Paediatric Diabetology 2023

The traditional conference Children’s Diabetology 2023, which is dedicated to the staff of pediatric diabetes teams, was held on 24-25 March 2023 at the Duo Hotel in Prague and Promedica was, as last year, a silver partner.

The event was organized by the Section for Pediatric Diabetology of the Czech Society of Pediatric Diabetology J. E. Purkyně and the expert guarantor was Prof. Zdeněk Šumník, M.D. Ph.

This year’s number one topic was screening for type 1 diabetes. This selection reflects the November breakthrough decision by the US FDA to approve teplizumab for the prevention of type 1 diabetes in children over 8 years of age and adults who are in stage 2 of the diabetogenic process. This approval has opened the way for preventive diabetes care, which will undoubtedly expand in the coming years. Much has been made of the ongoing technological revolution, which is giving children with diabetes an increasingly realistic chance of achieving normoglycaemia. While the PPG does not currently offer state-of-the-art technology that monitors glycaemia levels in real time, we are constantly looking for opportunities to engage in this trend. Our current measurements provide the best calibration option for the above systems, which, while moving towards calibration-free, the current systems need a reliable verification option for now, such as the glucose meters we supply.

The conference was attended by nearly 200 pediatric diabetes experts from all over the country. The conference participants consider us and our products to be very reliable. The accessories for practical use of sensor protection offered by ArgoMed were also another “pull” to visit our stand. We are looking forward to the next edition again.
