• Discuss recent trends in the epidemiology of Type 2 diabetes, with a particular focus on the impact of minorities and the elderly.
• Explain the pathophysiology of Type 2 diabetes.
• Discuss data supporting the importance of aggressive glycemic control in Type 2 diabetes.
• Describe kinetics of insulin replacement in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
• Describe current strategies for the use of different types of insulin, including basal, prandial, and concentrated insulin in reaching glycemic targets.
• Discuss barriers and misconceptions about insulin therapy as well as strategies to combat them, including improved communication with patients.
