Upcoming Webinar
Level 2 | Older Adults and Diabetes Standards | 1.5 CEs

We have updated this content based on the ADA 2021 Standards of Care.

We are living longer and more people are getting diabetes. The American Diabetes Association has updated the Older Adults Standards, with special attention to considering a reduction of medication and insulin therapy intensity. The older population has unique issues and special needs that require consideration as we provide diabetes self-management education. This online course highlights key areas of assessment, intervention, and advocacy for older clients living with diabetes.

Topics include:

• Self-management considerations for older individuals
• Strategies to prevent complications and maintain optimal quality of life
• The role of the Diabetes Educator as an advocate
