Purpose
The Summit will provide an engaging forum to discuss the latest practices, opportunities, resources, and tools for diabetes prevention, control, and management. National, state, and local experts will share innovative and best practice strategies to reduce the burden of diabetes and empower patients and their families to live healthier lives.
Target Audience
All members of the healthcare team who work in the treatment and management of diabetes.
Educational Need
Diabetes is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management to maintain overall health and prevent complications. When a person has diabetes, the body either does not make enough insulin (type 1) or cannot properly use insulin (type 2). When the body does not have enough insulin or cannot use it properly, blood sugar builds.
People with diabetes can develop high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and triglycerides. High blood sugar, particularly when combined with high blood pressure and lipids, can lead to heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, amputations of the legs and feet, and even early death. Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one in three adults in the United States has prediabetes. Of those with prediabetes, more than 80% do not know they have it. For example, in Iowa, only 7.2 percent of individuals have been told by a doctor or healthcare provider that they have prediabetes or are borderline diabetic.
This yearly event highlights new diabetes prevention, management, and care innovations. Diabetes care is important for maintaining overall health, preventing complications, and improving the quality of life for individuals with diabetes. It requires a comprehensive and personalized approach that includes medical management, lifestyle modifications, and ongoing support from healthcare professionals.
Agenda
All times listed are in Central Time. The agenda is subject to change.
