title: Updates on insulin resistance.
abstract: The World Congress on Insulin Resistance, Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease is a unique multidisciplinary program held on 1-3 November 2012 in Hollywood, CA, USA. It was well attended by a large contingent of endocrinologists, cardiologists, internists, diabetologists, obstetricians/gynecologists, pediatricians, dieticians, registered nurses and other healthcare professionals interested in insulin resistance. In recent years, the Congress has advanced awareness of the contribution of multiple endocrine and paracrine systems to obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
