Welcome Message

On behalf of the Scientific committee; SEHA Diabetes Education Nursing Advisory Group, we are thrilled to welcome you to the Second SEHA National Diabetes Education Symposium.

Diabetes continues to be one of the most challenging diseases. As we know effective management goes far beyond prescribing medications- it requires knowledge, skills and motivation, structured education and support can provide all of this to our patients and families.

This symposium marks an important milestone in our collective efforts to advance diabetes care, education, and prevention. It is a unique platform to exchange expertise, share best practices, and explore the latest evidence-based strategies in diabetes education.
