This year, we expect about 800 doctors to participate in the meeting and a draft scientific program is prepared and displayed here for your kind information. Theme of the meeting is Feto Maternal Diabetes, and many more invited lectures along with a symposium on `Glycosylation’ and a popular post graduate quiz have been planned to be included in the program. Lectures at this International CME are for senior primary care clinicians, who are very actively involved in diabetes day care delivery but not in research. As epidemiology and statistics may not interest most of them, invited faculty is requested to present more photographs, pictures, graphs, none or less tables, few references, and no statistics. The presentations need not always be justified with the available evidences, references and study details such as materials and methodologies. The emphasis at this CME is on Experience based medicine (beyond Evidence). The XIX APDF program is carefully designed to be the best academic meet for clinicians interested in diabetes. Organizers sincerely hope and wish to provide delegates with a great opportunity to meet and interact with many senior teachers from India.
