This talk will focus on managing diabetes-related complications through complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). CAM for diabetes management includes dietary supplements, herbs, acupuncture, hypnosis, yoga and meditation. Sumi will discuss the therapies that have been shown to be effective, as well as those that appear to be ineffective or harmful.

Metformin is often prescribed in the treatment of diabetes, but it does more than lower blood glucose levels. Dr. Peng will discuss the cardiovascular benefits of metformin, in order to provide a deeper understanding of this useful medication.

This talk will examine factors that contribute to diabetes burnout, including what role the healthcare team may play in perpetuating diabetes burnout, and what strategies can be implemented to address burnout by the patient, and in what ways the healthcare team can facilitate managing burnout in patients with diabetes.
