A LOOK INSIDE THE LATEST ISSUE OF DCU
We want to say how much we're looking forward to seeing so many of you at ADA in June here in San Francisco. We hope you will join us in supporting the amazing Taking Control of Your Diabetes organization, led by Dr. Steve Edelman, who has type 1 diabetes himself and who gives so much to all us patients and providers and manufacturers. I will be moderating the second annual TCOYD Diabetes Forum that includes an incredible panel: Dr. Edelman, Dr. Wayman Wendell Cheatham, Dr. James Gavin, Dr. Robert Henry, Dr. Anne Peters, and Dr. Eugene Wright (PCP expert!). The Q&A will be fast-paced, and will focus on current and next-generation GLP-1 and DPP-4 inhibitors, CGM acceptance and reimbursement, next-gen insulin delivery, compounds in basic and clinical research (PTP1b inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors, 11bHSD, SPPARMs), bariatric surgery, etc. "Where do I sign up?!" This will be at the Westin St. Francis on Sunday, June 8 - sign up at www.supporttcoyd.org. One hundred percent of donations go to patient education for people with diabetes. The event will begin at 5 p.m. with cocktails and snacks, followed by a panel discussion and a Q&A session. See you there, I hope!
