    RCPI will deliver a public meeting on diabetes, entitled ‘The Ticking Timebomb – Type 2 Diabetes’ on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. at RCPI, No 6 Kildare Street, Dublin 2.



    PublicMeetingLiveWebcast.jpgAdult-onset or maturity-onset diabetes, known as Type 2 diabetes, usually develops slowly in adulthood, most commonly in adults after the age of 40. While the causes of this type of diabetes may differ from one person to the next, low activity level, poor diet, and excess body weight significantly increases the risk of developing the condition. With an average of seven years between onset and diagnosis, the earlier the condition is detected the easier it is to reduce the risk of developing long-term complications of diabetes, such as eye disease, kidney failure, foot disease, heart attack and stroke.
    This public meeting will look at the increase of Type 2 diabetes in Ireland in recent years and discuss the epidemiology of the condition, new treatments for Type 2 diabetes and the vascular risk associated with Type 2 diabetes.
