Managing Type 2 Diabetes Diagnosis – Specialist Case (CPD)

Each year an increasing number of people worldwide are being diagnosed with diabetes.1The initial consultation can set a theme for decades of diabetes management. If managed well from the outset, these individuals can live a long and healthy life, however if poor control ensues, along with diabetes distress, the complications can be devastating. Although the majority of patients with type 2 diabetes are diagnosed at the GP level, there are a significant portion of patients with undiagnosed hyperglycaemia who may present at specialist care for complications or other conditions. Endocrinologists, cardiologists, and nephrologists must collaborate with each other and primary care clinicians to ensure that continuity of diabetes care is maintained with all of these patients.

This program will review a patient presenting for specialist care with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes and discuss the role of specialists to collaborate to manage this patient and coordinate the transfer of care to the GP.


This program has received an unrestricted educational grant or in-kind support from Novo Nordisk A/S.
