Have I mentioned lately how impressed I am with all the work that has been done and is still being done to make life better for people with diabetes? Earlier this year I watched 30-something lectures related to insulin (Insulin100 series sponsored by University of Toronto). It was truly heart-warming to see the dedication and drive of the scientists and clinicians who are working tirelessly to more effectively treat and one day prevent type 1 diabetes.
Last week I attended ATTD2021 and this week I’m watching talks by the folks at the T1D Exchange QI Collaborative. From the latest and greatest in diabetes technology to findings about patient experiences that could have a major impact on how we deliver care, there is so much going on.
If you have diabetes and are tired of the daily grind, be encouraged that there really are people out there working to change that for you. Keep plugging away and taking the best care of yourself you possibly can so that when the answers are in, you’ll be eligible to take advantage of them.
Next up: American Diabetes Association 81st Scientific Sessions at the end of June and Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists Annual Meeting in mid-August.
