Webinars

As part of the Prediabetes Awareness & Action Initiative, the WPA is hosting a series of expert-led webinars to raise awareness, promote early diagnosis, and empower patients and caregivers with practical knowledge to prevent the progression to type 2 diabetes.

Prediabetes is a largely preventable and reversible condition if identified early. However, lack of awareness and delayed diagnosis continue to contribute to serious health complications. This webinar series aims to bridge this gap by providing accessible, evidence-based information and fostering stronger collaboration between patients and healthcare providers. 

Two expert-led webinars will be conducted to educate patients and caregivers on:
