Miscellaneous
Clinical inertia in type 2 diabetes is particularly pronounced for injectable agents, with delays of 6-8 years reported to move from oral agents to insulin therapy. This can be a result of many barriers at both the patient and clinician level, from perceptions of injectable agents to lack of time to provide sufficient education. Join Dr Ronald Goldenberg for a discussion of how to overcome these barriers to initiating injectable therapy. We’ve got a new website! Find it at diabetes.knowledgeintopractice.com, where you can see all past episodes of the podcast as well as other free CME resources. Follow us on Twitter (@dkipractice) or connect on LinkedIn.
