ForwardRemission of Type 2 Diabetes and Reversal of Insulin Resistance with Lifestyle Medicine
The Remission of Type 2 Diabetes and Reversal of Insulin Resistance with Lifestyle Medicine course, offered by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM), provides an evidence-based overview of lifestyle medicine as a therapeutic approach for adults with type 2 diabetes. Designed for an interprofessional healthcare audience, the course reviews the pathophysiology of insulin resistance, consensus definitions of type 2 diabetes remission, and the scientific evidence supporting lifestyle-based interventions. Learners analyze the effectiveness of comprehensive lifestyle medicine approaches, apply guideline-informed interventions to clinical scenarios, evaluate patient-specific factors influencing remission and safe medication deprescribing, and integrate team-based strategies to support sustained remission where appropriate.
Target Audience
This course is applicable for interprofessional healthcare team including physicians, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, physician associates, registered dietitians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, pharmacists, other health professionals working with chronic disease prevention or treatment, certified health coaches, and clinicians in training.
