Diabetes Health Fair Exhibits & Networking

Type 1 and Type 2 Informative Session
9:00 – 9:50AM (PT)
Diabetes is not the enemy; the complications pose the real threat. We created sessions focused on the proactive steps to prevent and treat complications such as eye, kidney, nerve, and heart issues. Early intervention and aggressive management are crucial in preventing these conditions from reaching end-stage severity. Learn about both time-tested and most recent strategies, including the role of medications like GLP-1 and SGLT-2 inhibitors in maintaining a healthy and happy life. No matter your Type—Type 1 or Type 2—we’re all in this together, united in our fight for a healthier, longer life.
