ConsultantLive Highlights National Diabetes Month
NORWALK, Conn., Nov. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Medica US announces that ConsultantLive a leading online community for primary care clinicians, presents a resource center on diabetes to help busy clinicians stay up-to-date on diabetes care.
Diabetes is at epidemic levels in the US: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 21.9 million people—9.3% of the US population—have the disease. In November, National Diabetes Month is observed with the goal of spreading the word about the importance of tight diabetes control and its role in reducing heart disease risk.
The featured articles below discuss some of the most recent research findings, and offer sage clinical recommendations:
- Slower Eating Increases Satiety, Reduces Hunger in Type 2 Diabetes Patients Faulty brain satiety centers and impaired gut hormone function are risk factors for weight gain in patients with type 2 diabetes. A recent study suggests one simple antidote: Slow down.
- Menopause in Women with Diabetes: Hormonal-glycemic Storm For nondiabetic women, menopause is an extended biological and physiological purgatory. For those with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, it's worse.
- Metabolic Syndrome: What Does it Look Like? Mrs. Bates is 65 years old and sees you for her annual physical examination. She is in general good health and takes only atorvastatin. Her BMI is not ideal, though, and she has some new complaints.
- Why Not Prescribe a SGLT2 Inhibitor for This Patient? The sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors have many advantages: modest A1c reduction and low hypoglycemia risk. But careful patient selection is critical.
