Having a serious illness presents unique challenges for managing diabetes. This session emphasizes the importance of aligning treatment and management with the principles of palliative care. Using a case study approach, we will examine a real-world scenario that illustrates how patient-centered strategies can reduce health-related suffering and improve quality of life. Key topics will include evidence-based guidelines addressing balancing glycemic management with symptom relief, strategies for tailoring diabetes regimens in serious illness, and the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing physical, emotional, and psychosocial needs.
