Ahead of World Diabetes Day on 14 November 2021, this webinar will explore the factors driving this rise in type 2 diabetes among young people and the positive changes health professionals can implement in their practice to ensure children, young people and their families receive the best support when a child is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
