Manual with 1 reporting form, 99 pgs.
Get up-to-date evidence-based information, and discover why glycation prevention may be more influential than standard blood glucose management, and why dietary advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is one of the most underutilized strategies in the fight against chronic disease. More specifically you will find out how to:

  • Compare and contrast the formation of endogenous and dietary AGEs
  • Evaluate risk factors to determine which patients are at high risk for AGE-related disease
  • Assess which patients might benefit most from a low-AGE diet and lifestyle
  • Formulate and recommend recipes, menu plans, and lifestyle recommendations to assist patients in reducing total AGE burden
  • Utilize evidence-based recommendations to counsel patients on AGE prevention and treatment

A must read for CDEs.

OVERVIEW AND INSTRUCTIONS

A large bodyf research suggests that glycation may be at the heart of preventing and reversing devastating complications of lifestyle diseases, such as diabetes, cardiac disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer. As the Greek prefix glyc suggests, glycation is a chemical reaction that involves sugar, and these reactions can occur while food is cooked and processed, as well as within the human body. Regardless of the source, glycation reactions lead to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), macromolecules that damage a variety of biological tissues and cellular organelles, including mitochondria, blood vessels, eyes, bones, and the brain. This CPE program reviews the process of glycation and dives into the cutting-edge research about AGEs, including anti-glycation and AGE-reducing strategies for patients and clients. You will also learn why glycation prevention may be more influential than standard blood glucose management, and why a thorough understanding of glycation and AGEs is one of the most underutilized strategies in the fight against chronic disease.
This CPE program is a level 2 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) program approved for 11 continuing professional education units (CPEUs). That means that the reader has a general knowledge of the literature and professional practice in the area covered. The focus of the program is to enhance knowledge and application.
To get the most benefit from this program, we suggest you adhere to the following four steps:
Step 1: Review the objectives for the CPE program.
Step 2: Study each chapter. As you read, think of patients from your own practice who fit the situation described.
Step 3: Assess what you have learned by completing the self-assessment instrument at the end of this CPE program.
Step 4: Compare your answers to the answer key that has been provided. If you score at least 80% (40 questions) correct, you are ready to transfer your answers to the CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION REPORTING FORM. If you scored less than 80% correct, re-read the appropriate sections of the book and re-test yourself until you score at least 80% (40 questions) correct.
After you have successfully completed the program, complete the CPE REPORTING FORM and:
Submit online at www.easyCPEcredits.com,
Or fax to (410) 531-9282,
Or mail to Wolf Rinke Associates, 721 Valley Forge Road #486, Valley Forge, PA 19481
Upon receipt of your CPE Reporting Form, we will email you a Certificate of Completion within 3-5 business days.

OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this CPE program, you will be better able to:

  • Discuss the chemical formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs)
  • Compare and contrast the formation of endogenous and dietary AGEs
  • Apply knowledge of AGE measuring tools to assess a patient’s AGE burden
  • Explain the pathophysiology of AGE-related damage in the human body
  • Evaluate risk factors to determine which patients are at high risk for AGE-related disease
  • Assess which patients might benefit most from a low-AGE diet and lifestyle
  • Evaluate the strengths and limitations of current AGE-related research
  • Apply knowledge gained from the primary research literature to plan evidence-based recommendations for patients
  • Formulate and recommend recipes, menu plans, and lifestyle recommendations to assist patients in reducing total AGE burden
  • Utilize evidence-based recommendations to counsel patients on AGE prevention and treatment
