Introduction

This meeting is aimed at all branches of medicine from clinicians to basic scientists interested in diabetes and osteoporosis. The objective would be to bridge the gap and explore the pathophysiology linking these diseases and forge an alliance with all health care professionals involved in treating the huge number of patients suffering from diabetes and osteoporosis.

Overview

Diabetes is one of the fasting growing diseases in the western world and is becoming a huge problem in the emerging economic power houses such as India and Asia and particularly China. The numbers of patients is are staggering and the rate of newly diagnosed diabetics continues to grow. This is especially as Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2) is associated with obesity which in itself is becoming a global health problem.

Osteoporosis is another disease which is increasing due to aging populations and an accompanying increase in fractures. There are approximately 1.5 million fractures per year in the USA .The population suffering low bone density is about 44 million, of which about 14 million are osteoporotic. The cost of the disease has been estimated to be in the region of $ 22 billion annually. The mortality after a hip fracture is around 50 % in the first year. Morbidity is accompanied also includes loss of independence. Despite effective drugs reducing the fracture burden by about 50-60% the disease is still not recognized ,diagnosed, or treated.

This meeting is aimed at all branches of medicine from clinicians to basic scientists interested in both diseases. The objective would be to bridge the gap and explore the pathophysiology linking these diseases and forge an alliance with all health care professionals involved in treating the huge number of patients suffering from diabetes and osteoporosis.

Learning objectives

By attending this live educational meeting the learners will be able to:

  • Assess fracture risk in diabetic patients
  • Utilise the latest pathophysiology of bone fragility in diabetes
  • Utilise the latest diagnostic tools and treatment options for diabetes related fractures
