Define the risk factors of cardiovascular disease in diabetes management 2. List different exercise strategies to prevent cardiovascular disease 3. Describe dietary strategies used in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, as well as nutrition strategies to minimize blood glucose excursions with activity related hypoglycemia 4. Describe insulin management techniques targeted at treating activity related hypoglycemia 5. Identify and utilize new empowerment strategies ABSTRACT As a result of the aging population and an increasing prevalence of obesity and sedentary life habits, the incidence of diabetes is increasing. Thus, diabetes must take its place alongside the other major risk factors as important causes of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite advances in management of CVD, a large proportion of individuals with diabetes continue to have uncontrolled glycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. At least 65% of people with diabetes die from some form of heart disease or stroke. Glycemic control and lifestyle choices are recommended in the prevention and treatment of CVD. This session will provide a review of cardiovascular disease, especially as it is related to diabetes. As diabetes educators, it is important to engage learners in cardio protective strategies. This presentation will target strategies to improve cardiac function through physical activity. Nutrition approaches to prevent and treat CVD will be reviewed, and strategies to minimize blood sugar excursions during, and in the post activity period, will be discussed. Although the risk for hypoglycemia in persons with type 2 diabetes is less than in people diagnosed with type I on insulin, research shows that the longer a person with type 2 diabetes is on insulin, the greater the risk of hypoglycemia. The mechanisms of hypoglycemia, risks related to hypoglycemia ( physical, cognitive) and risk reducing adjustments to self -management practices, will be discussed. Obstacles to activity will be reviewed, along with strategies to empower our clients, often, one step at a time. Diabetes educators are key players in promoting activity and healthy nutrition as cardio protective strategies in the diabetes management plan.

SPEAKER Anne Bunner, PhDAssociate Director for Clinical Research, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine SPEAKER Caroline Trapp, APN-BC, MSN, BC-ADM, CDE, FAANPNurse Practitioner/Director of Diabetes Care, Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine PROGRAM OBJECTIVE Implement effective community models of self management that facilitate lifestyle modification to help prevent or delay chronic disease and improve outcomes LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Define diabetic neuropathy 2. Describe dietary rules and guidelines provided to participants in study 3. Describe behavior modification approach used in study ABSTRACT Distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DPN) is among the most prevalent of diabetic neuropathies, and is associated with anxiety, depression and decreased quality of life. It frequently manifests as severe and chronic pain, particularly in the lower extremities, and/or a loss of sensation and high risk for insensate injury to the feet. At present, there is no specific treatment for the underlying nerve damage, other than improved glycemic control, which may modestly slow progression in type 2 diabetes. Medications may provide symptomatic relief but the side effect profile often limits their acceptability. A review of the literature found a limited number of studies on dietary interventions for painful DNP. This presentation will describe the ongoing Diet Intervention for Neuropathy Effect (DINE) Study, a 20-week randomized controlled trial designed to test the hypothesis that a low-fat, plant-based (vegan) diet reduces diabetic neuropathy pain, as measured by validated pain scales, quality of life questionnaires, and patient diaries. Study design, including an extensive nutrition education component will be explored. With a small initial cohort, we observed significant improvements in pain and other measures. This study demonstrates the potential of diet interventions for treating diabetic neuropathy pain and lays the groundwork for a larger study.

Describe the scope of information available with continuous glucose monitoring data when synthesized into an "ambulatory glucose profile". 2. Identify opportunities for patient engagement and understanding of complex CGM data sets while improving the patient/caregiver team's ability to make changes in therapies. 3. Demonstrate the ability to combine clinical expertise, patient concerns, and evidence gathered from the AGP to arrive at optimal therapy recommendations. ABSTRACT Despite the best efforts of patients and clinicians, glucose variability and hypoglycemia continue to be barriers for achieving desired glycemic outcomes. Continuous glucose monitoring allows clinicians and patients a comprehensive view of an individual's glucose levels 24 hours a day for a defined period of time with advantages and disadvantages. However, it also is an improvement over SMBG for revealing glucose variability and glucose patterns. The International Diabetes Center (IDC) has become a strong advocate for a therapy management tool that can use data from any CGM system to perform a statistical analysis of the data and generate a visual report called the ambulatory glucose profile (AGP). The AGP provides a comprehensive view of the data in a universal software report that statistically and visually represents glycemic exposure, glycemic variability, glycemic stability and time in range. The visual report allows clinicians, educators and patients to identify glucose patterns and areas of clinical concern so that lifestyle and pharmacologic therapy can be appropriately adjusted. This session will introduce participants to the AGP and participants will develop skills that enhance patient engagement and decision making using the information provided by this technology.

