Currently, 29 million people in the US have diabetes. It is the leading cause of adult blindness, non-traumatic amputation, renal failure and cardiovascular disease. In addition, it is a tremendous strain on health care costs. As a result, the National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) partnered with numerous health organizations to publish Guiding Principles for the Care of People With or at Risk for Diabetes. Ten clinically useful principles were developed to guide health care providers to deliver quality care to adults with or at risk for diabetes. The purpose of this webinar is to educate health care professionals on the fourth - sixth basic guidelines related to current evidence-based diabetes management and prevention. This is an introductory level course appropriate for nurses, dietitians, rehab professionals, nurses’ aides, and anyone interested in learning more about these topics.
