⭐️ CME Opportunity for this episode below ⭐️Feeling comfortable with treating type 2 diabetes can be overwhelming as a new grad Nurse Practitioner – and even as a seasoned Nurse Practitioner, especially if you don’t have a lot of diabetic patients in your practice. Some patients will be able to improve their diabetes and get their A1C down with lifestyle changes alone; others will need to add oral medication; others will need to add insulin to get optimal control of their diabetes.When the time comes to have a conversation with your patient about starting insulin, they are likely to have lots of questions. If you want to be sure that you have answers, you have come to the right place. This week, we will walk through what you need to know when you have a patient who will be starting insulin for diabetes management. We’ll talk about:✅ The other options for treating type 2 diabetes before you start insulin✅ How much improvement you can expect with various approaches to diabetes treatment✅ A framework for when to start insulin, and how to adjust the dose✅ Managing hypoglycemia after starting insulin✅ Why in-person visits are so beneficial for managing diabetesDiabetes is a complex diagnosis for providers and patients. When you feel confused and overloaded with information, imagine how your patient feels. Being prepared for these conversations and clinical scenarios will help you to feel more confident, which will help you to be an even better resource for your patients.✨ If you'd like support learning about how to manage Diabetes, including medication management, most recent guidelines, when to refer and examples of real-life patient cases, join us for the Managing Diabetes, Hypertension & CKD Review Course.