T02 - DSME for Older Adults: Utility of Selected Assessment Tools

Speaker(s) :

Speaker Kathy Stroh, RD, CDEDiabetes and Heart Disease Prevention & Control Program, DE, Diabetes and Heart Disease Prevention & Control Program Speaker Linda Gottfredson, PhDProfessor, School of Education, University of Delaware PROGRAM OBJECTIVE Establish innovative partnerships that promote chronic disease management through measurable outcomes LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Discuss challenges in self management of diabetes that increase with age. 2. Describe current tools and guidelines for assessing diabetes patients' cognitive, psychosocial, and nutritional status, their self-management knowledge, literacy, behaviors, challenges, and supports; and their quality of life. 3. Review types of self-management errors and non-adherence likely among older patients with diabetes. 4. Describe how to evaluate assessment tools for quality and relevance with older PWDs. 5. Identify most useful assessments for older PWDs. ABSTRACT Adults over age 65 have the highest prevalence and a rising incidence of diabetes. Challenges in self-management increase with age, and older adults differ widely in their needs and capacities for effective self-management. Assessment of older adults with diabetes is therefore essential to providing optimal DSME/T. Although tools are available to assess a wide variety of patient attributes, needs, and outcomes, it is not clear how appropriate and useful they are for older adults. We will therefore review commonly-used assessments for their utility with older PWDs. These include measures of patients' cognitive, psychosocial, and nutritional status; self-management knowledge, literacy, behaviors, challenges, and supports; and their quality of life. We will identify assessment tools with potential value for DSME/T, but not commonly utilized. Effective assessment must characterize the great variation in cognitive ability among older adults, in order to increase the cognitive accessibility of DSME/T to those with weak or declining cognitive skills. Another necessity is a systematic way to identify---and hence prevent---critical self-management errors that are likely among older adults. Our aim is to help diabetes educators equip themselves with high-utility assessment tools so they can deliver effective and efficient DSME/T to older adults.

T04 - The Role of Shared Decision Making in Diabetes: Considering the Patient's Preferences
AUDIO ONLY

Speaker(s) :

Speaker Anna Vannelli, MS, RD, CDE, LDCertified Diabetes Educator, Park Nicollet International Diabetes Center PROGRAM OBJECTIVE Describe new methodologies used to support and enhance the quality of patient centered care LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Summarize the benefits of shared decision making between healthcare providers and patients with diabetes. 2. Identify available tools to assist in diabetes shared decision making. 3. Apply shared decision making tools in everyday practice. ABSTRACT Historically, clinicians, including diabetes educators, have held a directive role in the care of patients. Today's reality is that patients are consumers and customers of health care, with multiple avenues for obtaining health information. Patients may respect the advice of the health care professional, but will ultimately act upon their own conclusions. Patients may make cost-driven treatment decisions that can affect medication adherence, a central component to optimal diabetes self-management. As new antiglycemic agents and treatment algorithms become available, clinicians are put in charge of choosing which agent(s) to use, when to use them, and in what sequence; patient preferences may not be considered. Shared decision making has been shown to increase patient knowledge, increase confidence in decisions, and promote a more activated patient. Shared decision making in diabetes may involve the use of evidence-based tools, called decision aids. This presentation will describe the realities and challenges of diabetes management and how shared decision making can be beneficial for your patients. It will also identify tools to assist you in shared decision making and how these tools can be used in everyday practice. Finally, we will discuss our experience with shared decision making research.

