Multimedia / Distance Learning

These single-topic focused materials are produced by ADA and a variety of multimedia partners, and include printed, recorded, and Web-based instructional materials available with and without continuing education credit. These activities may be accessed over time and include monographs, CD-ROMs, live and archived webcasts, and computer assisted self-learning modules. These easy-to-access resources assist the health care professional in providing improved health care to their patients and the researcher with the latest study outcomes.

Insulin and Oral Hypoglycemic Agents: Determining the Proper Combination
This program comprises content captured live from the ADA’s 67th Scientific Sessions and includes 13 separate activities that focus on:

  • The gap that exists between current oral hypoglycemic and insulin treatment regiments and the attainment of optimal blood glucose levels
  • The effectiveness of aggressive treatment regimens in helping patients obtain their desired glycemic goals, especially with the use of innovative therapeutic treatment options now available
  • Methods for clinicians and patients to receive the education needed to properly incorporate an aggressive therapeutic regimen into a daily diabetes care plan.

Continuing education credit is available for physicians, podiatric physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and dietitians.

Available October 1, 2007 through October 1, 2008

  • This program is supported in part by an unrestricted educational grant from Pfizer, Inc.

Progressive Approaches in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes: Indications and Innovations
This program comprises content captured live from the ADA’s 67th Scientific Sessions and includes ten separate activities that focus on:

  • The gap in current treatments of type 2 diabetes
  • Present and future therapies to correct incretin abnormalities
  • Research studies involving agents that are members of these innovative drug classes
  • The potential role of these innovative agents in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes

Continuing education credit is available for physicians, podiatric physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and dietitians.

Available October 1, 2007 through October 1, 2008

  • This program is supported in part by an unrestricted educational grant from the Amylin/Lilly Alliance. 

Insulin Administration in the Hospital
This satellite broadcast will discuss the importance of glycemic control in the hospital and the development of an insulin protocol that can be tailored to meet various patient needs. Information about intravenous insulin use, transitioning the patient to subcutaneous insulin, and hospital discharge issues will provide the information needed for developing a successful hospital protocol.

Diabetes and Its Co-Morbidities


The Diabetes and Its Co-Morbidities is a new series that will inform health care professionals of the most up-to-date methods of preventing and treating the complications of diabetes, particularly hypertension and chronic kidney disease. These one hour Webcasts will feature slide presentations followed by interactive Q&A sessions, which will allow health care professionals to receive feedback from experts.

These activities are developed specifically for internists, family practitioners, endocrinologists, diabetologists, physician assistants, nurses and nurse practitioners who treat patients with diabetes.

Prevention & Management of Chronic Kidney Disease in the Diabetes Patient
Diabetic nephropathy occurs in up to 40% of patients with diabetes and is characterized by proteinuria and progressive kidney failure. Diabetes is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), accounting for 40-50% of all cases. Intensive diabetes management focused on proper glucose control and lowering of hypertension has been shown to delay the onset of microalbuminuria and progression of nephropathy. This two-part Webcast series will present strategies to help health care professionals to successfully prevent and treat nephropathy.

Managing Hypertension in Adults with Diabetes
Hypertension is a common co-morbid condition of diabetes affecting the majority of people with diabetes. Hypertension is also a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and microvascular complication such as retinopathy and nephropathy. The Diabetes and Hypertension Webcast will help health care professionals to better treat their patients with diabetes and hypertension.
