Diabetes


Diabetes is a serious disease, and it affects many older adults. The unique physiological constitution, biomedical needs, and psychosocial challenges of older individuals call for an individualized approach to their management. GSA resources focus on how management can be tailored to the person’s requirements and can involve comprehensive interdisciplinary input.


  • Case Concepts in T2DM: Caring for Older Adults Transitioning to and Living in LTC Settings

    This 0.75-credit CME/CE activity offers geriatricians, diabetologists, primary care practitioners, internists, physician associates, nurse practitioners, and nurses insights and information to help them recognize challenges of managing patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who are transitioning to or living in long-term care settings and implement strategies to effectively care for these individuals through review of patient cases. Participants can answer questions about optimal management approaches for each patient and see how their answers compare with those of their peers. In addition, video clips provided by expert faculty reinforce important clinical concepts. The program was developed by Med-IQ in collaboration with The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) with support from Sanofi US and features past GSA President Barbara Resnick, PhD, RN, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP, FGSA, and Rodolfo J. Galindo, MD, FACE, as the expert faculty.
