​Diabetes Mellitus
Across the Ages

The UDOP Annual International Diabetes Conference is where the most up-to-date and notable developments in the field of Diabetes Care and Research are featured. For #UDOP2023 our focus is on Diabetes Mellitus Across the Ages.

Foreword

Once more to the breach, dear friends, as we gather to review the maladies of diabetes mellitus in our population.

We're taking a look at the causes and development of the varied presentations of the condition and the latest approaches to both prevention and management across the age groups.

The lingering presence of Covid-19 is indeed a chronic public health problem presenting new challenges for dealing with communicable and non-communicable conditions in one fell swoop.

It appears that this double barrel situation will be with us for some time and is indeed daunting!

It appears that this double barrel situation will be with us for some time and is indeed daunting!

Yet looming on the horizon, if not already upon us, is the unparalleled effect of climate change. This brings all health practitioners to a new breach which will require the best of technological support and the application of artificial intelligence as we seek to corral and contain the crisis.

It is thus that we shall be considering in a holistic manner the topic: “Diabetes Mellitus in the Era of Climate Change. Can We Adapt?”, come 2024.

Meanwhile, let me extend our usual heartfelt welcome to you all, as we get set to look over this and the next few years at the burgeoning burden on the health of our peoples!

Prof the Hon Errol Morrison OJ,
Chair, Organizing Committee, UDOP