Identify unique situations encountered with the U500 insulin pump patient 7.Summarize trouble shooting for pump malfunction or site issues with hospitalization for DKA 8.Explain how to best transition care back to community ABSTRACT Insulin pump therapy is being used with increased frequency. Insulin pump therapy is now not only being used among patients with type 1 diabetes, but it is now a common therapy option for patients with type 2 diabetes as well. Consequently, more and more diabetic patients being admitted to the hospital happen to use SCII at home. Many of these patients would prefer to continue therapy in the inpatient setting. The continued use of the patient's home insulin pump in the inpatient setting means the provider and diabetes educator will need to assess the need for initial modifications to pump settings. The inpatient environment allows the provider to make changes to pump settings and provides the opportunity to re-assess, all in a controlled environment. This program will address the critical skills needed by diabetes educators and providers to manage insulin pump patients safely and effectively in the inpatient setting. It will highlight many of the advanced features of pump therapy and how they can be uniquely tailored to meet the patients' needs in the inpatient setting.

T15 - Diabetes Guideline Comparison: Understanding Key Differences & Applying the Evidence to Help Patients Reach Individualized Goals

Speaker(s) :

Speaker Melissa Max, PharmD, RPh, BC-ADM, CDEAssistant Professor, Harding University PROGRAM OBJECTIVE Implement effective community models of self management that facilitate lifestyle modification to help prevent or delay chronic disease and improve outcomes, Describe new methodologies used to support and enhance the quality of patient centered care LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Compare and contrast the recommendations of the American Diabetes Association/European Association for the Study of Diabetes and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists regarding the treatment, both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic, of people with diabetes. 2. Identify recent recommendations regarding interventions for patients diagnosed with prediabetes and/or obesity. 3. Describe the place in therapy for newer pharmacotherapeutic agents in diabetes management, focusing on cautions and/or contraindications to use. IV. Apply knowledge of evidence-based recommendations to specific patient cases to help empower patients to reach their behavioral and treatment outcomes. ABSTRACT Initiating therapy for newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes is relatively straightforward; subsequent direction is less clear. Due to the disease's progressive nature, management may become more challenging and combination therapy may become necessary to maintain glycemic, hypertensive and dyslipidemic control. Additional pharmacotherapeutic agents differ in efficacy, cost, adverse effect profile, and pleiotropic benefit. Effective patient management requires in-depth knowledge of numerous classes of pharmacotherapeutic agents and evidence-based lifestyle interventions. Important differences among drugs within each class further complicate add-on therapy decisions. Patient preferences, needs and goals should guide the provision of individualized care. Numerous expert guidelines/treatment algorithms are available. The ADA/EASD issued a position statement regarding management of type 2 diabetes in 2012, and the AACE issued an updated treatment algorithm in 2013. Unity in recommending metformin as ?rst-line pharmacotherapy does not extend to recommendations for subsequent agents. Significant differences in content and approach to management remain. This presentation will compare and contrast the preferred pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches presented by the guidelines. Discussion of the supporting evidence will aid understanding of speci?c recommended drug classes/combinations and interventional approaches. The use of case-based examples will aid diabetes educators in better assisting patients in reaching their individualized goals.

SPEAKER Elizabeth Venditi, PhDAssistant Professor, Psychiatry and Epidemiology, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center PROGRAM OBJECTIVE Implement effective community models of self management that facilitate lifestyle modification to help prevent or delay chronic disease and improve outcomes LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Define the main cognitive-behavioral theories on which obesity/weight management treatments are founded 2. Identify and discuss the major evidence base supporting use of obesity interventions for chronic disease management 3. Describe the main principles and practices that guide a motivational interviewing (MI) approach to provider-patient communications ABSTRACT With emphasis on the past decade this presentation will address obesity and diabetes prevention theory and research as it relates to a cluster of behavioral approaches for the self-regulation of eating, physical activity and weight. Traditionally, the strategies derived from classical, operant and social learning theories have referenced goal setting, self-monitoring, stimulus control, problem solving, contingency management, cognitive restructuring, stress management, social support and motivation. In this presentation, I will discuss how such strategies have been used in evidence based behavior change interventions for primary disease prevention and health promotion. One focus will be to address what individuals appear to need from their social and physical environment, and their health care providers, to be more effective at managing energy balance behaviors and obesity. Another focus includes principles and examples of motivational interviewing for effective health care communication. All of these strategies require training and practice for clinical proficiency (i.e. they are not grab and go) however at the conclusion of this presentation the learner should have adequate knowledge of the essential features of behavioral weight management. This session will highlight behavioral strategies such as motivational interviewing and using the stages of change model when working with people to help them keep the weight off.

