Beyond the Classroom: Approaches to Diabetes Management

This session provides both pharmacists and pharmacy technicians with a comprehensive understanding of evolving approaches to diabetes care, highlighting the importance of lifestyle modifications and their progression from former to current recommendations. Through patient case studies, pharmacists will identify opportunities for targeted treatment interventions and reinforce their essential role in educating and empowering patients with diabetes to optimize outcomes. Pharmacy technicians, meanwhile, will develop skills to recognize when pharmacist intervention is warranted and will gain insight into their vital contribution to patient safety, particularly in supporting adherence and monitoring for potential issues in patients with type 2 diabetes.
