🌍 Today, the Diabetes Alliance had the privilege of attending a Joint Session at DIA EGYPT 2024 virtually, where Siyabonga Kwanele Zuma and I presented on "Inclusive Patient-Centred Diabetes Care: Amplifying the Voice of People with Diabetes in Decision-Making". We discussed how critical it is to shift from a provider-led approach to one that empowers people living with diabetes to actively participate in their care. Some key points from our presentation included: 🔹 The need to involve patients in decision-making, ensuring their preferences, values, and goals are respected. 🔹 How shared decision-making and patient education can improve treatment adherence and long-term outcomes. 🔹 Real-life examples of inclusive care models, including our work at the University Of Pretoria Diabetes Research Centre, where we supported patients with type 2 diabetes to start and titrate their insulin effectively through tailored education and support. 🔹 The importance of integrating patient advocacy at all levels, from clinical care to policy development. By amplifying the voices of people living with #diabetes, we can enhance the quality of care, reduce preventable complications, and foster a healthcare system that truly serves patients' needs. #DIA2024 #PatientCentredCare #DiabetesAdvocacy #InclusiveHealthcare #DiabetesAlliance #NCDs #HealthcareInnovation #MeaningfulEngagement #LeadOnNCDs

We are honored to have won the EARTO Innovation Award in 2021, a testament to our commitment to advancing critical technologies.   🗝 In today’s rapidly evolving global landscape, Research, Development, and Innovation (#RDI) are the key to competitiveness.
