to subscribers:
Diabetes is an epidemic,
and there is great interest from the corporate world
to bring new products and treatments to market. There
are over 4900 studies going on for new drugs, appliances
and treatments for diabetes. The information that is
available is astronomical.
Since
1995 the medical industry has introduced 8 new drugs
and insulin’s, 50 new meters, and pumps and countless
over the counter aids There will be over 20 new drugs
for diabetes within the next 5 years. They will have
a non-invasive meter within 2 years and the
cure for Type 1 gets closer and beat goes on.
It
is crucial for diabetes educators, medical professionals,
and patients to have the most current information
available. Because
98% of diabetes management has to come from the patient,
If we can make it easier for them, they will have more
success in controlling their diabetes.
In addition the shift
to outcomes based diabetes management has put an extra
strain on our time and increased our need for knowledge.
Since we are all so
busy it makes it very difficult, almost impossible
to stay current on the new approaches, medications,
meters, etc, for our patients.
We are offering you
a free newsletter. This Ezine (electronic magazine)
for diabetes educators and medical professionals will
help keep you informed about the new treatments, appliances
and studies that can make a difference for your diabetic
patients to self manage their diabetes.
Here
are a couple of comments from diabetes educators
and patients:
