AGENDA
Welcome and Introduction
Understanding the Pathophysiology of COVID-19
Risk of COVID-19 for Patients with Diabetes
Recommendations
for Managing Patients with Diabetes during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Q&A Session
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
In
the 2020 the CDC reported that 13% of the US adult population had diabetes, 95%
of whom have type 2 diabetes. In general, patients with diabetes are at
increased risk of developing infections and of dying from them. Studies have
shown that patients with diabetes are at increased risk of developing COVID-19
and of having more severe pneumonia, uncontrolled inflammation, and a
hypercoagulable state. The understanding of the pathophysiology of COVID-19 and
how this contributes to the increased risk for patients with diabetes continues
to evolve.
The CME-accredited program “Diabetes and
COVID-19 in the Outpatient Setting: What
Clinicians Need to Know” will provide clinicians who manage patients with
diabetes with the most up-to-date information so that they can appropriately advise patients with diabetes on
how to avoid infection, monitor patients with diabetes who develop COVID-19,
and recognize and manage complications as they occur to minimize morbidity and
mortality.
