LIVE WEBINAR - TALK SHOW STYLE
Clinical considerations of endocrine disorders in pregnancy: from planning through birth
The 2023 Digital Learning Journey on Diabetes and Thyroid Disorders
9 June 2023, Rome
From 13:00 to 15.00 CEST
- HIGHLIGHTS VIDEO
OVERVIEW
Among their several and multiorgan consequences, insulin resistance and diabetes may also affect the reproductive system, causing fertility problems, pregnancy complications, and impacting the offspring health. In addition, thyroid hormones are major regulators of human body homeostasis which are essential for growth, neuronal
development, and reproduction. Therefore, endocrine disorders affecting both glucose metabolism and thyroid function must be tackled in a multidisciplinary framework when approaching couples with fertility problems or pregnant women. This live talk-show has the ambitious goal of bringing together KOLs from three different areas (diabetes, thyroid and fertility) under one roof to promote dialogue, discussion and to share opinions and new ideas without barriers, enhancing mutual knowledge and network.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Identify fertility issues related to metabolic disorders
• Define the best approach to manage obesity and thyroid disorders in pregnancy
• Identify gestational diabetes issues
• Apply latest guidelines to manage thyroid in pregnancy
TARGET AUDIENCE
Endocrinologists, gynaecologists, fertility specialists, general practitioners managing patients during pregnancy
LANGUAGE
English with simultaneous translation into Spanish
