Although practitioners know poor glycemic control puts their patients at increased risk for developing diabetes complications, many delay insulin therapy. This program has been developed to aid family practice clinicians, who are at the frontline of care for these individuals. It will examine the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) data of newer basal insulin analogs as compared to older insulins. In addition, our faculty will review clinical data on combinations of basal insulin with rapid-acting insulin and GLP-1 receptor agonists and provide updates on newer follow-on insulin therapies. The ultimate goal is to provide clinicians with the skills to provide patient-centered care in order to individualize therapy and improve patient satisfaction, adherence and quality of life (QOL).
This educational initiative has been designed for family practice and primary care providers (PCPs) involved in the management of patients with diabetes.
