The ADCES Foundation and the Certification Board for Diabetes Care and Education announces the latest recipient of a post-doctoral mentored fellowship in integrated diabetes management.

Diabetes care and education specialists were recognized at the ADCES22 Annual Conference for their achievements in diabetes care and their dedication to the association.

ADCES22 takes place this week, from Friday, Aug. 12 to Monday, Aug. 15 in Baltimore, Maryland. The four-day conference focuses on topics impacting diabetes, prediabetes and cardiometabolic care including diabetes technology and devices, new models of care and population management, psychosocial and behavioral aspects of care, pharmacotherapies, and self-management behaviors. 

The ADCES Foundation has awarded $60,000 in grants to innovative projects that are expanding access of diabetes care and education among three underserved populations: deaf and hard of hearing people with diabetes, people with gestational diabetes, and people experiencing food insecurity.

The award recognizes ADCES’ commitment and success in establishing an inclusive and welcoming environment and culture for both its members and staff.

An article authored by ADCES and recently published in Clinical Diabetes, the journal of the American Diabetes Association, calls for healthcare systems to leverage diabetes care and education specialists to improve quality care, improve patient experience, reduce cost of care and improve provider experiences.
