While these numbers are important, they don't reflect the real picture, they do not tell you the small details like the suffering of people with diabetes.

Apart from focused approach looking at the larger picture by doing research, educating and making people aware. With this dualistic approach our intention is to make impact on diabetes and its treatment. The heart of the conference is the patients and help navigate them from illness to health.
