ADA plans diabetes forums in Phoenix, Raleigh-Durham
The American Diabetes Association is holding free State of Diabetes community events in Phoenix on November 10 and in Raleigh-Durham on October 27, bringing health professionals, employers and community leaders together to discuss diabetes and obesity prevention, treatment and access to care. Both events feature expert panels on turning diabetes and obesity guidelines into real-world outcomes, along with opportunities for discussion and collaboration. The ADA says about 689,000 adults in Arizona and 1.15 million in North Carolina have diagnosed diabetes, underscoring the local scale of the issue. Separately, a World Diabetes Day webinar series will bring experts together to discuss diabetes research and care, with this year’s campaign emphasizing early recognition, screening and action.
