Acute and Chronic Complications
Acute and Chronic Complications
Diabetes presents a dual challenge with acute and chronic complications significantly impacting patient health. Acute complications like diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome (HHS) demand immediate medical attention to prevent life-threatening situations. Conversely, chronic complications including neuropathy, retinopathy, nephropathy, and cardiovascular diseases, reduce quality of life and longevity. Understanding the underlying mechanisms and risk factors for these complications is crucial for developing preventive strategies and interventions. The Diabetes 2024 summit will delve into acute and chronic complications, equipping healthcare professionals with tools for optimized patient care and outcomes.
