Type 2 Diabetes Demystified On Demand
The 2026 NICE update has fundamentally changed the way we approach type 2 diabetes. Moving beyond a primary focus on HbA1c, care is now centred on individualised treatment, cardiorenal protection and using newer therapies appropriately.
This practical half-day online course breaks down the latest evidence and guidance, helping you build confidence in assessing risk, making a diagnosis, navigating diabetes management and treatment pathways and supporting people living with type 2 diabetes.
