10th Annual Diabetes Management Conference (RP1711B)

Dallas, TX US
November 10, 2017

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. It is estimated that the number of Texans with diabetes will quadruple by 2040, with a disproportionately higher percentage in the Dallas County region.

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, both within systems and across systems of care. 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 Tenth Annual Diabetes Management Conference will address areas of clinical relevance including nephropathy screening and management, pharmacologic approaches to diabetes treatment, medication adherence, diabetes technologies, nutrition updates, diabetes in pregnancy, and motivational interviewing to optimize the healthcare team-patient relationship.
 

Target Audience

The conference is designed for physicians, pharmacists, nurses, dietitians, social workers and diabetes educators.
