With numbers constantly increasing, forecasts speak of over 20% more by 2030 and + 45% by 2045. Only in Europe there are 61 million diabetic adults and 36% of undiagnosed cases. These are the data of the International Diabetes Federation (Idf) released on the occasion of the World Diabetes Day 2022, celebrated every year on November 14, which calls for greater education of patients and professionals in order to reduce the onset of the disease and improve early diagnosis. Consulcesi, the Italian leader in continuing education in medicine for medical-health personnel, strengthens its commitment in the fight against diabetes by expanding its training offer with 13 ECM courses on the subject.
