You know who you are! This August, you need to pack up and make your way to Baltimore for a thrilling adventure at AADE18! This year at AADE18, we are proud to offer you exciting pathophysiology sessions.
On your pathophysiology safari, you may encounter some Zebras in the Herd (less common types of diabetes) or you may be challenged by a complicated labyrinth of It Is What It Is: Except When It Isn’t (deceptive diabetes diagnosis). Your heart will pound when attending the Contemporary Approaches to Managing Diabetes in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease. Rediscover the diagnosis of diabetes including modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for complications with Type 2 Diabetes, Case Study Care Plan and Physiology Review.
After all that excitement, we hope you will see your way clear to enjoy Diabetic Eye Disease: Bridging the Gap in Patient Care. Lose your inhibitions about metabolic surgery when hearing Embracing Metabolic Surgery and Optimizing Outcomes in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes or maybe you will enjoy a yogurt while listening to Diabetes Meal Planning for a Robust Gut Microbiota. Maybe you will decide it’s time to slow down and ponder treatment differences in Older Adults and Diabetes.
Those are just some of the exciting pathophysiology sessions offered this year! Did you ever think pathophysiology and exciting would belong in the same sentence? Well, AADE18 has done it! Whether you are looking for a general brush up on your knowledge or want to dive deep into diabetes complications and treatments, there are sessions tailor-made for you!
Our exciting patho sessions aren’t the only reason to attend AADE18 this year. There will be four days of general sessions with expert keynote speakers. There will be sessions focusing on technology, prevention of diabetes, psycho/social effects, business models and so much more! Vendors, vendors, vendors will fill the exhibit hall to bring you up-to-date on the latest treatments and technology to improve the lives of people with diabetes. And don’t forget about the nocturnal extracurricular activities in beautiful Baltimore as well! So, block your schedules and pack your bags. See you there!
