The American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) is urging people with diabetes to take steps, literally, to more successfully manage their diabetes this year. AADE is presenting five tips that will help people with diabetes lower their A1C, a key measure of blood glucose control.

Data in a study published today in the Patient Education & Counseling Journal demonstrates that when added to usual diabetes care, diabetes self-management education (DSME) improves blood glucose control, equating to a reduction in A1C of nearly 0.6% compared with usual care alone.

A new report published by the National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) is sharply critical of the Medicare competitive bidding program (CBP) for diabetes testing equipment and supplies.

The American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) has upgraded its Goal Tracker app to allow users to more actively manage their nutrition. Now, users have the ability to monitor their diet as it relates to their diabetes, help them create realistic nutrition goals, track what they eat and share diabetes-friendly recipes.

The American Association of Diabetes Educators released a video today to mark the start of National Diabetes Education Week that illustrates the need for people with the disease to learn how to manage their condition.

The American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) has been reapproved as a national accrediting organization (NAO) for entities that facilitate outpatient diabetes education to Medicare beneficiaries. This renewal is awarded by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and is in effective until September 27, 2021.
