The field of diabetes mellitus is rapidly expanding. In the past decade several new medications and new glucose monitoring and insulin delivery systems have been developed and approved for use in clinical practice. It is challenging for non-endocrinologists to keep abreast with new literature and applications of new technology. This session will review the most relevant and current aspects of the management of diabetes mellitus. 

Upon completion of this session, learners should be able to:

• Select pharmacologic agents that provide the most benefits to patients with diabetes in a personalized manner;
• Define the different types of diabetes technology and its clinical indications.
