Editor’s Note: Happy New Year!

As we welcome the New Year we want to thank all of you who have been able to use the information from our Diabetes Clinical Mastery Series to improve your knowledge. Last week I received a note from a physician in Huntington, WV, that makes me feel that the work we do means something.

Dr. R. wrote, and I am paraphrasing here, “I had volunteered to present a CE program to the local Nurse Practitioner’s association meeting on how to intensify insulin dosing in patients and was glad that I had received your Homerun Slides on Establishing Starting Basal and Bolus Dosing. These six slides made it easy to teach the basal/bolus concept. Thanks for sending me these.”

This week we continue to bring you the best, as Dr. Edelman shares his secrets on how to use SMBG to adjust insulin dosing and our publisher, Steve Freed, has prepared some Homerun Slides on the Microvascular Complications of Diabetes.
