Description
Diabetes management can be confusing, particularly in the older population. This training will start an overview of diabetes followed by a review of all classes of diabetes medications. This will lead to a review of the most up-to-date diabetes medications algorithms along with a review of the guidelines specific to older adults. There will be case studies to facilitate application of the information. This training is presented by a CRNP.
Learning Objectives Include:
- Review diagnosis and treatment of Type 2 Diabetes.
- Provide overview of diabetes medications including efficacy, hypoglycemia risk, weight change, cost, cardiovascular effects and renal effects.
- Discuss current guidelines for diabetes management of older adults.
