Diabetes and Its Complications

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
