CE: .75 CE

Women at risk for and with diabetes face unique cardiometabolic challenges throughout their reproductive lifespans. Prioritizing identification of the different risk characteristics that may emerge at varied phases of a woman’s life is critical for clinicians in order to initiate timely health promotion interventions aimed at cardiometabolic risk reduction. To ensure long-term health and wellness from menarche and through menopause, each client encounter is an opportunity for the DCES to provide anticipatory guidance on cardiometabolic risk and individualized risk reduction strategies. This presentation will apply an interdisciplinary lens for proactively identifying, preventing, and managing emerging cardiometabolic risk across the female lifespan.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
  • Identify 3 factors that may contribute to enhanced cardiometabolic risk in women during major lifespan milestones.
  • Summarize evidence-based lifestyle interventions that influence cardiometabolic risk across a woman’s lifespan.
  • Apply evidence-based therapeutic interventions to manage cardiometabolic risk in women at varied phases during the lifespan.
