Join us on Tuesday 6 May 2025 for a one-day interactive online conference covering a range of clinical diabetes topics.

Type 2 diabetes continues to be a significant global health challenge, with its management evolving dramatically over the past 25 years. From groundbreaking advancements in medications and technologies to a deeper understanding of its diverse forms and complications, diabetes care has become both more effective and more complex. This one day educational event is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate this ever-changing landscape. Through engaging presentations, case studies, and expert insights, we aim to simplify the latest evidence and provide practical tools to enhance patient care.

This conference is designed for busy healthcare professionals seeking to stay at the forefront of diabetes care. Whether you’re looking to refresh your knowledge, learn new skills, or gain confidence in managing complex cases, this day promises to be both informative and inspiring.

Topics include:

  • Type 2 diabetes management: a journey through the years (2003-2025)
  • From theory to practice: diabetes management through case studies
  • Practicalities of starting insulin in type 2 diabetes
  • Continuous/flash glucose monitoring in the management of diabetes: learning through case-studies
  • Managing less common forms of diabetes: LADA, MODY, secondary diabetes, steroid induced diabetes
  • Management of diabetic foot ulcers and peripheral neuropathy

Learning objectives:

  • Gain a comprehensive understanding of how the diagnosis, management, and treatment of type 2 diabetes have transformed over the past two decades.
  • Learn the basic practical steps and considerations for initiating insulin therapy in a primary care setting, ensuring confidence in managing this critical aspect of diabetes care.
  • Dive into real-world case studies that bring theory to life, helping you apply the latest evidence and guidelines to everyday clinical scenarios.
  • Explore the role of CGM in diabetes management through practical examples, and learn how to interpret and utilise this data to optimise patient outcomes.
  • Delve into the diagnosis and management of rarer forms of diabetes, such as MODY and LADA, and understand their unique challenges and treatment approaches.
  • Learn evidence-based strategies for treating and preventing common complications, such as peripheral neuropathy and foot ulcers with a focus on improving quality of life for patients.