Speaker(s) :

SPEAKER Kathy Schwab, MPH, RDRegional Manger, Diabetes Program, Providence Health & Services SPEAKER Monica Peek, MD, MPHAssistant Professor of Medicine, The University of Chicago SPEAKER Nilay Shah, PhD PROGRAM OBJECTIVE Describe new methodologies used to support and enhance the quality of patient centered care LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Define shared decision-making (SDM). 2. Identify several barriers to SDM among African-Americans with diabetes. 3. Describe strategies to enhance SDM among this population. ABSTRACT The presentation will discuss shared decision-making, barriers/facilitators to SDM among African-Americans with diabetes, and discuss skills building in SDM among this population. As part of a larger intervention, our team developed the Diabetes Empowerment Program, a 10-week program that combined culturally-tailored diabetes education with skills training in patient/provider communication and shared decision-making. The SDM classes focused on building patients skills and confidence in asking more questions, giving more information, clarifying/restating what the doctor says, and communicating health care preferences. We created interactive games and a video about SDM which will be viewed and discussed as part of the presentation. Patients self-confidence about diabetes care significantly improved after program participation in decision-making empowerment and diabetes self-efficacy. Patients perceived themselves to be more involved in their care, and reported more frequent exercising, blood sugar monitoring, and foot examinations. There was a significant decrease in weight and HbA1c from baseline, which was sustained at the 6-month follow-up. Our findings suggest that combining culturally-tailored diabetes education with skills training in shared decision-making can be an effective strategy to improve self-confidence and behaviors in self-management and shared decision-making, and also improve diabetes-related health outcomes.

F10 - Magnify Your Impact!: Tools and Tips to help Inpatient Educators do More with Less

Speaker(s) :

Speaker Tamara Swigert, MSN, RN, CDEConsultant, Certified Diabetes Educator PROGRAM OBJECTIVE Describe new methodologies used to support and enhance the quality of patient centered care LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Describe the role and challenges of the inpatient diabetes educator. 2. Analyze strategies to magnify efforts of the inpatient diabetes educator. 3. Summarize characteristics and uses of the highlighted inpatient diabetes education tools, including the Self-care Skills Flipchart, the Teaching Checklist, and others. 4. Plan inpatient staff education activities on use of the tools to provide accurate, consistent diabetes survival skills education. ABSTRACT With increasing burdens of diabetes prevalence in hospitals, demands on inpatient nursing staff, and budget constraints, inpatient diabetes educators must find creative and effective ways to use resources and magnify their impact. In a "force multiplier" model of care, the hospital diabetes educator becomes a facilitator and support person for unit "RN diabetes champions" and bedside nurses, who in turn provide their patients with accurate, consistent diabetes survival skills education. To improve and standardize diabetes management and education across the Air Force (including inpatient care), a team of contractors (CDEs/diabetes specialists) worked closely with the endocrinology staff at the Air Force Diabetes Center of Excellence to compile and develop materials for a comprehensive "diabetes tool kit". Inpatient tools included a scripted "survival skills flipchart" and supplementary materials. These tools are now available to the public and may be downloaded at no cost. This presentation highlights the challenges of meeting the diabetes-related needs of hospitalized patients and healthcare organizations, while inpatient diabetes educators are spread so thin. It describes the development of these tools, preliminary responses, and how the tools can be accessed and used by inpatient diabetes educators in their respective organizations to address some of these challenges.

