The Fifth Annual Diabetes Regional Conference: Reducing Cardiometabolic Risk for the Diabetic Patient, held March 14, welcomed Thomas Giles, MD, Tulane University School of Medicine, and regional experts, who provided evidence-based findings to identify cardiometabolic risk factors in diabetic patients to improve health outcomes and quality of life. 

During this CME activity, the group examined the challenges of coping with diabetes and cardiovascular disease and learned how to optimize drug therapy for these patients without resulting in negative drug interactions.
