Description
Why can’t diabetes management be like we learned in school? That was complicated enough.Now you’re on your own, and there are so many questions with your patients to manage diabetes. Symptoms that don’t necessarily follow a straight line. All of the elements of managing diabetes that are beyond your control – patient’s motivation, cost of medications, how realistic a plan may be, how long until they can be seen by the specialist that you referred them to –it gets more complex by the minute.[Spoiler alert: these are not issues faced exclusively by new grads, either; this is the state of play when it comes to working with diabetic patients.]This week, we have a great interview with Meghan Kavanaugh. She is a Registered Dietitian AND Nurse Practitioner that works exclusively with patients with diabetes. We cover a lot of ground, including:Taking the stigma out of diabetes and diabetes managementContinuous glucose monitoring – what it is, the double-edged sword that it can sometimes be, and practical tips for patient teaching about itTips for the administrative challenge of working with patients with diabetesAddressing cost for un- and underinsured patients with diabetesAnswers to the questions that YOU submittedGet your Diabetes Resource Sheet here.If you liked this post, also check out:Diabetes Case Study in Mentorship for Nurse PractitionersChronic Care ConversationsInsulin Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes -----------------------Don't forget to grab your free Ultimate Resource Guide for the New NPSign up for the Lab Interpretation Crash Course Grab your copy of the Digital NP Binder------------------------Come follow along for even more tips and inspiration:InstagramFacebook_____________________________Please note: This episode is intended only for medical providers and students learning to be medical providers.
