PCClip of the week
We know that gut hormones play a part in the effectiveness of bariatric surgery, so could we develop a medical treatment comprising gut hormones to mimic the effect of surgery? And how can we move our global eating patterns towards a more plant-based diet to improve health? Professor John Wilding asks these and other questions in the latest 5 things we don’t yet know. Hear his full list here on Horizons.
Who, what and why
The EASD has a long and proud history of postgraduate education and the organisation is delighted now to be able to offer online learning as part of this. We are building a suite of e-learning modules designed to educate, inform and engage healthcare professionals around the world.
The wide range of diabetes modules that populate this platform have been designed with the help of international experts in the field of diabetes. They combine innovative multimedia and challenging knowledge checks to help you learn more about this fast-moving area of healthcare and research.
Check out ‘Horizons’, a new section on our site with blogs, news, interviews, videocasts, podcasts and diary dates to help you keep up-to-date with all things diabetes-related.

Notice board
“Working with the EASD's e-learning team to create a number of different modules on type 1 diabetes from the pathogenesis of the disease to how SGLT-2 inhibitors can work effectively in some patients with the condition has been great. It gave us the opportunity to create innovative and engaging free to access content in many different aspects of type 1 diabetes from basic research to cutting edge clinical trials”
Professor Chantal Mathieu, Belgium
“In a fast paced field like diabetes, it is vital that a trusted name like EASD is offering innovative e-learning modules that are designed to allow people working in the area from around the world a free resource to keep abreast of new research, guidelines and recommendations including the ADA/EASD original consensus report on the management of hyperglycaemia in type 2 diabetes as well as the 2019 update”
