Diabetes management is not one-size-fits-all. Everyone’s treatment plan must consider factors such as age, lifestyle, coexisting health conditions, and social determinants of health. Effective diabetes care is critical to reducing the risk of serious complications, including cardiovascular disease, kidney damage, nerve issues, and vision loss.

This course is designed to provide a deep dive into pattern management for patients with complex diabetes. Although developed by pharmacists, it is built for all healthcare professionals committed to delivering patient-centered diabetes care.

Through 12 comprehensive, self-paced modules, participants will explore advanced concepts in diabetes management, aligned with current best practices and technological innovations. The program equips healthcare providers with knowledge, practical skills, and confidence to improve outcomes for individuals living with diabetes.
