Harvard Diabetes Comorbidities and Complications 2023 is a recorded medical course designed to help clinicians optimize care for patients with diabetes and related complications through updated assessment strategies, risk reduction approaches, pharmacologic therapy selection, lifestyle medicine, technology updates, and patient-centered management.
Focus: Obesity, cardiovascular disease, heart failure, coronary artery disease, hypertension, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, dyslipidemia, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, peripheral vascular disease, chronic kidney disease, sexual dysfunction, pregnancy, glucose monitors, insulin pumps, diabetes apps, and health equity.
About This Course
Diabetes care is no longer limited to glucose control alone. Modern management requires a broader view of cardiovascular risk, renal protection, obesity treatment, hepatic disease, vascular complications, medication interactions, technology use, and individualized treatment targets.
This course provides practical education focused on advancing knowledge of diabetes comorbidities and complications, improving evaluation and management, optimizing clinical decision-making, and improving patient outcomes in day-to-day clinical practice.
