Anyone who provides care for people with (or at risk for) diabetes knows that these patients often have a myriad of comorbidities and complications, and that optimizing their care is frequently complex and challenging. It is with these challenges in mind that Harvard Medical School faculty have developed this CME program, Diabetes and Cardiometabolic Syndrome in Primary Care.
This program provides comprehensive updates, practice recommendations, and the newest evidence-based strategies for the treatment and care of the person with or at risk for diabetes. By attending, you can ensure that you are current with state-of-the-art approaches to:
Diabetes screening
Pharmacological management of diabetes, including insulin and non-insulin treatments
The latest advances in insulin delivery and glucose monitoring
Treating complications and comorbidities, including dyslipidemia, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and the diabetic foot
Lifestyle interventions
Care of elderly patients with diabetes
Treatment of obesity
Integrating emerging concepts and therapies into day-to-day practice
EDUCATION TO OPTIMIZE PATIENT CARE AND OUTCOMES

Using insulin: when to start, which insulins to choose, and how to intensify treatment
Treating people with type 2 diabetes who are not achieving their therapeutic goals
Office-based assessment and treatment of comorbidities and complications
Individualizing multifaceted approaches to lifestyle and weight management
