Understanding and addressing the changing health needs of people living with diabetes

10 October 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

The number of people living with diabetes, and particularly type 2 diabetes is growing, with the total number expected to be approximately 700 million worldwide by 2030. Those living with diabetes are generally living longer but with an increasingly broad range of conditions impacting their health and lives. Many of these conditions are not part of routine clinical and prevention guidelines.

Recent research has found that in addition to well-established complications of diabetes such as heart disease and stroke, broader conditions such as back pain, osteoarthritis and depression are increasingly common in those living with type 2 diabetes. There is an urgent need to better understand the impact of increasing multiple long-term conditions (multimorbidity) and the evolving needs of patient groups in order to address inequalities and deliver increasingly patient-centred and holistic care.

How can health systems adapt to the changing health needs of people living with diabetes to improve health and reduce inequalities?

Join our webinar where we will explore these issues, emerging data and current efforts to address these challenges.
