A four-day-long World Congress of Diabetes organised by Diabetes India concluded recently in Kochi, and the outcome of it was that plans are afoot to introduce India specific treatment guidelines of diabetes in the near future.
Inaugurating the Congress, Sir Michael Hirst, President of the International Diabetes Federation, called for major steps in generating awareness on diabetes and its prevention.
On the first day of the convention, many doctors sat together to reach a consensus on various aspects of treatment of diabetes. Though there are international guidelines for the treatment of diabetes, there is an urgent need for India-specific guidelines, especially in areas of glucose monitoring and use of insulin in the hospital, besides taking into consideration the socio-economic status of a patient and the country.
