TI  - Type 2 diabetes mellitus: practical approaches for primary care physicians.
PG  - S3-12; quiz S13
AB  - The incidence and prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have reached 
      epidemic proportions in the United States. In addition to growing numbers of 
      individuals in whom T2DM has been diagnosed, in numerous others T2DM or 
      prediabetes remains undiagnosed or is likely to develop in the near future. 
      Identification of individuals at risk for T2DM, as well as those who may already 
      have the disease but in whom it has not yet been diagnosed, is a key element in 
      reducing the overall burden of this disease. Early initiation of treatment can 
      prevent or delay disease progression and reduce the risk for diabetes-related 
      complications. Achieving evidence-based clinical goals by implementing effective 
      management strategies substantially reduces the risk of morbidity and mortality 
      and ultimately improves patient outcomes. A review of the latest and most 
      effective approaches to T2DM management and practical suggestions for 
      implementing treatment strategies in order to provide optimal T2DM care will be 
      presented.
