Diabetes Conference 2019
The YDA Diabetes Conference 2019 was held on 9 November. It was our honour to provide an all-inclusive forum for patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals to hear about the latest development and management techniques for young people with diabetes.
The conference kicked off with the keynote “Advances in Diabetes” presented by Professor Ronald Ma, followed by six interactive workshops on topics centred on the impact of diabetes. These ranged from practical information to emotional concerns about living with diabetes. Of these, we have prepared videos of the highlights of Prof Ronald Ma, Dr Peter Tong and Dr Elaine Kwan’s talks, please find them below.
