Each person with diabetes is unique, and so should be the goals and strategies for managing their condition. Join Dr. Giulio Romeo–clinician, researcher and innovator– for a wide-ranging discussion about tailoring diabetes care to individual patient needs based on age and chronic health conditions. Dr. Romeo will also discuss the role of lifestyle choices in the prevention and management of diabetes as well as the risks and benefits of newer diabetes drugs for its control and treatment.
This program presented in partnership with Beacon Hill Village as part of their Living Well Ending Well series will happen over Zoom webinar. Registration required. Please visit this link to register. Registrants will receive a link the day before the program.
