Course Overview
Author: Maureen Sullivan-Tevault, RN, MS, BSN, CEN, CDCES
The purpose of this course is to introduce healthcare professionals to the research findings indicating that the causes and long-term effects of chronic poorly controlled Type 2 diabetes may indeed be directly affecting the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s Disease. In doing so, clinicians will be educated on the importance of early intervention on chronic disease management to lower the incidence of long-term complications.
