Type 1 Diabetes: A Common and Progressive Autoimmune Disease

Pricing: Free for Members and Non-Members

This session is not accredited for continuing pharmacy education credit.

Course Description

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a progressive autoimmune health condition that affects both children and adults. T1D continues to increase in prevalence worldwide, and while there is currently no cure, the importance of early recognition of disease risks and identification could decrease the rates of severe complications such as DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) at the time of diagnosis as well as the associated potential micro- and macrovascular complications.
Recent updates to the American Diabetes Association’s Standard of Care guidelines have highlighted the challenges and opportunities for screening, staging, monitoring, diagnosis, and treating patients with T1D. As such, there is a need for greater collaboration among healthcare teams that play a critical role in shaping the direction and strategy of their organizations, particularly in relation to T1D treatment pathways and delay in disease progression.

Target Audience

Pharmacists who practice in managed care settings.
