DALLAS, Oct. 12, 2026 — The American Heart Association has expanded its education portfolio to help clinicians put the new cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome guideline into practice. New resources range from 15-minute micro-learnings to in-depth courses and practical tools. Continuing education credit offerings vary. Cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic conditions, like Type 2 diabetes and obesity, often overlap, making coordinated care increasingly important. Since 2023, the American Heart Association, a relentless force changing the future of health for everyone everywhere, has been a leader in advancing CKM health by convening experts across science, clinical care and industry and developing resources to help improve diagnosis and management of these interconnected conditions.

Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) could transform diabetes management for millions of Americans with type 2 diabetes who don't take insulin, according to findings published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The clinical trial found that adults using CGMs spent approximately five additional hours each day within their target blood sugar range compared with those receiving routine care. Nearly twice as many CGM users also achieved an A1c level below 7%, a common treatment goal for people with diabetes.
