The Huddle: Conversations with the Diabetes Care Team

Eileen Egan, DNP, FNP-C, BC-ADM, CDCES, FADCES joins The Huddle to share her expertise about the interplay between weight and glycemic management in people with Type 2 diabetes, the importance of meeting glycemic and weight goals early after a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis, as well as best practices for helping people stay motivated and engaged. This episode was made possible with support from Lilly, A Medicine Company.
