Two of the most prevalent diseases worldwide are type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and coronary artery disease. T2DM occurs when there is a decrease in insulin sensitivity, leading to higher amounts of glucose being present in the bloodstream. Coronary artery disease, or heart disease, develops over time as plaque builds up within the coronary arteries, causing a higher likelihood of developing myocardial infarction in the future. Though both of these conditions have specific disease processes, developing T2DM has been associated with a significantly higher incidence of developing coronary artery disease. This activity delves into the global impact of these 2 diseases, emphasizing their interconnection and the heightened risk of coronary artery disease in individuals with T2DM. With a staggering prevalence and economic burden, affecting millions worldwide, these conditions demand proactive prevention strategies. This session reviews the management of T2DM and coronary artery disease, focusing on the pivotal role of an interprofessional healthcare team in mitigating risk factors and preventing these debilitating conditions. Participants will gain insights into the significance of lifestyle modifications in averting T2DM and heart disease, considering their substantial impact on morbidity, mortality, and economic burdens. Pharmacological interventions are also explored. Learners will be equipped with a comprehensive understanding of the global health implications of these conditions and practical insights into implementing effective preventative measures within an interprofessional framework.
