2010 Advances IN Diabetes Why You Should Attend Because the majority of people with diabetes are cared for by their primary care providers, PCPs need a comprehensive review and update on diabetes management to provide optimal care. This annual CME course, initiated more than century ago by Elliott P. Joslin, MD, in conjunction with Harvard Medical School, is the longest-running continuously offered academic course in diabetes in the United States and, likely, the world. The course has evolved with diabetes practice and research as well as the changing continuing education needs of the medical profession. For 2010, the course adopts a new format emphasizing participant interaction in smaller breakout sessions for a more dynamic learning experience. Topics Insulin Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Lifestyle Aspects of Diabetes Treatment Prevention and Treatment of Kidney Disease Diabetes and the Heart Reducing Cardiovascular Risk Microvascular Complications And more Learning Objectives Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: Describe recent advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as well as comorbidities of these conditions Describe advances in research related to diabetes treatments that have translated into improved glucose control and quality of life for people living with this condition Identify specific changes that clinicians will make in their practices regarding care of people with diabetes and comorbidities based on updated knowledge of state-of-the-art treatment approaches List improvements in skills in caring for people with diabetes and related conditions based on participation in presentations/discussions of clinical case scenarios Implement therapeutic strategies to overcome clinical practice obstacles resulting from various issues and barriers to optimal diabetes management relative to specific populations/ ethnic groups Special benefits and features Special lectures on treatment goals, kidney disease, and diabetes and the heart Practical workshops on using insulin, noninsulin medications, and lifestyle changes to manage diabetes Thyroid Day symposium on November 10 Best practices for managing diabetes in special populations such as the elderly, pregnant women, different ethnic or cultural groups, and hospitalized patients In-depth morning and evening symposia on sleep apnea, obesity treatments, and hypogonadism and erectile dysfunction in diabetes Timely, practical updates on complications and comorbidities An opportunity to learn from and interact with nationally and internationally recognized experts chosen for their superior experience and knowledge Space is limited.

What your colleagues are saying about Advances in Diabetes The course was a clear, concise, yet detailed summary of the advances made in diabetes in the last decade. I wish that I had taken the course sooner. The faculty were excellent...loved the ARS...adds some interest to courses. Everything was excellent! Best course I have ever attended in my 25 years experience as a diabetes educator! Absolutely phenomenal job by all! The case presentations/panel discussions were very helpful in putting the lectures into perspective. Really enjoyed the case-based presentations, interaction between advances in science and practical management of diabetes. You succeeded in bringing diabetes research and treatment up to date, including about-to-be-published work. Speakers were very accomplished and knowledgeable. I am in a setting where we are steeped in diabetes education, practice, and research and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and usefulness of the majority of the presentations. It was a comprehensive course, all aspects in the care of diabetes were covered, from top to bottom, and the speakers were knowlegeable and experts in their field. I really liked the case presentations. This was the most oustanding, comprehensive and well-organized course I have attended this year. Copyright 2010 by. All rights reserved.
