FAREWELL COCKTAIL
Abnormalities in insulin secretion and action determine the pathogenesis of all known forms of diabetes. Recent investigation in this area has considerably expanded our understanding of diabetes and related disorders. In addition, the more insulin action is investigated, the more it becomes apparent how diabetes contributes to the emerging burden of chronic disorders. Cancer, cardiac failure, Alzeheimer disease, abnormalities in mood, memory and cognition, chronic liver diseases are just few between the several such conditions.
Through the last 30 years, the I nternational Sym posium on I nsulin Receptor and I nsulin Action has brought forward recent advances in this area. Importantly, the symposium has served as a catalyst to facilitate the translation of novel discoveries to the treatment of diabetes mellitus and its complications. It is our hope that the 11th edition of the Symposium will continue this tradition.
In 2007, global health expenditure to treat and prevent diabetes totalled at least 140 billion Euros. It is now evident that stopping diabetes requires an integrated approach to public health capable to guarantee every person s access to an healthy life. It is also our hope that the XIth I nternational Sym posium on I nsulin Receptor and I nsulin Action will also serve as a forum fostering productive interactions between scientists and clinicians as well as policy makers.
