This course is designed to help healthcare providers caring for patients with diabetes, including but not limited to, endocrinologists/diabetes specialists, internists, pediatricians, family physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, dietitians, medical students, residents, fellows and certified diabetes educators. We will emphasize the challenges of diabetes management issues in children and adults and provide various perspectives of practical ways to overcome those issues in day-to-day life. The discussions will also focus on diabetes and cardiovascular outcome studies and the role of GLP and DPP IV in type 2 diabetes. The participants will have an opportunity to meet their peers (MDs/CDEs) and have case discussions during concurrent sessions. For type 1 diabetes, there will be a special session on glucose variability, exercise and dietary issues. In addition, the deliberations will also include upcoming trends in diabetes treatment and the role of the physicians, insurance issues, public policy and complications. Furthermore, the future of diabetes management with new basal, prandial insulins and possible cure with islet cell transplants will be discussed. Hands-on experience with continuous glucose monitoring and/or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion workshops (half day) will be offered during the four-day conference.
