What this track covers

This track covers Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes management for adults in primary care, including pharmacotherapy selection beyond metformin, insulin strategies, and interpretation of continuous glucose monitoring data. It also addresses sick day rules, complication screening, and considerations for special populations such as pregnancy and older adults.

What you will practice

Choosing a second-line agent after metformin based on comorbidities
Interpreting an ambulatory glucose profile and time in range
Deciding when to initiate basal insulin and how to titrate it
Recognizing early signs of DKA and sick day risk
Screening intervals for diabetic kidney disease and retinopathy

Simulator scenario

A timed case where a patient with Type 2 diabetes on metformin presents with rising A1c and new renal impairment, requiring the clinician to reassess and adjust therapy.

Board question topics

Second-line agent selection in Type 2 diabetes
CGM and ambulatory glucose profile interpretation
Sick day management and DKA recognition
Diabetes screening in pregnancy and older adults
