Special scientific sessions
Special scientific session 1 (Sponsored by boehringer-ingelheim / Bayer) SGLT2i and the novel MRA: are there synergistic effects or not? Chair(s): Moon-Kyu Lee, Jihyun Lee
Friday 26 September, 08:40~10:00
Room 5
(Art Hall, 4F)
This session explores the potential synergistic effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and novel mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) in cardiorenal protection.
David Cherney will highlight key findings from the EMPA-Kidney trial, Boyeon Kim will share practical insights from Asian clinical experience with finerenone,
and Jennifer B. Green will present data from the CONFIDENCE trial investigating the combined use of finerenone and empagliflozin.

Special scientific session 2 (Sponsored by Daewoong / Dong-A ST / Celltrion) Let’s figure out the best option against diabetes Chair(s): Dong Sun Kim, Seungjoon Oh
Friday 26 September, 13:30~14:50
Room 5
(Art Hall, 4F)
This session explores the pharmacologic differences among SGLT2 inhibitors and their clinical implications, followed by a discussion on their combination with DPP-4 inhibitors or TZDs. Emphasis will be placed on optimizing glycemic control through synergistic dual therapy. By integrating mechanistic and comparative insights, this session aims to inform more effective and individualized treatment strategies for patients with type 2 diabetes in real-world clinical settings.

Special scientific session 3 (Sponsored by AstraZeneca / Novo Nordisk) Intensify, simplify and optimize type 2 diabetes treatment Chair(s): Chang Beom Lee, Kang Seo Park
Friday 26 September, 15:00~16:20
Room 5
(Art Hall, 4F)
This session will explore strategies to intensify, simplify, and optimize treatment for type 2 diabetes using evidence-based, patient-centered approaches. Topics include early intensive therapy with simplified regimens, the clinical benefits of once-weekly GLP-1RAs, and a comparative analysis of dapagliflozin and semaglutide for diabetic kidney disease. By integrating these insights, the session aims to support more effective and streamlined diabetes care.

Special scientific session 4 (Sponsored by LG Chem) Best practices for care of diabetes in the elderly Chair(s): Rima T. Tan, Apiradee Sriwijitkamol
Saturday 27 September, 08:40~10:00
Room 5
(Art Hall, 4F)
This session brings together experts from Thailand, the Philippines, and Korea to share current practices and clinical strategies in managing diabetes among older adults across Asia. Specifically, it will present findings from a recent large-scale observational study on Gemigliptin in elderly patients, offering evidence for its therapeutic value and real-world applicability. The session aims to provide practical insights and promote evidence-based practices in geriatric diabetes care throughout the region.

Special scientific session 5 (Sponsored by GSK) Beyond glucose - navigating infections, complications, and prevention in diabetes care (cross-specialty with the Korean society of infectious diseases) Chair(s): Kwan Woo Lee, Hee Jung Choi
Saturday 27 September, 11:00~12:20
Room 5
(Art Hall, 4F)
Beyond glucose shows how people with diabetes face extra risks from infections like shingles and RSV, points out higher disease risks in Asians, and explains benefits of new vaccines. The session will share patient cases, local risk data, and simple prevention steps, stressing why vaccines matter in diabetes care. Participants will leave with strong practical tips to improve patient health and shape the future of diabetes care.
