Early-onset type 2 diabetes is NOT the same condition diagnosed earlier. It’s faster, more complex and needs tailored pathways. Thank you to all who joined our LDC symposium to drive change.

New paper in @DiabeticMed finds women diagnosed with #GestationalDiabetes often receive little or no type 2 risk communication, during or after pregnancy.
