Hypoglycaemia; beyond HbA1c
This focused hypoglycaemia training session supports healthcare professionals in understanding, recognising and managing hypoglycaemia in the context of diabetes. The course explores who is at risk, how hypoglycaemic episodes present, and the practical steps required to treat them safely and effectively.
Delegates will also examine how diabetes medications contribute to hypoglycaemia risk, why appropriate medication management is essential for long‑term outcomes, and how education and patient‑centred support can reduce recurrent episodes. The session goes beyond HbA1c, emphasising real‑world risk reduction and improved patient safety.
