'Behind the Veil… Journeys in Chronic Healthcare with Dr Stan Landau and Team'

The CDE Academy is proud to invite you to register for our next Journal Club Webinar. Each session is real-time, online and CPD-accredited.

All our topics are carefully selected to be of interest to all members of the wider interdisciplinary diabetes team.

Glucose in motion-how exercise can help shape diabetes management

In the quest for metabolic stability, we often prescribe exercise as a generic directive, yet the clinical potency of physical activity lies in its dose and delivery. This live CME session, invites the diabetes care team to move beyond traditional moderate-intensity recommendations and explore the transformative power of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT).

Drawing from the latest umbrella reviews and meta-analyses, we will examine why HIIT is emerging as a superior tool for the multidisciplinary team. Clinical evidence demonstrates that HIIT can elicit significant improvements in the A1c, often surpassing the results of moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), while requiring significantly less time. By stimulating rapid adaptations in mitochondrial function & skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity, HIIT addresses the core pathophysiology of insulin resistance with surgical precision.

Beyond the laboratory metrics, we find a profound philosophical shift: the economy of effort. For many patients, lack of time is the primary barrier to health. HIIT reclaims this time, offering a potent physiological stimulus in short, manageable bursts. This session will equip the entire diabetes care team with the evidence-based protocols needed to safely implement HIIT, moving from a "one-size-fits-all" activity plan to a high-performance metabolic intervention.

We will bridge the gap between cardiorespiratory fitness and glycaemic management, proving that for our patients, intensity is not just a challenge, it is a catalyst for healing.
