Professor Mark Cooper and
Professor Paul Zimmet recently attended the
Sunway Biomedical Symposium in Malaysia. Leading academics from the University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Jeffrey Cheah School of Medicine and Health Sciences and Monash University came together for the two-day symposium. With a focus on diabetes mellitus, the theme was
"Diabetes: Disarming the Silent Killer".
The major cost of diabetes is its complications. Professor Cooper’s presentation highlighted new approaches to these complications such as SGLT2 Inhibitors and GLP-1 analysis, which appear to offer end-organ protection independent of their glucose lowering effects.
