Diabetes is a complex and intensive condition people live with and manage 24/7, 365 days of the year, with changing requirements over time and new evidence into new management strategies also being factors. People with diabetes spend approximately 1% of their time a year with their healthcare professionals and only a fraction of that time with dietitians. This webinar will focus on how to make the most from your consultations with people living with all forms of diabetes, to support and empower them in their self-management and care.
This webinar is brought to you by the Diabetes Interest Group (2024).
