JDC monthly diabetes newsletter. Issue 52 February 2013

Dear Friends,

We invite you to another exciting issue of JDC Diabetes Gems filled with updates on diabetes care. We provide simple tips on how spending more time at the dinner table with family helps reduce obesity and the common errors committed by patients during insulin self-injections. The new paediatric type 2 diabetes guidelines are for the physician readers.

Gems video emphasises on the customization of HbA1c target based on patient characteristics.
