Participants will explore emerging therapies, current standards of care, and strategies to improve outcomes for patients with diabetes, particularly in regions with limited endocrinology access and high disease burden. Topics will include the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors, inpatient glycemic management, diabetes care in pregnancy, and approaches to culturally responsive care.
