Join us for a dinner workshop to participate in a panel discussion on “Good Early Control in Type 2 Diabetes: How GPs can make the biggest difference to the lives of people with type 2 diabetes” on Friday 18th May commencing at 5.15pm at The Dome Mezzanine Level.

Session Synopsis:
Recent evidence suggests that good early management of glycaemia confers cardiovascular protection and a survival benefit to people with T2DM, above and beyond the reduction in microvascular disease. This session aims to review that evidence and highlight strategies that can be used by GPs to implement good early control of T2DM in their practice. It will include an explanation on “Metabolic Memory” (also known as the “Legacy Effect”), clarify the Australian Diabetes Society’s position on HbA1c targets in T2DM and review the therapies that are recommended for use early in the disease to achieve those HbA1c targets. The session will conclude with small group discussions on implementation gaps in practice and discuss systems that GPs could put in place to improve the early care of people with T2DM.
Registering early is advised, as places are limited.
