  • A Review of Insulin Transition

    Diabetes mellitus is a collection of chronic metabolic diseases that occur either as the result of insulin deficiency or insulin resistance. One of the primary goals in diabetes treatment includes lowering blood glucose levels sufficiently to prevent microvascular and macrovascular complications. The type of insulin prescribed depends on multiple factors, and insulins frequently are interchanged. Before choosing or transitioning to an appropriate insulin, consider all social determinants and individualize the treatment regimen as “one size does not fit all.”

  • Teplizumab-mzwv Injection (Tzield)

    Teplizumab can be prescribed to delay the onset of stage 3 type 1 diabetes in adults and pediatric patients age 8 years and older with stage 2 type 1 diabetes.

  • Telehealth Monitoring Helps At-Risk Patients with Diabetes

    Standard care for patients with persistently poor control of type 2 diabetes does not always work well. Investigators studied different telehealth interventions designed for this group. They found comprehensive telehealth improved multiple outcomes in patients with persistently poorly controlled type 2 diabetes.

  • Are SGLT2 Inhibitors Effective for HFpEF Patients Without Diabetes?

    After comparing empagliflozin to placebo for patients with heart failure and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, researchers found no differences in the significant reduction of the primary outcome of cardiovascular death or heart failure hospitalization over 36 months based on whether patients were diabetic.

Easily referenced resources on COVID-19 are essential for healthcare professionals in speaking with patients. Easy-to-navigate, dependable, up-to-date sources of information help serve patients requiring specific and timely answers to questions. Having a “go-to” list of resources can reduce confusion about COVID-19, making vaccination updates and other conversations more productive.

  • Diabetic Emergencies: Part II

  • Virtual Diabetes Boot Camp Helps Patients Improve

    A virtual diabetes boot camp program can help patients improve their health, even when it is difficult to attend in-person appointments.

  • Telemonitoring Can Be Embedded Successfully in Nurse-Led Care Model

    Smartphone-based systems can be used to monitor patients with complex chronic conditions, especially when case managers or other clinicians follow up with occasional phone calls, investigators found.
  • Virtual Diabetes Boot Camp Helps Patients Improve

    Research shows a multidisciplinary team, including telehealth members, can create a virtual diabetes program that helps patients improve their health.
