Since 2005 the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) invests in the education of diabetologists and facilitates the implementation of patient care by organizing postgraduate courses in different countries. I attended at one of these courses that was held in Prague between 29 and 31 October 2015. The course consisted of six sessions of state of the art lectures entitled: type 1 diabetes update, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, special situations, therapy, complications and the last one, diabetes treatment- what is on the horizon?. These sessions alternated with interactive workshops held in parallel sessions. I consider that this experience helped me improve my practice skills. I had the opportunity to interact with doctors from other European countries and exchange our experience in the field of diabetes. I hope Romania will organize again such constructive EASD postgraduate courses on clinical diabetes.
