Challenges of Diabetic Ketoacidosis:

Opportunities with Ketone Monitoring and Education from the Diabetes Team

On 3rd December, 2011 A. Menarini Diagnostics organised an intensive one-day international conference: This conference, held in Rome, was specifically targeted at the diabetes team – both doctors and nurses – because of the crucial role that the team plays in the prevention and management of diabetic ketoacidosis.

The international conference was an excellent opportunity to unite top experts in the field of diabetes care, to profit from their scientific excellence and clinical expertise, and to share their knowledge and experience. Three hundred participants came to the conference from 13 different countries.

Topics covered were:-

  • Epidemiology of Type 1 Diabetes and DKA
  • Pathophysiology of Ketogenesis and Diabetic Ketoacidosis
  • Sick-day Management: Approaches to Educating Patients, Families and HCPs
  • How to Prevent DKA at Diabetes Onset
