Dear Friends,

In this issue of JDC Diabetes Gems we are covering a couple of important presentations at the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), ‘World Diabetes Congress’ held at Dubai

Telemedicine in diabetes care (DTMS®)
A home delivered diabetes care
Liraglutide(Victoza) – beyond glycemic control

We also have in store further proof to effectiveness of statins in the long term, a meta- analysis discussion on the controversial ‘ cancer risk associated with Lantus’ and how consumption of fish can lower your glucose concentrations.
