Targeting optimal HbA1c level in type 2 diabetes using appropriate blood glucose lowering medicine
This Quality Improvement Activity enables you to review the glycaemic management of your type 2 diabetes patients and identify those who may benefit from initiation or intensification of blood glucose lowering medicines.

This activity has been endorsed by The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners (RNZCGP) and has been approved for up to 10 CME credits for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) purposes.
