Learn of Updates in the Management of Prediabetes and Type II Diabetes

OSUWexnerbloglogo2014 Learn of Updates in the Management of Prediabetes and and Type II Diabetes. Learn of Updates in the Management of Prediabetes and and Type II Diabetes. The International Diabetes Federation estimates there are 537 million individuals with diabetes worldwide. And that’s not even counting the patients that go undiagnosed. In the US, we estimate that 1/3 of eligible patients are not screened. Even with screening, there’s a gigantic gap in prediabetes diagnosis and treatment. Those in Primary care are really at the forefront of diabetes & prediabetes care. With 11% of the adult population affected by Diabetes, every healthcare worker must become comfortable with the care and treatment of these patients. So today to help Dr. Mao discuss the updates in the prevention and treatment of diabetes, we’ve invited her colleague Jennifer Sabatino who is a Doctor of Pharmacy and practicing Clinical Pharmacist at Ohio State University. They will cover the basics and updates over the past half a decade or so including both non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic treatment options.
