| Purpose of the course | |
| Intended learning outcomes | After the course the student should be able to show an understanding about the global burden of diabetes in the world, the complications of diabetes disease, the pathogenesis of diabetes as well as prevention and treatment of diabetes. |
| Contents of the course | Diabetes has now become a high profile public health concern, due to the escalating epidemic of diabetes in older people, and the emergence of type 2 diabetes in children. The number of people with diabetes worldwide is set to double in the next 20 years, as a result of increasing obesity and longevity. While some of this increase will be observed in Europe and North America, it is clear that the bulk of the epidemic will be observed in non-European origin populations, in countries undergoing rapid westernization. The course will provide an overview of the global epidemic of diabetes disease, classifications of diabetes, pathogenesis of type 1, LADA and type 2-diabetes, diabetes complications, prevention and treatment of diabetes and its complications. |
| Teaching and learning activities | The course consists of lectures, practical training in diagnostic, diabetes care and coaching, project and examination. Two weeks full time. |
| Compulsory elements | The project task is mandatory for all students and cannot be compensated for. The practical training can only be compensated for in case one can show that it is part of one¿s own professional work already. Missing a lecture can be compensated for by writing an essay about the subject in agreement with the organizer of the course. |
| Examination | Formative examination during carrying out of the project task and of the practical training. Final seminar where the student will present the project. |
