Management of Hypoglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes
[print_link]
CME Information
Program Overview
Hypoglycemia is the rate limiting step in managing diabetes intensively. Patients who experience treatment emergent hypoglycemia are at increased risk of cardiovascular death and all-cause mortality. Additionally, hypoglycemia can increase the risk of motor vehicle accidents while reducing adherence to prescribed pharmacologic therapy. Clinicians must assure that patients with cardiovascular disease and those with hypoglycemia unawareness are prescribed medications which lessen the risk of treatment emergent hypoglycemia. This activity will discuss the use of medications which might mitigate one’s risk of developing treatment emergent hypoglycemia.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Identify the risk of hypoglycemia with T2D treatment
- Enhance the ability to manage the risk-benefit balance for treatment of T2D
- Recognize opportunities for the prevention and management of hypoglycemia, improving glycemic control and thereby patient outcomes
- Educate patients about the risks of hypoglycemia due to T2D treatment
- Provide tools and support for recognition and self-management of hypoglycemia
