Diabetes Mellitus continues to show an increasing trend in occurrence and incidence rates among population. In addition, various and unpleasant co-morbidities subsequent to Diabetes Mellitus (cardiovascular diseases, diabetic foot, ophthalmic conditions, malignancies and COPD), maintain their high rates.

For this reason, speeches displaying different perspectives and specialties have been programmed to assist in the comprehensive knowledge of the subject. Lifelong learning constitutes an essential good, not only for clinical practice and education on the recent advances in therapeutic perspectives, but also for the communication and cooperation among therapists, helping them to deal with the multiple and concurrent medical problems encountered by diabetic patients.

Participation in the Conference is free of charge and eight CME-CPD Units shall be allocated by the Panhellenic Medical Association. Also, the Private University “IEK AKMI” shall be a Scientific Associate to the Conference.
