At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to apply current evidence-based strategies in the diagnosis and management of Type 2 diabetes, incorporating both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions to improve glycemic control and reduce complications.
With the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes continuing to rise, nurses play a critical role in education, early detection, and comprehensive management of this complex chronic condition. This full-day continuing education program, led by Wendy L. Wright, DNP, ANP-BC, FNP-BC, FAANP, FAAN, FNAP, provides an in-depth update on the latest diagnostic criteria, treatment guidelines, and therapeutic options in diabetes care. Participants will explore both non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic strategies, including lifestyle interventions, medication classes, insulin therapies, and emerging technologies such as continuous glucose monitoring.
Through case-based discussion and evidence-based updates, attendees will leave with practical tools to enhance patient engagement, optimize treatment outcomes, and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.
Target Audience: This program is designed for registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with diabetes. It is especially relevant for clinicians seeking to strengthen their knowledge of Type 2 diabetes management, medication updates, and current best practices for preventing complications.
