Diabetes mellitus is a growing global health challenge — but its impact doesn’t stop at blood sugar levels. It affects multiple systems and significantly shapes rehabilitation outcomes.

In this keynote lecture preview, Prof. Catherine Dziri — MD, PhD, Head of PRM at the Institute M. Kassab of Orthopaedy (Tunis) — explores how Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine contributes to diabetes care through prevention, assessment, and functional recovery.

This session dives into:
