
Apply current evidence‐based guidelines and expert recommendations for modifying and advancing therapy when glycemic goals for T2DM have not been met
Identify potential barriers to effective self‐management in patients with T2DM and devise practical strategies to help address those obstacles
Devise strategies that foster better control of glycemic patterns, particularly postprandial glucose levels, in people with T2DM
