Had a golden opportunity to brush up my insulin knowledge on Ryzodeg at 1 day workshop at Melaka.
Great lineup of speakers from endocrinologist to Nephrologist & Cardiologist Dr David Yong!
Also managed to just walk to the famous Jonker Street, made world renowned by Fan Bing Bing!
Hot weather, around 1.5km from hotel.
Those taking umbrellas you know for sure are not Ang Moh haha
Stopped by this famous chicken rice shop to take my lunch before walking back to hotel
Not to forget their cendol!
Incidental finding of this Optimus Prime, took a photo for my son!
So what is Ryzodeg?
Ryzodeg is an insulin medication that combines two types of insulin: insulin degludec, a long-acting insulin, and insulin aspart, a rapid-acting insulin. This combination helps manage blood glucose levels throughout the day and during meals, providing a convenient and effective option for people with diabetes. Ryzodeg is designed to improve glycemic control and reduce the number of daily injections needed. Very less hypoglycemia noted in trial & real world study ARISE!

Glad to share my case in early renal & CV protection. However, due to bad sore throat causing loss of voice, I have to cancel my slot at the very last minute. I still attended to give my full support!
It was a great event, great food and also managed to re-connect with some old friends from JB!
Great lineup of topics to share with all the participants!
Celebrex, also known by its generic name celecoxib, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve pain and inflammation. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as arthritis, acute pain, and menstrual pain. Celebrex works by inhibiting an enzyme called COX-2, which plays a key role in the production of inflammatory chemicals in the body. This targeted action helps to reduce pain and swelling with potentially fewer gastrointestinal side effects compared to traditional NSAIDs.
Would like to extend my gratitude to Pei Chuan, Yee Jia & Thivashinni for coming early to prepare.
It was a great 1 & a half hour session with great food as well.
