For years, type 2 diabetes management in Australia has centred around treating to glycaemic targets, particularly HbA1c - a reactive approach that often waited for failure before adjusting treatment. But the paradigm has shifted with recent changes to the PBS. We're now embracing a ‘treat to prevent’ model, focusing on early interventions to prevent cardiovascular and kidney complications in appropriate patients before they occur. In this MEDTalk - a fast-paced, short-format style presentation - our four clinical experts will unpack current implications of this approach in primary care, including recent PBS updates on access to key type 2 diabetes medications. Join us to gain important insights and practical strategies for delivering patient-centred care that looks beyond HbA1c.

Lynch syndrome is an inherited genetic mutation that increases an individual's risk of various cancers. This education explores how to identify affected patients with a family history of cancer and provides an overview of how Familial Cancer Centres can assist these patients through genetic testing and risk management.

The importance of vaccination for older adults is widely recognised, however vaccine coverage in this group is sub-optimal. Australian data shows shingles/herpes zoster vaccine uptake is less than 50% in eligible adults, substantially lower than influenza vaccine uptake. In this webinar, learn about the importance of adult vaccination and considerations when recommending shingles/herpes zoster vaccination.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine and metabolic disorder amongst women in Australia, affecting 5-10% of women and girls of reproductive age.Insulin resistance is likely to be a significant risk factor forPCOS development. Women with PCOS are also more likely to have higher blood pressure and elevated blood lipid levels, placing them at increased risk for type two diabetes and cardiovascular disease. While there are many proposed mechanisms for the development of PCOS, the standard Western diet, high in fat and overall calories may contribute to PCOS etiology.Dietary modifications are recommended as a first-line therapy for the management of PCOS, yet many GP are not confident in providing nutrition support to patients.

Approximately 1 in 3 Australians are at risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) which accounts for around 17% of hospitalisations and 11% of all deaths. Because 90% of kidney function can be lost before symptoms manifest, only 10% of people with CKD are aware they have this condition. This means that over 1.5 million Australians are unaware they likely have CKD yet it is still under-recognised and may go undiagnosed.Prevention, early detection and treatment are especially important for kidney disease because chronic kidney damage is most often permanent. The two most common and significant risk factors of CKD are diabetes and high blood pressure, which are responsible for up to two-thirds of cases. andlt;grammarly-desktop-integration data-grammarly-shadow-root="true"andgt;andlt;/grammarly-desktop-integrationandgt;

There are a number of health conditions that are prevalent in men, particularly those living in Western countries. It is well documented that unhealthy diets and lifestyles can affect quality of life in men and contribute to conditions such as erectile dysfunction and prostate cancer. Erectile dysfunction can be a warning sign for increased risk of future atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events and has been referred to as a “canary in the coal mine”. The consumption of a plant-based diet may decrease this risk. Epidemiological studies have also indicated that vegetarian or vegan diets may confer a lower risk of developing prostate cancer.Furthermore, poor nutrition is a leading cause of health loss in Australia and has the potential to put men at risk of many chronic diseases and premature death. The leading cause of death for men in Australia is cardiovascular disease, followed by dementia and lung cancer. Stroke and prostate cancer are also in the top 5 causes of death in Australian males. andlt;grammarly-desktop-integration data-grammarly-shadow-root="true"andgt;andlt;/grammarly-desktop-integrationandgt;
