Diabetes Pathophysiology and Treatments

Learning Objectives

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:

Identify diabetes as a chronic disorder of metabolism in which the body is unable to use
food for energy, resulting in hyperglycemia;
State the importance of their role and personal responsibility for decision-making and self-management of their disease;
Identify the pancreas as the organ that makes the hormone insulin;
Define hyperglycemia and list the symptoms;
Identify target fasting, postprandial;
State the type of diabetes they have;
List factors that may contribute to the development of diabetes (T1D or T2D);
State that learning about diabetes and self-management is essential for the care of diabetes and prevention of complications;

Method of Presentation

Following completion of the baseline on-line patient assessment, participants will begin the
program by completing the selected Pathophysiology videos or webinar which may be general
or tailored to T1D or T2D. The presentation will be augmented and interactive by:

faculty asking reflective questions and using real-life examples;
participants submitting their queries through the chat box;
faculty answering questions either live in the case of a webinar or through contact/chat
functions;

Content

Basic outline from “What is Diabetes” in Life with Diabetes Curriculum. Content is updated from clinical experience, diabetes literature and ADA Standards of Care published annually. Videos to be selected and tailored by the patient based on their assessment and preferences.
