Shetty GK, Abrahamson MJ
Program Audience Primary care physicians Educational Needs Addressed Tight glycemic control, including control of both fasting and postprandial glucose levels, is critical in reducing the onset or delaying the progression of the long-term complications of diabetes. There are an expanding number of therapeutic options for clinical use and the challenge is selecting the appropriate therapy for the individual patient. It is important for primary care providers to keep abreast of new treatment options and appropriate ways to incorporate new modalities into existing therapeutic regimens. Educational Objectives After participating in this CME activity, primary care physicians should be able to 1. Describe selected oral agents that may be added to oral combination therapy 2. Describe insulin preparations available 3. Discuss the approach to selecting an insulin regimen 4. Be aware of newer hypoglycemic agents
