This talk will focus on the newer treatment options and cardiovascular/renal outcome trials for type 2 diabetes and the latest technology options for type 1 diabetes. The various diabetes treatment guidelines will be discussed and contrasted with PBS subsidised options. If you are an endocrinologist devoted to the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, bone or gonad, this is the talk for you. If you already slave away in multiple diabetes clinics, there will be some practical tips to take back to the coalface.
