Editor’s Note, DCMS #127: Sick-day Rules for Diabetes Patients

It seems that every couple of weeks we are sharing new guidelines for treating problems related to diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and the like.

This week our Clinical Text from Diabetic Emergencies gives you real case studies so you can get a better understanding of the complexities of sick-day management.

Our Disaster Averted looks at how the business side of pump sales may have a negative impact on patient care, and our Homerun Slides continue to update you on diabetes with some specifics on incretins. In our Mastery In Minutes video, CDE Debby Johnson explains why sometimes positive feedback can be the best reward.
