Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder resulting from a gradual decline in pancreatic
beta cell function (type 2 diabetes mellitus, T2DM) or from autoimmune destruction
of pancreatic beta cells (type 1 diabetes mellitus, T1DM). Decreasing function in
these specialized cells impacts both insulin secretion and sensitivity, resulting
in variable blood glucose levels and a complex metabolic response that affects many
organs. Diabetes continues to be one of the most common chronic conditions as its
prevalence rises from year to year.
Uncontrolled blood glucose is extraordinarily damaging for all diabetics. Patients
on insulin therapy have traditionally relied on finger stick tests for routine self-monitoring
of blood glucose (SMBG). However, many patients find relying on finger stick methods
painful, leading to a significant compliance issues. This activity will provide pharmacists
with a foundational understanding of the clinical consequences associated with variable
blood glucose levels in order to advocate and educate patients about monitoring devices.
The target audience for this activity includes pharmacists. At the completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:
