Abstract
People living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at risk of developing diabetes-related complications such as chronic kidney disease (CKD). Screening for CKD is considered the standard of diabetes care, but less than half of people living with diabetes in the United States receive guideline-directed kidney disease testing. Despite recent pharmacologic advances for the treatment of this condition, insufficient screening delays both diagnosis and treatment of diabetes-related CKD and increases the risk of poor outcomes. The nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist finerenone is an orally administered drug that, when taken with the maximum tolerated dose of a renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor, can provide kidney and cardiovascular benefits for people living with T2DM-related CKD. Yet, uptake of this drug has been slow. Increasing awareness of finerenone may encourage its use in clinical practice. Diabetes educators are healthcare professionals (HCPs) with extensive diabetes care experience who encourage diabetes self-management and provide patients with education on the prevention of diabetes-related complications. Diabetes educators bridge knowledge and care gaps among other HCPs by facilitating communication between members of the care team and raising awareness on the importance of CKD prevention and screening. Additionally, diabetes educators reinforce the clinical evidence behind available treatments to promote adherence to guidelines. Here, the evidence for finerenone in T2DM-related CKD and the role of the diabetes educator from both patient and HCP perspectives are reviewed.Graphical abstract available for this article.
期刊介绍：
Diabetes Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all areas of diabetes. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Diabetes Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
