Diabetes screening and early diagnosis is the key to preventing and managing this disease. Sysmex supports the fight against diabetes with better access to diabetes testing. As part of our efforts to raise awareness of this condition on World Diabetes Day, we cordially invite you to join us with our clinical experts.
The first lecture addresses conditions in detection and management of prediabetes. The second lecture will unveil a simple solution to the big dilemma of glycated haemoglobin reporting. Insights into challenges in the health care system to standardise and harmonise the HbA1c reporting will be shared and efforts of IFCC, NGSP and other national organisations to achieve standardisation.
