It has been conceptualised as a multidisciplinary platform that reflects the evolving nature of diabetes care. By bringing together different specialties, we aim to improve outcomes, particularly in preventing complications such as diabetic foot, which require coordinated and timely intervention. A key focus of the conference is diabetic foot disease, one of the most serious yet preventable complications of diabetes. The scientific program emphasises a comprehensive approach, not only treating diabetes but actively preventing its complications through early intervention, advanced care, and coordinated clinical practice. Experts will also explore the integration of AI and digital health, advanced therapeutics, and multidisciplinary care, with a focus on preventing complications rather than just treating diabetes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Major research themes at the conference include diabetic foot ulcer innovations, cardiovascular and renal complications, metabolic disorders, epigenetics, microbiota, and emerging therapies, along with topics such as diabetic retinopathy technology, chronic kidney disease in diabetes, gestational diabetes, obesity and diabesity, and cardiovascular risk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chennai, March 20, 2026: MV Hospital for Diabetes, Chennai, is hosting MVCON 2026, a three-day national conference from March 20 to 22, 2026, bringing together leading experts in diabetes care, research, and clinical practice.
