AB  - Diabetes is one of the most costly and burdensome chronic diseases, and its 
      therapy and management have become increasingly complex. The incidence of type 2 
      diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a multiorgan disorder, is increasing at an epidemic 
      rate in the United States and worldwide. Despite numerous scientific and medical 
      advances, less than half of the population with T2DM has achieved the American 
      Diabetes Association-recommended glycated hemoglobin level goal of < 7%, which is 
      necessary to optimally manage the disease to prevent and minimize complications. 
      There are many patient- and clinician-determined barriers that hinder patients 
      from achieving target blood glucose levels. Therefore, it is imperative for 
      health care professionals who treat patients with T2DM (and those at risk for 
      developing T2DM) to have an enhanced knowledge base of the current 
      pathophysiology, treatment options, and clinical guidelines for T2DM and its 
      related conditions.
