POSTPONED --- Delaying Progression of Diabetes From Lifestyle Management Strategies to Using Technology for Continuous Glucose Monitoring and Insulin Pump Therapy

Delaying progression of diabetes is an important part of managing this chronic disease for improving patient outcomes.

This webinar starts with reviewing the prevalence and risk factors for diabetes and exploring lifestyle strategies to manage diabetes to reduce need for medical management.

Then, advances in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and insulin pump therapy and how they can change diabetes management from a reactive approach to a predictive approach of care are examined. These tools allow for more timely treatment decisions.

This live CEU webinar will provide insight on lifestyle management strategies and available continuous glucose monitoring and insulin pump therapies in order to assist patients and their practitioners to recognize opportunities to improve glucose management
