On Demand Webinar: Using diabetes Apps to help with diagnosis and treatment decisions
This is the third of our 2021 ABCD webinar series which run on the first Thursday of each month.
In this third ABCD webinar, Professor Angus Jones will explain the science behind and how to use two apps (MODY probability calculator and the Type 1/ Type 2 diabetes classification model) to help define what type of diabetes someone has. He will also explain how a person’s characteristics, for example their sex, weight or standard blood test results, predict how well the different diabetes drugs will work and the likelihood of drug side-effects. Please join us and contribute to the live Q&A.
This event is approved by the Federation of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom for category 1 external CPD credit for 1 hour and a CPD certificate can be obtained after the event by completing a short evaluation.
