Endocrine and Metabolism PRN Focus Session — ​Beyond Type 1 and Type 2: Unveiling the Hidden Faces of Diabetes

This session aims to broaden clinical pharmacists' understanding of the diverse spectrum of diabetes types beyond the commonly discussed classifications. This presentation will delve into lesser-known forms, such as Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY), Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), and gestational diabetes, as well as rare syndromic and secondary diabetes. Through an exploration of pathophysiology, diagnostic challenges, and tailored management strategies, attendees will gain insights into the complexities of these conditions. Armed with this knowledge, pharmacists will be better equipped to optimize patient care, support individualized treatment plans, and collaborate effectively with interdisciplinary teams.
