Report From the AADE: In the Convention Center with Diabetes Educators Report From the AADE: In the Convention Center with Diabetes Educators

Every educator I asked went right to work examining the problem and investigating my behavior, truly wanting to help.

After visiting relatives during Christmas and celebrating the New Year, Al’s morning scores were as high as 154 mg/dl.

You’ve got type 2 diabetes. A few years ago, you started using a long-acting insulin once a day, and your fasting glucose levels and your A1c came down. But now your A1c is creeping back up. Your doctor tells you that you need to add a mealtime insulin to your plan.
