Abstract
Join Us for AADE16
Register by April 22 for the Lowest Rate
AADE16 is taking San Diego, California, by storm from Friday, August 12 to Monday, August 15, 2016! We are hard at work planning every detail to make sure this is the best meeting yet.
We have shifted the meeting’s date and pattern to reduce the amount of time you spend out of the office. We have held the registration rate steady. Register by Friday, April 22 to lock in the lowest rate. We have also brought back the popular Roommate Forum on MY AADE NETWORK to put you in contact with other attendees who are looking to split room costs at the meeting.
Visit aade16.org for an overview of this year’s program and registration/housing information.

AADE Systematic Review Demonstrates Benefits of DSME
Patient Education and Counseling journal has published data showing that when added to usual diabetes care, DSME improves blood glucose control, equating to a reduction in A1C of nearly 0.6% compared with usual care alone. This AADE Foundation–funded research also demonstrated that DSME provides even greater benefit to people with diabetes who have persistently elevated glycemic values (an A1C of greater than 9%).
