Keynote Presentation; The Evolution of Diabetes Care

For those who think we’ve failed because we still don’t have a “cure”, think again!  Enjoy an amusing (and humbling) tour of where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re headed in the treatment of type-1 diabetes, complete with “show and tell”.  You’ll be amazed at how far we’ve come! 

Afternoon Breakout Session: Strike the Spike:

When it comes to blood sugar control, nothing is more challenging (and frustrating) than those spikes that take place after meals.  This session focuses on issues surround post-meal spikes, realistic goals, measurement techniques, and most importantly, management strategies.
