In his presidential address at the 73rd Scientifi c Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (ADA), John Anderson, MD, asked whether the United States is prepared for this “tsunami of diabetes.” Held in June, this year’s 73rd Scientifi c Sessions drew nearly 18,000 participants and included 2,500 abstracts, more than 2,000 research posters, and 92 symposia. The meeting was internationally attended. An estimated 60% of meeting attendees came to Chicago from countries outside of the United States. This year’s program included presentations on treatment strategies for type 1 diabetes, as well as information on the effi cacy of novel agents for diabetes and potential pathways for targeting better control of the disease. Key highlights from the meeting included a look back on important trials such as the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) and a glimpse into the future for the treatment of diabetes, including new drugs and formulations of antidiabetic agents. |
