Submit Your Abstracts for AADE13!

More than 4,000 diabetes educators and other healthcare professionals will gather at the AADE13 Annual Meeting and Exhibition in Philadelphia, PA, August 7-10, 2013. The 40th AADE Annual Meeting is anticipated to be a successful educational event and an opportunity to exchange the latest information with diabetes educators from around the United States.

The Annual Meeting Program Committee invites you to submit an abstract to be considered for presentation in Philadelphia. Interactions with colleagues on diabetes management and education are the cornerstone to building communications that allow all of us to provide better healthcare. Presenting at the 40th Annual Meeting is an excellent opportunity for you to share your experiences with the diabetes education community. This year’s theme is The Point of Possible: Relationships Build Strength and Opportunity.

Diabetes educators touch patients at various points across the continuum of care: from diagnosis of either prediabetes or diabetes through treatment and advanced management. Diabetes educators use skills that encompass prevention, treatment and chronic disease management, as well as partnering with patients to enable them to achieve behavior change. Final selections will be based on the quality and clarity of the abstract and topical relevance to the contemporary practice environment of today’s diabetes educator.
