Early blood sugar (blood glucose) management leads to better health outcomes for people with type 2 diabetes. But therapeutic inertia—or delays in advancing treatment—can keep people from reaching their A1C goals. Having the right conversations during health center visits can help patients overcome this inertia and get patients’ A1C where it needs to be. In this NCHPH webinar, we defined therapeutic inertia, discussed tips to engage patients in their diabetes management, and reviewed self-assessment tools and conversation guides on therapeutic inertia.
