About The Diabetes Smart Online Symposium

The Diabetes Smart Online Symposium and Learning Center is the start of a learning revolution to bring together the diabetes community in interactive online programs.

There are two main events in 2016, the first from June 5th to 16th, and the second from November 6th to 20th. The programs cover Type 1, Type 2, gestational, juvenile, and pre-diabetes along with a range of health and wellness topics.

Hundreds of experts will present live online sessions with the community, and interact via chat, polls, the interactive whiteboard, video, audio, and more. All sessions are recorded and available for on-demand viewing after the live session occurs.

The symposiums and on-going sessions at the Diabetes Smart Learning Center transcend geographical boundaries and create true interactions in the diabetes community.
