In this sense, Dr. Flora López Simarro, coordinator of the Diabetes Working Group of the Spanish Society of Primary Care Physicians (Semergen), stressed that new families of drugs have been introduced that have different mechanisms of action from each other and withLimitations of use depending on the characteristics of each patient.
Diagnostic recommendations for diabetes
As a consequence, the Semergen Diabetes Working Group has updated the 'DOC DOC in Diabetes ’.Diagnostic recommendations on clinical management and therapeutic approach to these patients have been introduced.Among the key issues that have been incorporated, the presentation of the marketed insulins, the role of new insulins, the beginning of insulinization, insulin intensification guidelines, insulinization in special situations, and the therapeutic education of insulinization, are highlighted.
Llisterri: "Good practices are synonymous with early diagnosis, monitoring, effective approach and reduction of long -term complications"

Hence the importance of implementing training and research actions, such as the Doc Diabetes Semergen, which help the family doctor and family doctorThey are linked to the chronic complications of diabetes, "concluded Dr. José Luis Llisterri, president of Semergen.
Therapeutic alternatives in diabetes
Likewise, Semergen has developed a training cycle of workshops nationwide in order to deepen the sections of the document referring to insulinization.This is intended to update the knowledge of primary care doctors on the health management of patients with type 2 diabetes, to know which therapeutic alternatives have to be implemented in each patient based on their individualized characteristics.
This project, which began on March 28 in Burgos, is carrying out new appointments in other Spanish cities, which will be taught by members of the Semergen Diabetes Working Group.Thus, these training workshops are based on the real practice of the consultations of family doctors in primary care and "will be developed in such a way that attendees can be part of them," as Javier Mediavilla, a member of the group of group of the group ofSemergen diabetes work.
