PLENARY IV
A key clinical objective of the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is to achieve glycaemic control in order to reduce the development and progression of diabetes related complications. Multi-disciplinary team, including a physician and diabetes educator, is recommended to have better result of diabetes treatment.
More than half of patients with T2DM have a HbA1c above the ADA recommended target of 7%. Failure to achieve and maintain good glycaemic control may be attributed to a number of factors. Traditional blood glucose lowering agents do not prevent the progressive loss of β–cell function in patients with T2DM.
Hypoglycaemia is a common side-effect in patients using sulphonylureas or insulin. When glycaemic targets for an individual are tightened, the risk of hypoglycaemia increases. The risk for experiencing hypoglycaemic events is further increased in those patients with declining renal function.
Declining renal function is likely to have a long- term impact on patient care, through an increased risk of hypoglycaemic and cardiovascular events. Most glucose lowering agents are partially or primarily eliminated via the kidney, and so their clearance decreases with declining renal function. This may result in increased plasma levels of the drug or its metabolites, potentially leading to an increased risk of adverse effects and/or hypoglycaemia. Conversely, drugs that are primarily excreted by routes other than the kidney may be of particular use in T2DM, in that they are unlikely to exhibit significant increases in plasma levels in patients with declining renal function, even if this has progressed as far as overt chronic kidney disease. They are, therefore, unlikely to be associated with increased levels of adverse events or inappropriate levels of blood glucose lowering in these patients.
We are pleased to announce our final and 4th plenary session to be presented by Professor Jiten Vora, Consultant Physician at the Royal Liverpool University, Senior Clinician in Diabetes and Endocrinology.
Prof. Vora qualified from the University of Cambridge, UK, and specialized in diabetes and endocrinology as a research fellow and then lecturer at the University of Wales College of Medicine, UK. He also spent time as a Fulbright Senior Fellow at Oregon Health and Sciences University, USA. Prof. Vora has ongoing research interests in the development of/screening for/treatment of diabetic retinopathy; renal haemodynamics/function and hypertension in type 2 diabetes, where he has extensive publications in these fields.

Beauty & Aesthetic Medicine
Dr. Kwan Kin Hung, Vincent Specialist in Plastic Surgery
Dr. Vincent Kwan is Council member of the Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons and Director of Skin Laser & Plastic Surgery Centre of St. Teresa’s Hospital.
Beauty is a characteristic of a person that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure. The concept of beauty changes over time. Beauty is a subjective feeling. It is influenced by the race, culture, social economic background, personal preference and commercial advertisement.
Dr. Kwan will discuss with us the use of non- invasive or minimally invasive means to rejuvenate and restore the face to its’ original beauty. Examples of aesthetic medicine are botulinum toxin and filler injection, radiofrequency and fractional laser.
In seminar C, we are going to discuss two commonly encountered topics raised by patients which are not covered in our conventional undergraduate or postgraduate training – Aesthetic and Oral Problems.
Common Oral Problems in Primary Care Setting

DAY 2 LUNCH SYMPOSIUM
E N H A N C I N G E A R LY A N D O P T I M A L GLYCEMIC CONTROL – WHAT CAN DPP-4 INHIBITION OFFER?Professor Tan Choon Beng KathrynMBBCH, MD (Wales), FRCP (Lond, Edin), FHKCP, FHKAM (Med)
Dr. Kathr yn Tan is current ly Cl in ica l Professor at the Department of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong. She is the immediate past president of the Hong Kong Society of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Reproduction. She also serves as a member of the Executive Board of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes and council member of the Asian Pacific Society of Atherosclerosis and Vascular Disease. Her main research interests relate to lipid disorders and lipoprotein
since 2003 in studies involving diabetic drugs, anti- hypertensive drugs, anti- viral drugs and vaccination for H5N1 Influenza virus.
Lowering HbA1c levels have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of various cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients. Despite this evidence, HbA1c is still not well controlled in most places − only 37% of patients in Hong Kong achieved the target HbA1c level of <7.0%. Thus, it is crucial to improve the treatment strategies to meet the glycaemic goal. According to the treatment algorithm developed by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), the initial step of the tier 1 treatment involves lifestyle management and the prescription of metformin. If this is insufficient, either sulfonylureas or basal insulin should be added. Currently, a number of sulfonylureas, including glibenclamide, glimepiride, glicazide and glipizide are available, and clinicians must try to select the optimal agent for their patients. The use of sulfonylureas or basal insulin have been recommended by guidelines published by different organisations. The revised consensus statement published in 2008 further emphasized that early addition of basal insulin should be implemented in patients who do not meet the HbA1c target, and further intensification of basal insulin is required in patients who have difficulty reaching their HbA1c goal.
metabolism, as well as the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and diabetic vascular complications.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a common disorder with its long term complications being a major cause of morbidity and mortality. One of the major challenges facing health care providers in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes is to maintain the balance between achieving glycaemic targets while minimising adverse events. Tolerabil ity issues and adverse events l ike gastrointestinal symptoms and hypoglycaemia frequently affect adherence to therapy and can have a negative impact on patient outcomes. The incretin- based therapies have lower risks for hypoglycaemia and either decrease body weight (GLP- 1- receptor agonists) or are weight neutral (DPP-4 inhibitors). GLP-1-receptor agonists are injection-based whereas DPP-4 inhibitors are oral agents. As a drug class, the DPP- 4 inhibitors have favourable adverse-effect profile and more convenient dosing. This new class of agents offers a potential advantage in achieving glycaemic goals for patients with type 2 diabetes without additional tolerability concerns.

Every person loves water, but who is willing to dig for it? Who wants to dig a well that goes down deep into the great aquifers below, and taps into infinite water?
In the same way, every person loves love, every person loves authenticity, real feeling, real passion, real heart. But who wants to dig for it? Who will do the work re-quired to tap into the invisible reservoirs of infinite Divine-human love lying deep in every heart?
Most people hold back their heart, because they think that's the "safest" way to live. Putting your heart out there, taking emotional risks, admitting how you feel to someone -- all of that sounds terribly scary to the average human being. But the truth is, the most painful life is the life in which you are not expressed. When you guard your heart, you live in a world where, due to not living authentically, you don't get to see any life around you. And you naturally draw this conclusion: "Life has no life." Well, yes, ever since you've been gone, that's true.
As soon as you find those deeper springs in yourself, as soon as you are willing to offer the living water of your own true emotion, love, care, passion, tenderness, etc., others will drink of those springs, and that will bring out deeper things in them. You can be sure of that. Reality is living water. People love it.
Your heart is Divine. That is true of everybody. Therefore, whoever is willing to dig for love, and goodness, and life -- that person will have it. Living water will flow from your heart, which is the Heart of God.
