DC2031: Diabetes Management in Primary Care Through Telemedicine

Friday, May 15, 2020, 10:00 AM - 12:15 PM

AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (2.25 hours), Non-Physician (2.25 hours)

***REGISTRATION IS CLOSED***

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, primary care has dramatically changed with outpatient practices pivoting to telepractices to allow for appropriate and timely patient care. In the outpatient primary care setting, diabetes self-management is typically assessed by measuring HbA1C, which involves a laboratory blood draw. However lab visits for blood draws are being limited to avoid exposure to COVID-19. Such a unique and unprecedented situation necessitates use of alternative methods of assessing glucose control in diabetes. Good diabetes management also becomes critical in the ongoing pandemic situation, since diabetes is believed to increase risk of poor outcomes from COVID-19. In this web-based course we will offer tips for outpatient practices to manage individuals with type 2 diabetes using telemedicine and available continuous glucose monitoring technology.

Online via Zoom Webinar

1. Effectively provide diabetes management virtually using telemedicine.
2. Appropriately use diabetes technology to assess glycemic management without having to rely on A1C testing.
