Detailed Description:

Diabetic microvascular complications (DMC), including retinopathy, nephropathy, and peripheral neuropathy, represent a major cause of morbidity among patients with diabetes. The purpose of this activity is to increase understanding of timely and appropriate screening and diagnostic procedures so that the heavy personal, social, and economic burdens of these conditions may be mitigated.

Learning Objectives:

• List the signs and symptoms of each of the 3 diabetic microvascular complications (DMC), including diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy
• Utilize the appropriate scales and diagnostic instruments available for screening patients with diabetes for diabetic peripheral neuropathy
• Apply appropriate screening practices for diabetic retinopathy and macular edema in clinical practice
• Determine the need for referring patients to a specialist, such as an ophthalmologist, based on results from diabetic retinopathy screening
• Employ standard screening and diagnostic tests for identifying patients with early manifestations of diabetic nephropathy
• Differentiate the sensitivity of various routine screening methods for diabetic nephropathy and determine the need for advanced screening