The Emory Diabetes Education Training Academy (EDETA) educates physicians and mid-level providers including diabetes educators, registered nurses (RN) and registered dietitians (RD) on the diabetes self-management education (AADE7) framework. Healthcare providers attend live interactive discussions via CME webinars. Our results indicate that many facilities are not implementing the complete AADE 7 Framework and the healthcare professionals advancing their diabetes-related knowledge are certified diabetes educators (CDEs), RNs and RDs, leaving out physicians, physician assistants (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs) and lower level healthcare professionals (medical assistants (MAs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs)). Additionally, facilities are not providing and referring patients to preventative services such as eye, dental, podiatry, renal and pharmacy and some facilities are not teaching insulin administration. Finally, a large number of diabetes educators are not successfully identifying patients in need of mental assistance which may have consequences on the patients coping mechanisms and overall glycemic control. Continuous education is vital to increase capacity training for all levels of healthcare professionals.

F15 - Diabetic Neuropathies: Pain and Beyond

Speaker(s) :

Speaker Pat Rafferty, PharmD, RPh, CDEAssociate Professor of Clinical Pharmacy, St. Louis College of Pharmacy PROGRAM OBJECTIVE Describe new methodologies used to support and enhance the quality of patient centered care LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Define diabetic neuropathies. 2. Describe the pathogenesis of neuropathies. 3. Discuss therapies for diabetic neuropathies. ABSTRACT Diabetic neuropathies include painful polyneuropathy, with both positive (pain) and negative (numbness) symptoms, and autonomic neuropathies including gastroparesis and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy. This common, disabling disease profoundly affects patients and the healthcare system and is associated with considerable morbidity, mortality, and diminished quality of life. In patients with neuropathies, depression and anxiety commonly coexist and act as mediators and complicators of eventual outcomes. Neuropathies are associated with a quarter of the total costs of diabetes care in the U.S. The prevalence of neuropathy in patients with diabetes is about 30% and up to 50% of patients will eventually develop neuropathy during the course of their disease. Hyperglycemia is a key factor underlying diabetic neuropathy, but dyslipidemia, impaired insulin signaling, and the metabolic syndrome may also contribute. While glucose control is crucial in the management of neuropathies, pain management may include anticonvulsants, antidepressants, opioids, and topical medications including lidocaine and capsaicin. For many patients, available therapies for pain and nerve impairment are less than satisfactory, so rational therapies that address the underlying pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathies need to be developed. This review will cover pathogenesis, available treatments, and investigational treatments for diabetic neuropathies.

Speaker(s) :

Speaker Caroline Trapp, APN-BC, MSN, BC-ADM, CDE, FAANPNurse Practitioner/Director of Diabetes Care, Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine PROGRAM OBJECTIVE Describe new methodologies used to support and enhance the quality of patient centered care LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Define biomedical ethical principles. 2. State the four tenets of the AADE Membership Code of Ethics. 3. Describe four phases of ethical competency. 4. Identify three or more ethical issues relevant to diabetes educators. 5. Discuss the role of diabetes educators in addressing ethical issues. ABSTRACT In 2009, the Institute of Medicine published their seminal report, "Conflict of Interest in Medical Research, Education and Practice," which encourages discussion of the ethics of industry-provider collaborations. This document grew out of numerous studies documenting the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on physician prescribing patterns, through samples, meals, honorariums and more. Is it possible that diabetes educators may also be influenced by industry, and how does this influence impact the recipients of diabetes education? Studies have demonstrated that physicians believe, incorrectly, that they are able to distinguish marketing from unbiased information and resist influence. Diabetes educators are often asked for their recommendations on treatments and products. "How safe is this medication?" "What blood glucose meter would you recommend?" "What do you think about this (food product)?" We maintain our reputation for being knowledgeable and trustworthy by making recommendations supported by evidence and avoiding any appearance of conflict of interest. How do we access and evaluate unbiased evidence? And what conflicts of interest do diabetes educators encounter? This presentation will explore AADE's Code of Ethics, Scope of Practice, and biomedical and professional ethical principles as they apply to our work experiences.

S10A - Type 2 Diabetes and Insulin Therapy: Can Diabetes Educators be More Effective in Meeting the Educational Needs of their Patients?

