Diabetes Professional Care (DPC) has relaunched as Cardiovascular Renal Metabolic (CVRM) Professional Care, marking a national rebrand that brings key healthcare specialisms together to drive more integrated care and “improve patient outcomes.” CloserStill Media will deliver the first CVRM Professional Care conference and exhibition at Olympia, London on October, 20 and 21. An expert paper discussing pump, continuous glucose monitoring and whole system features to guide the personalised selection of hybrid closed-loop systems currently available in Italy has been published. With multiple hybrid closed-loop (HCL) systems now available, tailoring the choice to clinical profiles and patient preferences can help optimise system selection. The emotional burden of amputation, the impact of Martha’s Law and palliative care are just some of the topics of the next EDFN National Conference. Register now to hear from expert speakers at the free, online event on Friday, May 8, starting at 1pm. International diabetes specialists have highlighted three barriers currently limiting the reliable interpretation of glucose-derived measures from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). This new clinical opinion recommends immediate transparency of clinical evidence, routine disclosure of calibration alignment and the gradual adoption of validated, standardised procedures to enhance the long-term interpretability and comparability of CGM data. Statement from the Obesity & Weight Management Alliance: We have received funding by means of sponsorship, including from pharmaceutical companies, to support the delivery of our conference. The sponsoring companies are Lilly, Zentiva Pharma UK and Leicester Diabetes Centre. Our sponsors have had no editorial input or control over the agenda, content development or choice of speakers, nor opportunity to influence except for the sponsored symposia presentations.

Afon Technology’s ‘Living with Diabetes Survey 2025’ gathered responses from 631 people with diabetes and has shown that 65.9 per cent currently have access to a continuous glucose monitor (CGM). The LIM and SH3 protein 1 regulates the synthesis and activation of A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase 17 in mesangial cells and is required for the profibrotic response to high glucose.
