Fostering a "Back to Basics" Model in Type 2 Diabetes Care

Host: John J. Russell, MD

Guest: Neil Skolnik, MD

For clinicians managing patients with T2DM, the clinical landscape for standards of care, diagnostic methods and techniques, and treatment options has become increasingly complex. Yet despite this challenge in keeping up to date with the latest recommendations, updated practice guidelines have also made it a point to emphasize "big picture" elements in diabetes care, reinforcing mainstays of treatment that can potentially get overlooked. On this episode, Dr. John Russell welcomes diabetes expert Dr Neil Skolnik, Associate Director of Family Medicine at Abington Jefferson Health, to explore the "Back to Basics" model in diabetes management, with emphasis on individualized therapeutic approaches and lifestyle modification strategies for improving long-term patient outcomes.
