Course Description
A team approach is very important when managing diabetes. The individual with diabetes is the center of the team and should help make decisions together with their team of caregivers. To address this important need in the healthcare environment, AACE has provided a major update to its diabetes guideline to be used by the multi-disciplinary care teams that are involved in the care and management of diabetes.
The 2022 update of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) Clinical Practice Guideline: Developing a Comprehensive Diabetes Mellitus Care Plan features updated and new evidence-based clinical practice recommendations for the care and management of diabetes. This guideline takes a person-centered, team-based approach to help improve care for people with prediabetes and diabetes. It addresses a variety of new topics, including COVID-19 vaccination, telehealth, social determinants of health, male and female infertility, posttransplant diabetes and nutritional supplements. It also provides complications-centric recommendations for the use of pharmacotherapy for the management of diabetes mellitus, and much more.
In this online learning activity, learners will be taken through these updated recommendations in the guideline that address team based approaches in diabetes care.
