The session will be led by Dr Kevin Fernando, a partner of North Berwick Health Centre, who has a special interest in diabetes.

At the end of the webinar, delegates will have learned about:

  • Individualising HbA1c targets in people living with type 2 diabetes
  • How common is diabetes and frailty in the older person
  • The evidence behind HbA1c targets in the older person living with type 2 diabetes
