Forward9th Annual Diabetes Management Conference (RP1611B)
Diabetes remains a national and global health priority, requiring solutions at individual, population health and health system levels. With over 30 million Americans diagnosed with diabetes and over 90 million Americans with pre-diabetes, innovative and targeted solutions to preventive and clinical care and diabetes self-management education is critical. Successful diabetes management is not only about controlling glucose and other cardiovascular risk factors, but also system-wide approaches for effectively managing individual and population health outcomes of this ever-increasing diabetes disease epidemic. Diabetes requires multidisciplinary intervention, demanding multidisciplinary health care providers to stay abreast of best practices in the management of diabetes and its associated complications.
This Ninth Annual Diabetes Management Conference will address areas of clinical relevance including cardiovascular outcomes trails, pharmacologic approaches to diabetes treatment, inpatient management strategies, patient engagement and reaching strategies, transitions in care, successful supermarket navigation and the connections of health systems and patients to available community resources.
Target Audience
The conference is designed for physicians, pharmacists, nurses, dietitians, social workers and diabetes educators.
