JDC monthly diabetes newsletter

Hi,

Diabetes India 2019 Congress is planned to be conducted at Jaipur from 28th February to 3rd March 2019. All our interested readers may please save the dates. Organizers have also invited applications from young physicians practicing diabetes to join Young Diabetologists "Genious" group program and from adults with T1DM to join for Young Leaders in DiabetesIndia program.

Diabetes India Task Force has created and published the Indian Clinical Guidelines for CGM to make more physicians and patients in India aware of the advantages, clinical indications, accuracy evaluation of the technology and interpretation of the CGM results.

A recent study has introduced a new metric time in range (TIR), derived from continuous glucose monitoring and it seems to be strongly related to microvascular complication risks in individuals with diabetes and is predicted to be a valuable outcome measure in clinical trials.

Please read on to grab more interesting diabetes updates.
