Description
Diabetes is about more than just the pancreas. This session will discuss the cardiorenal and metabolic risks facing our clients. Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death for people with type 2 diabetes. Non-alcoholic liver disease may be present in up to 70% of people with diabetes and about 10-40% of those with type 2 diabetes will eventually suffer from kidney failure. Attendees will leave with various resources and intervention strategies for risk reduction in this population.
Planned by the Alliance between the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, along with the Diabetes Dietetic Practice Group.
