Description

This webinar introduces Diabetes Age® – a new tool that combines medical risk data with patient psychology to motivate patients with t2 diabetes to want to take action and reduce the risks associated with long-term uncontrolled glucose.

Diabetes Age works by:

  1. showing patients how much their raised glucose is ‘ageing’ them, and then

  2. allowing them to see how many ‘years younger’ they could get by getting their glucose under control with lifestyle changes and/or taking medication.

Delivered in a 40-minute bitesize webinar by Dr Mark Cobain and Dr Holly Whelan (Younger Lives – specialists in health behaviour change and healthy ageing)

All delegates who attend will have the opportunity to receive a certificate of participation for CPD and access to presentation slides on submission of evaluation via MedAll.

You will need to be verified to participate in the chat on webinars and for future access to your certificates and any reflective notes you make in your profile.

Verification is available to healthcare professionals globally, you can find out how by clicking here

MEARLY MANAGEMENT OF T2 DIABETES SAVES LIVES HbA1c = 8.4% Early management of type 2 diabetes can result in a 17% and 25% reduction in risk of CVD and all cause mortality respectively over 6 years HbA1c = 6.5% It’s crucial to motivate patients to tightly control their HbA1c and other factors as early as possible Figure LegendSimulated incidence of the composite cardiovascular outcome by treatment group with and without delays in diagnosis and treatment in the ADDITION-Europe trial. *Outcome defined as stroke, MI, revascularization, amputation, or cardiovascular death. The error bars indicate SDs calculated from 100 simulations.

I do it because I enjoy it, I go out, the hour walking sorts the brain out for the day, its relaxing, sometimes I’m out and I’m back before I’ve gone, before I realise.
