Your patients with type 2 diabetes treated with insulin should monitor their blood glucose, but how often? How do you support their monitoring efforts and troubleshoot problems? How do you interpret the results? Is there a meaningful pattern? Which results do you use to adjust your patients’ insulin regimens when they are not at A1C goal or are experiencing highs or lows?
This symposium for primary care providers, who treat most people with type 2 diabetes, will teach you how to implement monitoring programs and interpret glycemic patterns to improve insulin treatment design and management in your practice. The goal is to help you better tailor insulin therapy to each patient’s individual needs, comorbidities, and self-care abilities to achieve improved glycemic control as reflected by glucose levels and A1C.
After completing this live activity, access follow-up patient visits for the case vignettes as well as a series of additional Rapid Pattern Review exercises through the Insulin Therapy Clinical Center on JPEC, the Joslin Professional Education Continuum, to further develop your skill in managing insulin treatment regimens for your patients.
Content for this activity assumes a good prerequisite knowledge of the basics of insulin treatment. If you would like to brush up on insulin treatment beforehand, please read the e-monograph Treating Diabetes with Insulin: Individualizing Therapy at http://www.joslin.org/cmeweb/CME_Mono_1892.aspx |
