Webinar: Addressing Three Clinical Questions in Diabetes
The evidence regarding the management of type 2 diabetes is continually evolving. As this evidence evolves, there are issues that arise where the clinician can consider multiple pathways for the management of patients. Three issues that are currently being debated will be addressed within this webinar. It will review the evidence supporting diabetes remission at diagnosis versus regulation, the debate of glycemic control versus cardiovascular risk reduction and the role of continuous glucose monitoring as a potentially preferred method of monitoring over HbA1c measurement. The international expert panel will review the current evidence and share their insight on each of these issues so that their colleagues can integrate the evidence into their clinical practice.
