Harvard Diabetes Update 2022

At a time when our diabetes knowledge and treatment options have advanced so much, why do clinical outcomes remain suboptimal, with so many patients unable to achieve good control of their disease?

The answer is rooted in three challenges:

Keeping pace with rapidly advancing options for diabetes care
Accounting for a patient’s unique biological, psychological, social, financial, educational, and cultural factors
Overcoming structural healthcare barriers that require clinical strategies to fit within a particular mold

This course is designed to equip clinicians to meet these challenges in order to provide evidence-based, optimal care to their patients.
