PROGRAM
TOPIC: Managing Metabolic Syndrome in Mental Illness
SPEAKER: Dr Marlene Tham, Director of Melbourne Weight Loss; Director of Medical & Mind Weight Loss
People with severe mental illness have an average life expectancy 20 years less than the general population. This is due to higher rates of physical illness and metabolic diseases such as insulin resistance, pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes. More than 50% of people with mental illness will develop metabolic syndrome. Marlene will examine this phenomena and discuss evidence based interventions that will prevent progression of this disease down the metabolic highway.
TOPIC: The Holy Grail on CVD Reduction in Type 2 Diabetes: Have we Found it?
SPEAKER: Prof Michael D’Emden, Director of Diabetes and Endocrinology, Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital, Vice President, The Australian Diabetes Society
Reducing BGLs has been shown to reduce microvascular disease but up until now antidiabetic therapies (ADTs) have had no impact on the rates of macrovascular disease. Recently, several new classes of ADTs have been introduced with promising effects on CV risks. Their role in improving cardiovascular outcomes in diabetes will be discussed.
TOPIC: Intensifying Insulin: What Are Our Options?
SPEAKER: A/Prof Gary Kilov, Founding member, The RACGP Diabetes Specific Interest Group; Co-founder of Primary Care Diabetes Society of Australia (PCDSA)
Recently, our options for intensification of insulin regimens have changed considerably as emerging evidence and changes to the PBS have afforded us new opportunities with non-insulin therapies, in addition to more traditional insulin intensification practices.
TOPIC: Management of Diabetic Foot in General Practice – Practical Advice
SPEAKER: Malindu Fernando – Clinic Coordinator – Podiatry, Queensland University of Technology
GPs are often frustrated by the large gaps between guideline recommendations and the practical realities of managing diabetic feet in primary care. This session is designed to help GPs overcome these issues while at the same time using best available evidence and expert advice.
