Summary
Healthcare professionals can use new online training to prevent hypoglycemia from diabetes medications. This training emphasizes shared decision-making and teach-back methods to improve patient understanding and outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Medical Education
- Pharmacology
Background:
- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services identified preventing hypoglycemia from diabetes agents as a priority.
- Adverse drug events related to diabetes medications pose a significant public health challenge.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate an online training module for healthcare professionals on preventing adverse drug events from diabetes agents.
- To support the National Action Plan for Adverse Drug Event Prevention.
Main Methods:
- Developed a web-based eLearning module incorporating health literacy principles.
- Utilized video scenarios demonstrating shared decision-making and teach-back methods.
- Conducted usability testing and a pilot evaluation with a 36-item assessment.
Main Results:
- The training module received 24,334 unique page views within six months of release.
- Over 90% of participants earning continuing education credit reported applicability to their practice.
Conclusions:
- Online training modules effectively educate healthcare professionals on preventing adverse drug events.
- This approach shows promise in translating policy into improved patient outcomes for diabetes management.

The therapy for diabetes aims to alleviate hyperglycemia-related symptoms, prevent acute metabolic decompensation, and reduce chronic end-organ complications. Glycemic control is evaluated through short-term (self-monitoring, continuous glucose monitoring) and long-term (A1c, fructosamine) metrics, enabling near real-time tracking of blood glucose levels and reflecting glycemic control over specific time frames.

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels due to inadequate insulin production, insulin resistance, or both. The condition affects millions worldwide and can significantly impact their health and quality of life.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...

5.5K
Type 2 diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance, arises when the insulin receptors on cells lose responsiveness to insulin, diminishing the cell's capacity to take up glucose, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. To receive a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes, a series of blood glucose tests are necessary to assess whether the blood glucose falls within normal parameters. If the result is out of the normal range, a patient may be diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic, depending on the...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...
