Purpose: Audio-Digest Foundation CME/CE activities are designed to provide its learners – physicians and other healthcare professionals – with continuing education that will help identify clinical problems in their practice settings, provide content to help to solve those problems, and increase their application of knowledge to practice.
Audio-Digest Internal Medicine is specifically designed to provide the participant with state-of-the-art information on, including, but not limited to, the diagnosis and management of:
Gastroenterology
Hematology and medical oncology
Rheumatology
Pulmonary and critical care medicine
Endocrinology
Infectious disease
Nephrology and hypertension
Cardiology
Geriatric medicine
The goal of this program is to improve the prevention and management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1: Diagnose prediabetes or T2DM by evaluating a patient’s fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-hr postprandial glucose (2-hr PPG), or hemoglobin (Hb) A1c level.
2: Reduce the risk of developing T2DM in patients with prediabetes by lifestyle intervention programs for weight loss and increased physical activity.
3: Prescribe pharmacologic therapy with proven efficacy in preventing progression to T2DM.
4: Recognize when intensification of basal insulin therapy is required to achieve glycemic control in patients with T2DM.
5: Progress patients on previous insulin treatment to basal-bolus therapy via stepwise addition of prandial insulin.
