In this video exclusive, Yehuda Handelsman, MD, FACP, FNLA, FASCP, MACE, talks with Vivian A. Fonseca, MD, about new multispecialty practice recommendations for managing complex patients with diabetes and cardiorenal metabolic disorders.
Handelsman is medical director and principal investigator of the Metabolic Institute of America in Tarzana, California, and chair of WCIRDC. Fonseca is professor of medicine, chief of the endocrinology section and vice dean for clinical research at Tulane University in New Orleans.
The recommendations, developed by the Diabetes, CardioRenal Metabolic Diseases Task Force for use by primary care physicians and specialists, comprehensively cover 18 interrelated cardiometabolic disorders.
“We’ve tried very hard to make it a practical, brief approach,” Fonseca. “Here [experts from different specialties] critiqued each other and tried to bring common ground so that the practicing clinician can utilize the information.”
The recommendations will be presented at WCIRDC on December 3 and simultaneously published in the Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications, of which Fonseca is editor-in-chief.
