American Diabetes Wholesale will be attending the February 15, 2008 Broward County Dietetic Association’s meeting.  At this meeting the BCDA will be discussing such topics as pediatric obesity, cardiovascular disease, women’s health issues, and GI issues.

ADW is proud to sponsor an event like this that updates the professionals who dedicate their lives to helping their patients to the fullest degree.  The event will take place at the North Broward Medical Center Auditorium.

Through December 18-20, 2007, American Diabetes Wholesale attended the “Making Data Count: Measuring Diabetes and Obesity in the Indian Health System.  This conference was held because the IHS is looking to better analyze the data that they are getting from testing, so they can find out if their program are making progress.

There were about 330 attendees, which included dieticians, RN, doctors, fitness instructors and CDE’s.  ADW is exciting to work with the IHS in order to help them get the data they need to keep all of their tribe members healthy.
