If you want to get fired up about providing Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES), I highly recommend reading the updated Standards for DSMES. If you don’t have time to read the complete document, we have provided our top 9 takeaways to get you started.
This new version of the DSMES Standards, authored by a collaboration of education specialists, offers a fresh outlook and a simplified six standards with the clear goal of increasing inclusivity and breaking down barriers.
In addition, we explore the expanding clinical applications of the SGLT-2 Inhibitor class.
Clearly, the newer diabetes medications are impacting more than glucose levels, they can also boast about co-benefits including cardiovascular and renal protection. We have updated our Med Pocket Cards to reflect this new perspective and considerations.
Our last two articles take a look at the concerning findings of increased risk of future diabetes post-COVID-19 infection. Large, controlled trials are saying the same thing, about 25-40% of people one year after experiencing COVID-19 are being diagnosed with new type 2 diabetes.
Lastly, to celebrate EARTH DAY, we pause, take a deep breath and notice the wonderment and gift of our beautiful planet. Research shows that planet health improves human health and decreases chronic diseases. Maybe we can each start with one action toward caring for our planet. We provide some great getting started resources on growing native plants in your backyard, patio, or veranda. All of our actions matter.
