Education is vital to supporting people with diabetes to manage their own condition. This course looks at how to plan and deliver comprehensive, ongoing diabetes education effectively.
Surgical intervention to help manage or even reverse type 2 diabetes has gained credence in recent years. This course looks at the theory and the practice.
Transplants of insulin-producing islets offer the hope of glucose regulation without daily insulin injections. This course looks at advances in this exciting field of diabetes treatment and the challenges still to come.
As the incidence of type 2 diabetes continues to explode worldwide, this course gets to grips with the maladapted process at its heart: insulin resistance.
This course examines hypoglycaemia, a complication of therapy that has a profound impact on the day-to-day lives and well-being of people who treat their diabetes with insulin.
This course has been created to introduce you to the diagnosis, consequences and treatment of diabetic kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy).

This course outlines key aspects of this important but sometimes neglected complication of diabetes.
From diet and exercise to smoking cessation, lifestyle intervention continues to be a mainstay of diabetes care. This course looks at how to promote lasting behaviour changes for better health.
The value attached to real-world evidence (RWE) in clinical decision making has significantly increased in recent years. Using examples taken from diabetes treatment, this course looks at what RWE is, why it is important and who can benefit from it.
In this course, insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitoring are discussed using real life examples to help you understand how this technology works optimally.
Using practical case studies and international guidelines, this course introduces you to treating people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes before, during and after Ramadan.
This course focuses on cardiovascular health – one of the most significant and challenging aspects of care for type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

This course has been developed to introduce you to the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and to explore the possible causes of the condition.
Insulin-secreting beta cells are central to any understanding of diabetes. This course examines their physiology and significance in the disease processes of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
This course introduces you to the current unmet need in type 1 diabetes and explores trial data in the use of adjunct therapies including pramlintide, metformin, liraglutide and SGLT-2 inhibitors.
This course gives you the tools you need to identify and treat diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and to support your patients in avoiding this potentially life-threatening complication.
This course highlights how important an understanding of diabetes in phenotypic terms is to the pursuit of patient-centred care and precision medicine.
In the wake of the diabetes pandemic, prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is on the rise. This course sets out the health implications and potential treatments for this serious but reversible condition.
Exploring conditions commonly associated with type 1 diabetes and the clustering of multiple chronic conditions in type 2 diabetes, this course addresses the significant health challenges posed by such comorbidities and their implications for management.
From the physiology of renal glucose absorption to key outcome trials, this course provides a detailed introduction to this class of diabetes drugs.
Over time, hyperglycaemia can result in damage to the nerves, with severe consequences for health – not just in the feet but all over the body. This course looks at diabetic neuropathy in all its forms.
This course explores the mechanisms by which autoimmune destruction of beta cells results in type 1 diabetes, and looks how the process might be arrested.
Therapeutic inertia has been implicated as a significant contributory factor in suboptimal diabetes management. This course explores the phenomenon – defined as the failure to advance or de-intensify therapy when appropriate.
This course has been created to introduce you to time in range, a new concept in glycaemic management that challenges the role of HbA1c.
Our educational program consists of individual modules that are packaged as courses. CME credits are awarded per completed module. Although we do advise to follow the module order within a course, you may complete them in any order.
You must review all chapters, complete the self-marked assessments (knowledge checks and/or case studies) and pass the final assessment with 80 % or greater – you have five attempts for this. Furthermore, you will need to fill in our feedback form to before receiving access to download your credit certificate – this is a UEMS requirement.
For assistance or to provide feedback, please contact info@easd.org.
You can download the credit certificate once you have filled in the feedback form after passing the final assessment on the last page of a module or in the course progress section of your profile page.
The EASD e-Learning platform has several supporters – they are mentioned on the EASD e-Learning homepage.
The EASD e-Learning course programme is made possible thanks to the invaluable contributions of leading researchers and clinicians who generously share their expertise to improve the lives of people living with diabetes. All authors, reviewers, and assessment setters who have contributed to the EASD e-Learning modules are acknowledged in the About Us – Meet Our Experts section.
All experts who have generously contributed to the EASD e-Learning course programme transparently disclose any potential dualities of interest in their biographies. These can be accessed by clicking on the contributor profiles on the module overview page or in the About Us – Meet Our Experts section.
All case studies in EASD e-Learning modules are fictitious teaching examples. Any resemblance to the case history of a real person with diabetes is purely coincidental.