Speaker(s) :

SPEAKER Robert Powell, MS, CDE, ACSM-CESDiabetes Educator & Researcher, University of Pittsburgh Diabetes Institute PROGRAM OBJECTIVE Describe new methodologies used to support and enhance the quality of patient centered care LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. List elements that patients report as relevant when educating them on insulin therapy. 2. Define specific strategies in meeting the patient-identified educational needs when providing insulin therapy education. 3. Apply the study findings to their patient populations. ABSTRACT Although insulin therapy is considered to be important in the management of type 2 diabetes (T2D), patient acceptance to take insulin and adherence rates are low. Patient-centered approaches are receiving widespread attention yet, there is little documented on what patients, representing diverse populations, identify as their educational needs in regards to insulin therapy. Patients, nave to insulin and insulin-users, from clinics (private, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) and free) serving primarily White, African American, and Latino populations, participated in focus groups conducted to explore educational needs of patients related to insulin therapy. This interactive session is designed to inform the diabetes educator about patient-generated concerns and educational gaps. Awareness of these factors can guide the diabetes educator working with diverse groups toward more effective communication strategies for best practice and subsequently, enhance patient willingness to take and adhere to insulin therapy for improved self-management outcomes.

S11 - How Can I Help You Understand? Issues in Health Literacy and Numeracy in Diabetes

Speaker(s) :

Speaker Margaret Adams, ARNP, CNS, RN, BC-ADM, CDEDiabetes Clinicial Nurse Specialist, VA Medical CenterAmbulatory Care PROGRAM OBJECTIVE Describe new methodologies used to support and enhance the quality of patient centered care LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Define Health Literacy and Numeracy. 2. Discuss the challenges and consequences of low Health Literacy/Numeracy. 3. Describe various interventions to help mitigate Health Literacy/Numeracy barriers in patients. 4. Employ practical tools for enhancing and spreading Health Literacy/Numeracy skills. ABSTRACT There is an enormous chasm of knowledge between what health care professionals know and what consumers and patients understand. Over a third of adults currently lack sufficient health literacy and numeracy to effectively undertake needed medical treatments and preventive care. Health literacy is one of the strongest predictors of health status, and lack of understanding leads to many poor outcomes, and dissatisfied patients and health care staff. In a changing health care climate where the shift is toward consumer driven care, it is imperative that health information is presented in ways that meet the needs and interests of all patients; and more specifically for diabetes educators, the complex knowledge and skills required in diabetes self-management. A national VA Diabetes Field Advisory Group has developed Education Plans and Competency Assessments for patient care teams in order to help improve clinician understanding and identify clinical strategies regarding diabetes related topics, including Health Literacy/Numeracy, which will be presented here. This discussion will help participants to identify the challenges of health literacy/numeracy, discuss available assessment tools, explore solutions to improve care, and employ practical tools for enhancing health literacy/numeracy skills. Interactive discussion and case studies will apply health literacy/numeracy knowledge to diabetes educator practice.

Discuss how to develop a diabetes education program that incorporates technology-enabled patient engagement vehicles. 2. Describe best practices in telemedicine that help patients benefit from highly effective, personalized interactions. 3. Utilize mobile health technology to stay connected with patients between interactions and inform individualized and impactful education efforts. ABSTRACT Diabetes educators currently face many limitations in terms of time, resources and access to patients for care---these challenges will be exacerbated as the prevalence of diabetes in our nation continues to increase. Today's advanced technology may provide an opportunity to address these issues. Telemedicine and mobile health are two emerging technologies that are a natural fit for our industry. However, CDEs may have concerns about the effectiveness, reimbursement and practicality associated with these avenues. This session will address these concerns and reveal best practices around the use of telemedicine and mobile health technology. For example, there are simple yet highly effective ways to engage patients during a telemedicine session to ensure that they feel supported in spite of the "virtual" nature of this interaction. Today's mobile health technology is an ideal adjunct to such an approach, since it can be used to stay in contact with patients in between these interactions and provide more personalized outreach. This session will also walk attendees through case studies that illustrate the potential results achieved with these technologies. Finally, this informative presentation will illustrate how a technology-enabled approach can complement any diabetes education program alongside more traditional "high-touch" interactions.
