Join clinicians and researchers on diabetes to this Perth-based event and learn about the latest on diabetes research.
It is estimated that about 1.2 million Australians are affected by some form of diabetes, such as Type 1 diabetes, which has a genetic and environmental background, and type 2 diabetes, which is the most common form, and is largely preventable by optimal lifestyle choices.
Overall, diabetes contributed to 16,700 deaths in 2018, according to data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
To learn about the current research on diabetes and chat to colleagues, doctors are invited to take part of Diabetes Research annual breakfast, where two new WA-based research project grants will receive an award, as part of the annual World Diabetes Day celebration.
