Learn and Connect: Diabetes & health inequalities - What is beyond Metformin

Diabetes and health inequalities has remained an area of critical concern in health care. A significant percentage of NHS budget goes into diabetes care, emphasizing the need for effective management and addressing health inequalities. This can only be achieved by creating awareness, education, and targeted interventions. It is crucial to be aware of the Factors contributing to health inequalities in diabetes, the difficulties our patients face in identifying the healthy options and how to mitigate these factors and address them. Our guest speaker, Dr Almas Saleem Agha, will be discussing diabetes care and health inequalities. The most effective diabetes management of our patients will be explored.
