The Spring Scientific Meeting of the Korean Diabetes Association is an academic conference where experts in diabetes gather to share the latest research results and clinical experiences in basic and clinical research, diabetes management, and education for the advancement of diabetology. This year, the event was held under the slogan "The next chapter begins," featuring a variety of programs.

Daedong Hospital’s Food Service Nutrition Team Leader Park Ji-young, dietitian Lee Da-bin, and dietitian Seo Joo-hyung had all three submitted abstracts accepted: ▲A survey on the use of patient education materials provided by the Diabetes Society - Focusing on the Yeongnam Branch of the Korean Diabetes Education and Nutrition Association ▲Case Study of Repeated Nutritional Counseling for Middle-Aged Woman with Alcohol Dependence and Depression ▲A case of nutritional education conducted for patients unaware of high-carbohydrate meals. These were presented and exhibited as posters during the Spring Scientific Meeting.

Park Ji-young, Food Service Nutrition Team Leader who participated in this conference, stated, “At this time when population aging and diabetes prevalence are increasing, nutrition for diabetes patients is a very important aspect. The goal as a dietitian is not simply to restrict certain foods but to guide patients toward healthy eating habits to control blood sugar, prevent complications, and maintain good nutritional status.” She added, “This conference provided a valuable opportunity to share and discuss research results, and I will continue to strive for the advancement of diabetology.”

Daedong Hospital has established and operates a diabetes education center and conducts various activities for the health management and prevention of local diabetes patients, including salt taste tests, healthy diet exhibitions, and blood pressure and blood sugar checks for the elderly.
