OVERVIEW

This webinar brings together four expert healthcare professionals to examine the role of ketone monitoring and management as a critical safety strategy in outpatient diabetes care. The session focuses on early identification and response to elevated ketones to help prevent diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and support timely clinical decision‑making.

Attendees will gain practical, real‑world guidance on ketone monitoring and management across diabetes populations, including people living with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. The session equips participants with strategies to identify elevated ketones early, interpret results, and take appropriate outpatient actions to reduce DKA risk. This session will review the current evidence and clinical guidance, including key highlights from the June 2024 consensus report from the American Diabetes Association® (ADA) on hyperglycemic crises, and emphasizes actionable approaches to support safer care and improved patient outcomes.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After completing this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Identify clinical situations and risk factors for ketone production and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) across populations, including type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. 
• Recognize key indicators, factors, and ketone level ranges associated with increased DKA risk.  
• Recognize appropriate outpatient approaches to ketone monitoring and early response to elevated ketones to reduce the risk of DKA.

Eden M. Miller, DO, D-ACD,
D-ABOM

Chief Executive Officer

Diabetes and Obesity Care 

Bend, Oregon 

Dr. Miller has cultivated a special interest in diabetes after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes while in medical school. From that personal experience, her practice has evolved into a subspecialty in diabetes care.
  
An impassioned speaker, her adage for care is that she “only succeeds as a provider if she turns patients into experts on their own disease.” Dr. Miller believes that a “physiologic patient individualized approach to diabetes intervention is crucial to success. She feels that if our nation is to triumph over the ravages of diabetes, a collaborative effort, unhindered by fear of personal scrutiny, and barriers for effective treatment need to be removed”.
