You will learn about advanced nutrition management in diabetes, bariatric surgery, complex insulin regimens, insulin pump therapy, and important aspects of care, such as exercise, psychosocial management, driving and pregnancy. The management of diabetes-related complications such as cardiovascular disease, painful and autonomic neuropathy, diabetic foot disease, retinopathy, and diabetic kidney disease, will be discussed. The role of emerging therapies in type 1 diabetes, and diabetes translational research will also be examined.
