On 12 September 2025, Cairo hosted the 4th International Diabesity Conference – The Link, at the InterContinental Semiramis Hotel, bringing together physicians, nutritionists, endocrinologists, and healthcare innovators to explore the deep connection between gut health, metabolism, diabetes, and obesity.

Expertly managed by ICOM Group, this year’s edition reflected a growing global interest in integrative medicine, blending advanced science with practical clinical solutions to address one of the world’s most urgent health challenges — Diabesity.

The Conference in Focus

• 627 attendees from Egypt and the MENA region.
  
  
• 45 faculty guests from leading universities and medical institutions.
  
  
• 6 scientific sessions and 2 workshops dedicated to research and case-based learning.
  
  
• Dual international accreditations:
  
  
  • AACME Accreditation — 8.75 Category 1 Credit Hours.
    
    
  • Scope Accreditation — 4 Hours.
    
    

These milestones positioned Diabesity 2025 as one of Egypt’s most comprehensive accredited medical conferences in the field of metabolic and nutritional health.

Scientific Horizons

Under the theme “The Link”, the conference focused on the gut microbiota’s role in diabesity — bridging the science of digestion, immunity, and neurology with metabolic and clinical outcomes.

From sessions on dysbiosis and insulin resistance to AI-driven precision nutrition, the scientific program showcased the future of metabolic medicine.

Key sessions included:

• From Dysbiosis to Diabesity: The Hidden Role of Gut Microbiota
  
  
• The Gut–Brain Axis: Mind the Microbiome
  
  
• Gut–Cardiometabolic Link: Dysbiosis and Beyond
  
  
• Her Microbiome, Her Wellness
  
  
• Beyond Algorithms: How AI is Shaping Nutrition and Precision Medicine
  
  

Through engaging lectures, expert panels, and interactive discussions, participants explored the evolving evidence on how gut balance can shape obesity, diabetes, and overall health outcomes.

A Platform for Collaboration

Led by Prof. Dr. Sherry Nabil, President of the Medical Health Awareness and Prevention Association (MHAPA), and supported by an esteemed scientific board, the conference succeeded in uniting medical leaders under one goal: to translate cutting-edge research into clinical practice.

The event also introduced a Functional Food Market, showcasing innovative nutrition solutions and real-world applications for managing diabesity.

These collaborative spaces allowed participants to exchange ideas and foster partnerships across academia, clinical practice, and the healthcare industry.

Words of Appreciation

In her welcome message, Prof. Dr. Sherry Nabil emphasized:

“This conference has become a true platform where science, research, and clinical practice meet to exchange knowledge and inspire innovation. This year, we focus on the gut microbiota — a system that links metabolism, immunity, and even neurological health”.

She also extended heartfelt thanks to the scientific committee, speakers, partners, and ICOM Group organizing team, whose dedication and precision ensured a smooth and inspiring experience for every delegate.

Accredited Excellence

The Accreditation Review Committee (ARC) of the American Association of Continuing Medical Education® (AACME) designated this activity for a maximum of 8.75 Category 1 credit hours, while EACMED Scope Accreditation awarded 4 additional hours.

These dual accreditations underscore the conference’s scientific rigor and commitment to continuing medical education — a hallmark of ICOM Group’s expertise in managing accredited healthcare events.
