About this event

The purpose of this event is to explore the interconnectivity between diabetes and obesity. The discussions will underline the importance of integrating obesity management in diabetes care and explore why managing obesity is relevant throughout the diabetes care continuum—from prevention and early detection to delaying complications and improving long-term outcomes.
