In this webinar, we will shine a spotlight on the critical issues surrounding the 'Management of Diabetes in Developing Countries and Other Resource-Limited Settings.' Our primary goal is to explore and understand the unique challenges confronting healthcare providers in these regions as they navigate the complexities of diabetes care. We will delve into the hurdles related to limited resources, access to medications, and diagnostic tools, along with the difficulties of providing comprehensive support to individuals with diabetes under these circumstances. By sharing experiences and insights, we aim to foster a deeper appreciation of the challenges faced by healthcare providers and to encourage discussions around innovative solutions and support systems that can help improve diabetes management in these resource-limited settings.
