Health Tuesday: Early prediction and prevention of diabetes

Diabetes is a growing health issue that affects almost half a billion people globally and the incidence of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are growing each year.

As many of the health issues related to diabetes can be prevented or mitigated by early intervention, it is of ever-growing importance to diagnose at risk people early and aim to prevent full-blown diabetes whenever possible.

Join our Health Tuesday event to learn more about the recent development in the prediction and prevention of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
