Diabetes Hub
The crux of the diabetes hub revolves around the 2022 updates to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines on the management of people with type 2 diabetes. Courses of 15-30 minutes, plus 5-minute screencasts, explain the change in emphasis from a target-driven and glucocentric approach towards a greater focus on cardio-renal risk reduction. This shift in focus places the assessment of current and future cardiovascular risk at the centre of treatment. There are courses on the challenges of polypharmacy in diabetes, lifestyle modification, the low GI diet in the context of diabetes and the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme. Two further screencasts cover the newer insulins and the management of diabetic kidney disease.
