Overview – Topics/Speakers:

This course reviews the case of a 54-year-old man who has pre-hypertension, low HDL, high triglycerides, elevated blood glucose, and is abdominally obese. At his first visit to you, this patient, who is new to town, voices concern about his newly diagnosed prediabetes as well as his food choices and physical inactivity.

Through the course of seven questions, you will learn how to counsel this patient, and others with similar conditions, using a lifestyle change system based on five domains (psychology, nutrition, activity, environments and accountability). The approach will be in line with guidelines from the ACC/AHA and NCEP guidelines on nutrition and behavior management using lifestyle modification techniques. Updated criteria for metabolic syndrome diagnoses from the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria for diagnosis of prediabetes using A1C will be addressed, as well as discussion of the use of metformin as an adjunctive to therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC).

This course is designed for primary care and specialty physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and nurses. Participants must pass a posttest with a score of at least 75% to earn CME credit.

This course does not include video lectures.
