February 18th NCMGMA-NCMSF Webinar: DiabetesFreeNC

February Lunch & Learn Webinar
DiabetesFreeNC

February 18, 2020 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM

More than 84 million Americans, or 1 in 3 adults, has prediabetes, and the majority of them don’t know they have it. Diabetes has reached epidemic proportions, and if prediabetes is left undetected and untreated, the progression to diabetes will continue to place a tremendous strain on physicians, clinical practices and health care costs associated with diabetes care and management.

More About this Webinar

Through the statewide initiative in North Carolina to prevent type 2 diabetes called DiabetesFreeNC, physicians and care teams have an opportunity to support their patients with prediabetes with a free or low-cost, evidence-based National Diabetes Prevention Program. This presentation will address the growing epidemic of type 2 diabetes in primary care and will discuss actions that physicians and care teams can take immediately to identify and manage their patients with prediabetes, including referral to an evidence-based lifestyle change program.
