Clinical Diabetes
Technology Meeting
Educational Objectives
Following this
course, participants should be able to:
-
Evaluate the
performance of diabetes technologies and identify principles for
selecting, combining, and advancing therapy using technology.
-
Explain how to
motivate patients to use the latest diabetes technologies to
improve outcomes.
-
Assess the
utility of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) methods in
improving management of difficult-to-treat patients.
-
Assess the
utility of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in improving
management of difficult-to-treat patients.
-
Assess the
utility of insulin pump therapy and insulin dose calculators in
improving management of difficult-to-treat patients.
-
Enhance
strategies to use technology to increase the effectiveness of
lifestyle interventions, such as food plans, weight management,
and physical activity for diabetes management.
-
Initiate insulin
therapy and adjust insulin doses based on glycemic pattern
recognition.
-
Recognize
clinical situations where SMBG, CGM, or insulin pump therapy can
improve outcomes and well-being for diabetes patients.
-
Outline a
systematic approach using technology for managing diabetes,
diabetes complications, and complex medication regimens.
-
Understand the
scientific and engineering principles that support SMBG, CGM,
and insulin pumps.
-
Modify diabetes
management for special populations, such as senior, pediatric,
and pregnant patients using advanced diabetes technologies.
-
Summarize new
technologies that may be available in the next 5 years for
management of hyperglycemia.
