Activity Description

Type 1 diabetes is a disease involving the immune-mediated destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic β-cells, leading to insulin deficiency. Type 1 diabetes is less common in adults than in younger individuals and should be distinguished from type 2 diabetes, which is more prevalent in older populations. Individuals with type 1 diabetes require lifelong exogenous insulin replacement. Without insulin, patients can develop severe hyperglycemia and, ultimately, diabetic ketoacidosis, which can be life-threatening. Besides insulin therapy, glucose monitoring, disease-specific education, diet, and lifestyle modifications are cornerstones of type 1 diabetes management. Diabetes self-management education and support should include training on blood glucose monitoring, insulin administration, ketone testing when indicated, nutrition education, methods to avoid and treat hypoglycemia, and sick day rules.

This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance learners' proficiency in evaluating and managing type 1 diabetes. Participants gain a broader grasp of the condition's epidemiology, etiology, potential complications, and evidence-based diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Greater competence enables clinicians to collaborate effectively within an interprofessional team caring for patients with type 1 diabetes, improving outcomes.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying type 1 diabetes, including the role of autoimmune processes and genetic factors, to better inform diagnosis and treatment strategies.

  • Implement the latest advancements in diabetes technology to optimize glycemic control.

  • Differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, especially in adults, to guide appropriate treatment strategies.

  • Implement effective collaboration and communication among interprofessional team members to improve outcomes and treatment efficacy for patients with type 1 diabetes.
