On the evening of Nov 18, Taskforce of the Guideline Workshop 2021 was held online. Professor Michael Cheung, chief scientist of KDIGO, Professor Antonio Ceriello, editor-in-chief of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), and more than 500 clinical professionals in the fields of diabetes, kidney and cardiovascular clinic and scholars attended the meeting. Dr. Li Sheyu from the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism also joined online as a guest and participated in the academic exchanges.

The workshop was themed with formulating dynamic heart and kidney prevention and control guidelines for diabetes. Dr. Li Sheyu made a speech on the international cooperation on evidence-based medicine methods and clinical practice guidelines, and answered the questions of “adding” or “changing” antidiabetic drugs and how to accurately select taget users from the interdisciplinary perspective of evidence-based medicine and clinical practice for diabetes treatment.

It was the first time for a WCH scholar to be invited to this workshop, indicating WCH’s clinical research on endocrinology and metabolism has been deeply integrated into international research groups.
