Learning Outcomes
By the end of this 2-hour webinar, you will be able to:
- Challenge outdated terminology around 'prediabetes' and confidently apply the modern 3-stage diabetes model in clinical practice
- Look beyond HbA1c to recognise the hidden metabolic risks — insulin resistance, β-cell dysfunction and the wider 'metabolic iceberg' — that your patients may already be carrying
- Identify when cardiovascular risk begins in early dysglycaemia, and why "wait and see" carries a real clinical cost
- Avoid the diagnostic pitfalls that lead to missed and delayed diagnoses of early diabetes
- Understand the role of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in early detection and behaviour change in primary care
- Confidently implement lifestyle and treatment interventions at the earliest opportunity to change long-term outcomes
Why Attend?
Are you still telling patients they have 'Pre-Diabetes'? It's time to rethink everything you know.
Millions of patients are sitting in GP surgeries right now with early diabetes — being told to "wait and see." But the damage has already begun.
This fast-paced, evidence-based webinar will challenge your current thinking and give you the tools to act earlier, diagnose smarter, and change outcomes.
"Stages 1 & 2 are Early Diabetes — not 'Pre' Diabetes. The sooner we recognise it, the sooner we can change outcomes."
Who Should Attend
This session is designed for:
- GPs and GP Registrars
- Practice Nurses and Nurse Practitioners
- Pharmacists and Clinical Pharmacists
- Diabetes Specialist Nurses
- Any primary care clinician managing patients with metabolic conditions
