Connecting with IDF Experts event brings expertise to eight cities across China

07 November 2024

Following the success of our  face-to-face dialogue with experts in China, a blended format, “Connect to IDF Experts — 2024 Diabetes Academic Exchange Conference”, was jointly organised by IDF and the Beijing Medical and Health Foundation on 19 October.

The event gathered 115 endocrinologists in eight cities across China — Shenyang, Beijing, Jinan, Xi’an, Nanjing, Chengdu, Hangzhou, and Shenzhen — to participate in academic exchange with IDF experts.

Expert speakers, including Professor Roopa Mehta, Professor Antonio Ceriello, and Professor Per-Henrik Groop, shared valuable insights through lectures and interactive discussions.

Presentation topics included:

  • The epidemiology and interconnected impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D)
  • KDIGO and ADA guideline recommendations for individuals with T2D and CKD
  • Clinical research on the renal benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA)
  • Techniques for excelling in academic presentations

Attendees explored these topics in detail during an informative follow-up Q&A session chaired by Professors Ji Linong, Cao Yanli, Sun Yu, Li Xiaofeng, Li Ling, Yu Yerong, Wu Xiaohong, and Lin Xiahong.

With lively exchanges and in-depth discussions, the conference fostered an atmosphere of active learning and professional growth, underscoring IDF’s commitment to advancing diabetes care worldwide through collaborative education and expert guidance.
