The Diabetes Prevention and Control Program (DPCP) worked with the Pennsylvania Medical Society to offer CME /CEU  credits to healthcare professionals through their Counter Details program.  The objectives of the Managing the Diabetic Patient in Today’s Environment (July 2008) Counter Details are to help healthcare professionals:
  • identify the epidemiology of diabetes in Pennsylvania and United States;
  • integrate ADA Standards of Care into their clinical practice to help their patients with diabetes live longer, healthier lives according to the Pennsylvania Diabetes Action Plan;
  • identify some of the current gaps in the management  of diabetes;
  • communicate effectively, taking into consideration cultural and literacy barriers;
  • evaluate new and emerging diabetes technologies and classes of medications to determine their appropriate place in therapy; and
  • teach the importance of prevention of secondary complications.
