Program Description
Pharmacists, Pharmacy technicians, and student pharmacists.
Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are integral members of the person-centered diabetes care team. Understanding and embracing the responsibilities in managing and caring for people with diabetes can improve overall health and wellness, leading to improved health outcomes. This course will focus on the most recent updates and changes to the American Diabetes Association Standards of Care for people with diabetes, specifically those with type 1 and type 2. Recent guideline recommendations regarding pharmacotherapy selection now focus on an optimal multimorbidity treatment plan. Emphasis will be on the responsibilities of the pharmacist/pharmacy technician in providing optimal person-centered care for people with diabetes.
At the end of this presentation pharmacists and student pharmacists should be able to:
1. Summarize recent changes to the American Diabetes Association Management of Hyperglycemia in people with diabetes.
2. Discuss the rationale regarding therapeutic decision making when selecting medication therapy for people with type 2 diabetes and its related conditions.
3. Formulate person-centered treatment plans for people with diabetes that focus on the whole person to reduce glucose, improve cardiovascular, kidney, liver, metabolic and cognitive health.
At the end of this presentation pharmacy technicians should be able to:
1. Summarize recent changes to the American Diabetes Association Management of Hyperglycemia in people with diabetes
