On-Demand Webinar: The Time is NOW: Incorporating T1D Screening and Treatment Options into DSMES
This live webinar, "The Time is NOW: Incorporating T1D Screening and Treatment Options into DSMES," will give Diabetes Care and Education Specialists and healthcare professionals updated insights on Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). It covers T1D's three stages, key symptoms for early detection, best practices in screening high-risk individuals, and monitoring strategies. Attendees will learn about the latest therapies like immune-modulating agents such as Tzield and how they can help delay stage 3 T1D. The session also pinpoints when to discuss screening and treatment options during the DSMES cycle, emphasizing early intervention and personalized care to improve patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives
- Identify and describe the three stages of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), including the progression and distinguishing features of each stage.
- Recognize key signs and symptoms associated with each stage of T1D to facilitate early detection and timely intervention.
- Understand the role and timing of screening for T1D, particularly for individuals at highest risk, and know the appropriate monitoring strategies based on screening results.
- Discuss the latest developments in T1D therapy, including immune-modulating agents like Tzield, and explain how these therapies can delay the onset of stage 3 T1D and preserve beta cell function.
- List critical points during the Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) cycle when Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (DCES) should discuss screening and therapeutic options with people with diabetes and their families.
- Emphasize the importance of early detection, intervention, and individualized therapeutic planning in improving outcomes and quality of life for people with T1D.

On-Demand: Screening and Lifestyle Management of Liver Health: Incorporating Liver Health into Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES)
Individuals with diabetes, particularly those with obesity, are at an elevated risk for complications such as Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD). This webinar, designed for health care professionals at ERP sites, provides an overview of MASLD, including its fundamental aspects, associated risk factors, and therapeutic approaches encompassing nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and pharmacologic interventions. Additionally, it addresses management strategies for advanced conditions, such as Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), and offers guidance on integrating liver health considerations into DSMES educational practices.
Please Note: There are no CEs granted for this webinar.
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
- Explain the relationship between MASLD/MASH and diabetes/cardiometabolic disease.
- Identify key risk factors for MASLD/MASH.
- Apply current evidence‑based strategies for disease prevention and management.
- Assess how nutritional factors influence MASLD/MASH progression and treatment.
- Implement practical lifestyle interventions to improve liver health and integrate them into DSMES.
