A New Approach to Type 1 Diabetes

Learn about the role of insulin resistance in type 1 diabetes and how a low-fat, plant-based diet can promote insulin sensitivity.

Participants are expected to watch the video, reflect on its content, and complete the CME self-assessment and CME evaluation. Only upon completing this process will a participant's continuing education certificate be generated. The estimated time a learner will need to complete this self-study activity is 75 minutes. 

This activity is approved for continuing education for physicians, nurses, dietitians, and pharmacists. 
The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences designates this enduring activity for a maximum of 1.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Objectives:

• Explain how insulin resistance is present in type 1 diabetes. 
• Understand how insulin resistance is at the root of type 1 diabetes complications.
• Describe how maximizing insulin sensitivity leads to improved blood glucose control and time-in-range.

Requirements for successful completion: Participants will be awarded contact hours commensurate with participation after completion of the post-test with a score of 70% or higher.
