its place among 19 specialist conferences accredited by HAAD for Continuous

“This is an important gathering of the world leading experts in
diabetes. Among other topics, we are all ready to discuss the critical
challenges facing doctors treating diabetes and its related complications, and
how we can better prepare them to manage diabetes at a regional level.”
According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the UAE
currently ranks 11th worldwide, with 18.9 per cent of the population
living with diabetes.
Professor Meeran said that the conference is ideal for general
practitioners and family physicians, as well as specialists. “The
programme is set to provide updates in the guidelines, treatment and management
of diabetes, including the challenges and insights into complementary lifestyle
choices. Topics up for discussion include
genetics and Bariatric Surgery.”
The
Middle East Diabetes Conference is one of several specialist events from ICLDC this year. As the conference gets
underway a group of doctors will also be taking the coveted Membership of the
Royal College of Physicians (MRCP) parts 1 and 2 at ICLDC’s Abu Dhabi facility.
This follows the European Society of Endocrinology’s Clinical Update for more
than 100 practitioners, earlier this month.
