Welcome Statement

Dear Diabetes Clinician,

We are pleased to invite you to join us this spring in San Antonio, Texas for the Sixth Annual Clinical Diabetes Technology Meeting. This meeting will consist of a pair of one-day sessions devoted to Technologies for Diabetes Monitoring and to Technologies for Diabetes Therapy on April 9 & 10, 2010. The meeting will be practical and designed for busy diabetes clinicians who want to use the latest technologies and treatments in their practices and see demonstrations of the latest products. The faculty for this national meeting will include thought leaders in clinical endocrinology from throughout the United States. The field of diabetes technology has advanced rapidly over the past few years to produce powerful products for the monitoring and management of diabetes, and this meeting will present practical information about how to take advantage of these advances.

The meeting's two goals are for diabetes clinicians to become comfortable with using:

1.      Monitoring technologies to understand their patients' blood glucose levels and other aspects of their health.

2.      New medications and new delivery systems to optimize their patients' control. 

The meeting will also include sessions on how to develop simple insulin treatment algorithms for hospitalized postoperative and intensive care patients and how to motivate adults and children with diabetes to eat healthy, exercise and optimize body weight. At our Fifth Clinical Diabetes Technology Meeting in Long Beach in April, 2009, 425 clinicians saw, heard, and learned the latest about how to utilize technology in managing patients with diabetes.

The Clinical Diabetes Technology Meeting format will include lectures, demonstrations, case presentations, and panel discussions. There will be plenty of time for questions. The meeting will thoroughly cover blood glucose monitoring, continuous glucose monitoring, the new interpretation of A1C results, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, foot care technology, telemedicine, insulin pump therapy, sensor augmented pump therapy and medical management of Type 2 diabetes. 

The Technologies for Diabetes Monitoring session will be on Friday, April 9, 2010 and the Technologies for Diabetes Therapy session will be on Saturday, April 10, 2010. This meeting will provide clinicians from the community with an opportunity to become familiar with the latest tools to help their patients with diabetes. Our Meeting Planning Committee includes enthusiastic and energetic diabetes experts from leading diabetes medical centers and government agencies.

We look forward to seeing you in San Antonio.

With best wishes,
