Our speaker(s) will be from Bangkok Hospital Pattaya (BHP) on two topics. Dr. Borwonkhun Tontivuthikul, MD, from the Endocrine & Diabetes Center will talk about Diabetes - How to avoid it, How to handle it, and How to tell if you're 'pre-diabetic.' Followed by Vaccines for adults. Dr. Ploykarn Kiatiwat, MD, from the Internal Medicine Center will talk about Adult Vaccines. The first topic will be about what you need to know about diabetes, treatments of diabetes, diabetes technology. As the general population continues to age, the number of adults 65 years or older affected by diabetes is also increasing. This population is more at risk of developing diabetes-related complications like hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), kidney failure, and heart disease than younger people living with diabetes. There are special considerations involving diabetes that you may need to address to support overall health and quality of life. Click here for information about BHP's Endocrine and Diabetes center. The second, will cover preventable infectious diseases found more commonly with age. The speaker will include discussion about which vaccines you need for preventing and reducing complications of disease that helps the older person keep healthy and independent.
